Here are links to images of an official NWA 2999 pairing called NWA 4931. The core is from M.I.T. performing magnetic studies on it. They look so dissimilar in appearance to make me ask if this is indeed the same stone you claimed was paired with NWA 2999 or are we talking about a completely different Angrite?

I respect Dr. Irving's pairing conclusions but can not find any reference without NWA nomenclature to describe it. What is the NWA number for the piece you are claiming is paired to NWA 2999?


Here are some images of a NWA 4931specimen which is available for purchase:

HI Greg and List,

The lithology on that angrite is so bizarre and interesting. What are
those veins I am seeing? Shock or weathering?

You definitely have a winner on your hands. I hope you send a bottle
of fine wine to your source on this one. (or a box of cigars) ;)

Best regards and thanks for sharing the pix,

MikeG
