Dear List,

I would like to introduce NWA 2798, a wonderful new L3.2 that I have never
offered before. I sent the largest of 13 stones to a pro to have cut on a
wire saw to provide the best possible thin slices that took a nice polish
and provide a generous surface-2-weight ratio! Here is the complete list of
available specimens. The ones I think are the best are image numbers: 4, 6,
7, 10, 16, 22*, 24*, 25*, 27*, 39, 40. The numbers with * next to it means
it has a large black inclusion, possibly achondritic or melt pocket, I am
asking $12.00/g for these four slices.

NWA 2798 L3.2 Specimens (TKW 1805g 13 stones collected in 2005)
Meteoritical Bulletin official entry has error in number of pieces that make
up the TKW, should read "13 pieces":

1) All slices except ones listed in 2) or 3) - $6.00/g
2) Slice has large light inclusion and/or small black inclusion - $7.50/g
(#'s 4, 6, 7, 10, 15, 16)
3) Slice has large black inclusion - $12.00/g (#'s 22, 24, 25, 27)
4) I will consider offers for the Main Mass and End Cut (#'s 48 and 49)
