[meteorite-list] Ad: New IIICD Iron Meteorite Available!

[John Birdsell]

Hello Everyone! We are happy to announce a NEW Saharan Iron-NWA 2677 
(prov.)! This exceptional little iron is a new, and particularily 
beautiful iron from the Saharan desert. It has been provisionally 
classified as a IIICD (it appears to group closely to the IAB subclass 
LM). Classification data will be submitted to the Nom. Com. shortly. 
Saharan irons are rare and this one is particularly rare with a total 
known weight prior to cutting of just 100 grams. After accounting for 
the 21 grams being donated to Science as type specimens and cutting 
losses, there are only about 60-65 grams available for collectors. This 
lovely little iron has moderately high nickel content of 12.8% and is 
quite stable. It has a very attractive etch! Please feel free to check 
out the photos!
