AW: [meteorite-list] Sale - Howardite Blow Out

I just got back from my mainland trip.  I went to Meteor Crater (thank you 
everyone who gave me instructions on how to find the old American Meteorite 
Museum ruins) and will be posting about that tomorrow, after I get some 
rest.  I need a vacation to recover from my vacation!

My personal feelings on NWAXXX are that I can accept "possible" pairings, as 
long as they are clearly stated to be only possible, and the classifications 
are the same -- I don't want to get a LL6 misclassified as a eucrite, or 
something equally bizarre.  This is especially important on the rare types, 
where there is a big stake in finding more to sell.  However, the more 
information I have on a find, the more desirable it will always be.  An 
unclassified NWA needs to have some interesting characteristics 
(orientation, 100% fusion crust, etc.) to grab my attention over a 
classified one.
