[meteorite-list] Best chondules I have ever seen

[Zelimir Gabelica]

Hello Mike,

I am the lucky owner of 2 such pieces of NWA 1933, thus an end section of 
about 13 g (acquired in May 2003 at a mineral show, at a time when the 
meteorite was not yet classified) and a full slice of 20.5 g acquired 5 
months later, elsewhere.
Both are indeed so stunning and I have never seen such a beautiful 
chondrule pattern (perhaps comparable to Sahara 98175 (LL3.5, S4, W1) while 
perhaps only Ragland or (especially) Krymka may present a more stunning 
pattern).
My price for the end section was about 17euro/gram and for the slice 15 
euro/gram (friendly prices) and I believe they are fully worth it 
(subjective personal evaluation).
The lucky winner of your slice got it for a barguain!

By the way, is NWA 1933 an LL3.0 or is the second digit so far unknown 
(undetermined) ?

Happy hunting,

Zelimir
