[meteorite-list] AD / Offers Wanted - NWA 011 Pairing - 530 Grams !!

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

I am sure everyone has heard of NWA 011 and its pairings NWA 2400 and NWA 
2976. NWA 011 was originally thought to be from Mercury by Japanese 
scientists in 2000 but since then it has been classified as ungrouped, very 
cool all the same.

I have a 530 gram pairing that I acquired a few months ago which took 
several months of negotiating to bring back from Morocco. I would like to 
try and find a home for it intact. I am considering offers for a couple of 
weeks and if I accept one, then we can do a couple things; 1) Keep it intact 
and not have an NWA assigned but will come with a written statement from the 
scientists at the University of Washington who examined it determining the 
pairing, 2) Cut the stone and supply a 20 gram type sample to have an NWA 
assigned or 3) If I do not receive an adequate offer to cover my costs than 
I will cut it, submit a type sample and have an NWA number assigned, then 
offer slices at a very competitive rate (One of the pairings was recently 
being offered at $1,000.00 per gram).

Here is a link to a photo of the 530 gram complete stone:

If you are interested in making an offer or have any questions, please email 
me off list at gmhupe at tampabay.rr.com and I should be able to make a 
decision by September 8th,  just before the Denver Mineral Show.

Best regards,
Greg
