[meteorite-list] AD - NEW Shergottite - NWA 3171

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

I would like to offer a new and beautiful Basaltic Shergottite, NWA 3171. I 
was lucky to be able to make a trade during the Tucson Show for all that was 
available of this awesome new Martian meteorite. The owner only had 19 grams 
available and I was able to acquire all of it. Six grams is still being 
studied in two different labs so it could be quite some time before I 
receive those pieces. I sliced the 13.3 gram end cut I received so far and 
have made available all 10 pieces, a mere 10.646 grams combined after 
cutting losses! This may be all that is available to collectors, making this 
one of the rare ones to get if you are interested. Here are the direct links 
to the eBay auctions, all with "Buy it Now" under my seller name,

I have several eBay auctions ending later today, several still at just 99 
cents. There are also many larger specimens if you are interested at very 
good values. In addition to all of the above, I have a number of 
unclassified Saharans that I started at just 99 cents, there will be some 
great deals made today.

Keep an eye on my eBay auctions as I will be offering many nice specimens 
this week and next. My usual auction start day is Wednesday but expect to 
see new offerings at any day from now through next Wednesday. I just 
returned from Morocco last night and will be going through the material and 
offer some of it over the next few days. I did manage to get several very 
fresh and awesome chondrites, some of the best I have seen in years! I also 
have a great 4 kilo thumb printed individual that would the envy of any 
collector.

To see these and all that I have available today and throughout this and 
next week, click on one of the above links and then click "View seller's 
other items". That, or go to eBay and search for items by seller,
