[meteorite-list] AD- Two unusual eucrites NWA 4396/4397

[Stefan Ralew]

Dear List,

today I would like to introduce another outstanding meteorite. It is a very 
unusual and interesting polymict eucrite with a very high content in iron. I 
have not seen an eucrite with such a high iron content yet (exception NWA 
4397), in my opinion the iron content is about comparable with some 
L-chondrites. The matrix is very wild composed of clasts embedded in a fine 
grained goundmass, also partly extremely metal poor clasts can be observed. 
NWA 4392 is certaily a very unusual and beautiful achondrite but I will 
offer some pieces here at a very collector firendly and reasonable price at 
$12 /gm. Ordinarily you get for this price only material of usual eucrites 
with a high Tkw. This meteorite is highly recommended, not only for the 
achondrite collectors. For collectors of unsusual meteorites is NWA 4392 a 
first choice.

At the bottom of the page I have listed also some slices of my new NWA 4397 
which is another eucrite very rich in metal. NWA 4397 does not seem to be 
paired with the NWA 4396. The color of the matrix and the crust is different 
than NWA 4396 and the metal content is clearly higher. It is definitively 
the eucrite richest in metal which I have ever seen. One can see a lot of 
small iron grains in the saw surfaces.
