Dear list members,

p.p. of Chladni's Heirs' desert specialist Stefan Ralew,
I announce one of his well-tried specials to be online.

This time thin slices of two new eucrites are available:

www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-eucrite.html


NWA 4391 (provisional)
A classical polymict eucrite - fresh and inexpensive.


And the very unorthodox 

NWA 4484 (provisional)

To quote an authoritative voice:
"... is a nice
basaltic eucrite (unlike any other that I have seen) with multiple thin
Ca-rich plagioclase laths ophitically associated with zoned pyroxene grains
(patchily intergrown orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene with FeO/MnO ratios of
32-33 - right in the range for Vesta samples)."

Some of you will remember the slices from our booth in Munich,
Thin, with fusion crust and of almost bluish tint,
certainly a MUST for any serious HED-collector.
Seen the uniqueness of this material, the price we set in this special is a
bargain for sure.

Due to my technical unhandiness, I won't be able to mark the slices gone as
"sold" on this webpage, so don't rely to long in them being available and
better order yours as soon as possible.

Thanks for your attention!

Stefan Ralew, Andreas Gren, Martin Altmann
Chladni's Heirs
