Hi list,  I put up on eBay item #  260151677100 a 2.5 Kg lot of NWA 2965 
started at $165, about 6.6 cents gr.   I am hoping it will sell for a little more 
than 6 cents!  Three days left  and no bids yet.  You can be sure this is a 
great buy.  When the  material was still being examined and was still being 
called an EL7, I had a  large quantity and was cutting/polishing quite a bit.  I 
sent to Ted Bunch  (NAU) things that looked interesting or unusual, 
particularly the large  chondrules.  I guarantee 100% this material is what I say it is.

It  seems the quantity is a lot more than any one first guessed.  The strewn  
field has been suggested to be 40 KM long.  However much there is, it is  
still an Enstatite!   

The mix I am selling is part of the  earlier individuals found on the 
surface.  They were buried for a long long  time but at least they have developed a 
cool individual "Look" which is better  looking than the material that has been 
freshly dug up (at least to me).   Most of the this meteorite is coming from 
what is being dug up.

I'm just  passing along an ad and the information I have.  Please correct me 
if you  know of circumstances different than what I am saying.  And please 
look at  some of the cool micrographs I have on my Meteorite Times Gallery of NWA 
 2965.
