[meteorite-list] holy grail of martian meteorites

[Greg Hupe]

Hello Steve and List,

I would have to say NWA 4468 Primitive Shergottite would be my own personal 
"Holy Grail" of Martian meteorites, not only because it is so fresh and 
beautiful, but because of the pure hell I had to go through to retrieve it 
from Western Sahara. You can read the story in the November 2006 issue of 
Meteorite Magazine, image on the cover as well :-)
