[meteorite-list] EL6/7 meteorite loaded on eBay for onecent.4.779 kilograms.

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Stan, Dirk and List,

First, I heard that Stan originally got about 70 kilos of the brown material 
before it was known to be paired and thought to be an EL6/7. So, 
congratulations to Stan for his mountain of "Rare" enstatite. Second, even 
if the TKW for pairings is "around" 1000kg, "EL3" Enstatites are still "Very 
Rare". I don't get what the big deal is?? What is the "Officially" declared, 
and in the bulletin, TKW for NWA 2965?

Best regards,
Greg
