"that meteorite is one of the most eye-appealing and beautiful stones of all
in our opinion! And we are sure, that many collectors, who already own a
specimen from the pairing-group will fully agree.

I am one of those collectors and I fully agree with each and every word!
I purchased a 0.914-gram slice of NWA 4587 from Greg Hupé about a
year ago and it looks terrific under a microscope - not to mention a look
at a thin section in cross-polarized light!

"We decided to set up for sale a couple of budget-
sized slices and priced them at a irresistible 180$/g.

Yes, the price is "irresistable". I paid $225+shipping for my beautiful slice
of NWA 4587. If I didn't already have this exotic beauty in my collection,
my favorite piece would be the specimen weighing 3.319 g. Just look at that
gorgeous black "spot" in the lower left part of that specimen! Chromite or
ilmenite, I suppose!

Cheers,

Bernd
