Hello Mike and List,

Might indeed be something like the Hupés' NWA 969 ... the one nicknamed
"Bottled Water" because silicate minerals were identified that "contained
trains of fluid inclusions". If so, it's an LL6/7!

Hope that helps (a little bit),

Bernd

P.S.: The TKW of NWA 969 is 463 gr but there is a typo in the online Met.Bull.
where the TKW is given as 44 grams. But the "breakdown" lists the correct weight!
