[meteorite-list] The emperor of angrites-AD

[Greg Catterton]

Competition steps up! Time for collectors to benefit of some friendly competitiveness.

Ok.. How about this... Today only, non translucent samples of the NWA 6291 angrite for met list members $100 per gram. 

Thats 4 grams of a unique angrite for the price of one gram of D'Orbigny... 

Thats a wow moment, thats even less then ebay prices at auction! 

Will any of you match that price on your angrites?
