I do agree that the weight is very important and is why I cannot figure out why it was simply estimated or rounded off on a stone as important as Kalahari 009.

Kalahari 009 may very well be the heaviest lunar meteorite ever found but this has not been proven.  Regardless NWA 500 is still a world record holder in regards to the Largest highlands piece ever discovered and more than likely the largest by size ever found.
