[meteorite-list] AD: New L6 Chondrite for Sale

[Matthew Martin]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to introduce you to a brand new stone--NWA 6160  
(Provisional).  It's a beautiful L6 chondrite (W1/2, S2) which would  
make a handsome addition to any collection, large or small.  Many  
easily affordable pieces are available, but with a TKW of only 333g,  
there's not much of this to go around...only a few dozen pieces and  
that's it!

I submitted it for analysis due to it's unusual aromatic perfume like  
odor, but the analysis did not provide any clues to the origins of the  
odor.  I was told, however that it does have trace amounts of native  
copper.

The analysis report from Dr. Irving at the University of Washington is  
as follows:

Largely recrystallized with some indistinct chondrules.  Olivine  
(Fa24.2-24.6), orthopyroxene (Fs20.9-21.3Wo1.8-1.7), sparse  
clinopyroxene, sodic plagioclase, chromite, kamacite and troilite.
