[meteorite-list] AD-New CM2 and ebay auctions

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha listoids,

I'd like to announce a new CM2 carbonaceous chondrite, recently classified as NWA 6720, with a shock stage of S1 and weathering grade of W1/2.  A single very fresh 6.5g fusion crusted stone was found in North West Africa in 2011, and purchased out of Erfoud, Morocco in February 8, 2011. The stone was cut on a wire saw by Montana Meteorite Laboratory, and a sample submitted to Dr Tony Irving for analysis toward classification. This meteorite is one of only 5 CM chondrites and only 4 CM2s from Northwest Africa, and with a total known weight of only 6.5g, there is very little available to collectors.  You can find my offerings on my website:  http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/NWA6720.html
