"It may be the only surviving ancestor of Earth itself. The last time 
such a important discovery was made is when anthropologist found Lucy 
the missing link between Ape and Man."

Hey John, or maybe the much more petrologically important link between 
Lucé and L'Aigle ;-) ?

Kindest wishes
Doug

NWA 6868 (5.3g Part Slice)  Introducing a gorgeous Provisionally 
classified
LL6 Breccia meteorite. Recrystallized, mostly poikiloblastic clasts 
containing
rare relict chondrule fragments in a matrix of related debris. The 
presence of
some recognizable RP chondrule fragments in NWA 6868 makes it a Type 6 
-
otherwise it would be an LL metachondrite. The necessary precautions 
were taken
while cutting to ensure you have a nice stable specimen, this 
slice is polished
on one side with no unsightly saw marks.(

meteorite

(Fs20.4-21.2Wo4.2-1.9). clinopyroxene (Fs7.5-7.8Wo46.6-43.8), sodic

/380378899755?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589059652b
)

NWA 6077 (1.32g Part Slice) Incredibly rare, Officially classified 
Ungrouped
Achondrite similar to a Brachinite type meteorite. Many scientist have
considered this to be one of the most significant finds in history. To 
put in
perspective how important, this meteorite comes from a time when Earth 
was a
primordial ball of molten rock. It may be the only surviving ancestor 
of Earth
itself. The last time such a important discovery was made is when 
anthropologist
found Lucy the missing link between Ape and Man. This is a beautiful 
part slice
polished on both sides. This meteorite comes with special documentation 
and
Oxygen isotope information which pairs this stone to the famous NWA 
5400. (

olivine
(bimodal in composition), calcic plagioclase, chromite, troilite and 
Ni-poor
metal.  Orthopyroxene (Fs22.9-24.9Wo1.0; FeO/MnO = 30.8-31.0), 
pigeonite
(Fs28.1-29.1Wo13.4-7.0; FeO/MnO = 22/6-26.0), magnesian olivine

troilite,
which render it pale tan-colored in thin section. The TKW of this 
meteorite is
only 1000g and this is a excellent end cut displaying some really nice
refractory crystals when exposed to light from different angles. (
