[meteorite-list] New Barwell acquisition

[John Cabassi]

G'Day Martin
I concur with everyone's comments. You are the man. Congratulations!
It took me a long time to acquire a nano speck, only because one of my
best friends is from Barwell and I wanted something in my collection
to represent him. You just took it to a new level.

Cheers
John
