Interesting...
I didn't know there was a lunar world record slice contest. I mean 1,116.78
grams - 238mm X 218mm X 14mm of NWA 5000 would
be nice to have. But there are many other meteorite slices or whole slices
that make the 1,116.78 look like token.
Also its seem this record is for

We are talking about a Moon rock here and yes, there are official world records
involved.
1,116.78 grams, a token? What planet are you from?
Dislodged pieces of the Moon are the most coveted of all according to the
Smithsonian. Most Americans consider the NASA Apollo collection of Moon

Woah, rude and condescending. I don't think I've ever told anyone
that a public list post 'wasn't their business.'
Anyway, I'd like to point out the following:
1) Since you're claiming a record based on the difference between the
two (a slice versus a slab), a formal definition must be made.
Hello Everyone!
It is my pleasure to announce the availability of some of the World's
largest lunar meteorite slices and the new main mass of Northwest Africa

Adam and I had one of the very best meteorite cutters out

I hate to break this news.
I have a slab of Al-Haggounia that measures 6-feet by 14-feet in
overall dimensions and is 9 inches thick at it's thickest point. It
weighs 900 pounds. I am currently using it as a patio deck outside my
apartment.
These paltry lunar thumbnails pale in comparison.
Some things to consider about world records,
Diamonds, which are millions of time less rare than Moon rocks here on Earth
have similar records since they are sometimes prepared. There are raw weight
records and finished cut weight weight records for diamonds. Then the record
books go as far
The Apollo rocks are not meteorites, so perhaps the new NWA 5000 slices are the
largest lunar meteorite slices to date.

Hello All,
I hate to rain on the parade, but I'd do some research before making
'record-breaking' claims.
in the above article, if nothing else.
Lets not cloud the issue here with facts. We have to keep these nonsense
arguments going
full steam ahead.That's what meteorite list was intended for is all about %95
of the time.
