Hi Mike,
I am glad you asked for images of the Northwest Africa 5000 complete slices,
here are a few to get you started and I can share more as time allows...
http://www.naturesvault.net/meteorites/nwa5000.html
The sequence of slices liberated from the original 11.528 kilo mass start
with CS1 (the 'Ambassador' slice), then CS2, CS3, and so forth to CS6. The
slice on today's Meteorite Picture of the Day is CS3. Side 'b' of each slice
goes deeper into the mass and the surface area of the slices become even
larger than the previous slice.
The 483.89 gram 'Mona Lisa of Moon Rocks' slice will start its world tour at
the 2013 Ensisheim Show this Friday and continue on to the Sainte Marie aux
Mines show if it is still available. I will also be bringing a selection of
smaller slices that are gorgeous!
If you are going to the Ensisheim Show, or are still contemplating it, this
complete slice of NWA 5000 looks incredibly better in person as attempts to
capture its beauty by mere photos are very difficult.
I hope to see you all there!
Best Regards,
Greg

Hi Adam,
I think I speak for many on the List when I say this :
PHOTOS! And LOTS of them. Every angle. High-res. Close-ups of
interesting clasts. Inquiring minds wanna see eye candy. :)
Best regards,
MikeG

A big congratulations should go out to Marlin Cilz who prepared five new
NWA
5000 complete slices. He broke a world record which I previously held for
5-1/2 years for preparing the single complete slice known as the
"Ambassador." I never disclosed the record while I held it but it is for
producing the world's largest Moon rock slice. It is doubtful that
anybody
will break Marlin's new record anytime soon,
The record.is:
NWA 5000 Complete Slice:
1,116.78 grams - 238mm X 218mm X 14mm
My brother, Greg and I would have never had Marlin produce a slice this
big
hadn't it been for a custom order.
Marlin did a world class job of preparing these slices and I wanted to
thank
him publicly.
