Graham,
EXACTLY my thoughts!

Great to see this happen. Just love it when exciting new meteorite displays emerge and collaborations between museums, the scientific community and the general meteorite community work out. NWA 5000 is still the most beautiful lunar in my opinion even though in the last couple of years a large number of others have been found...I think you have a few of them Darryl ;-) Which brings me to the Kalahari 009 mass which has always intrigued me. Does anyone know more detail about the story behind this meteorite...I would love to know more, or see photos details etc...and I'm sure many more in our community would too.

First, 'Kalahari "Anything Lunar-Related" has NEVER been physically and/or photographically proven to be valid! Secondly as you, (as a Professional 'World-Wide' Meteorite Dealer & Motivator) states, "[{Questionable lunar rock (Darryl's mention}]... recent lunar fits together as a jigsaw which is more than twice as massive [as NWA 5000]" MARKETING ~ On Your Part... We've only presented a "PUBLIC DISPLAY" of NORTHWEST AFRICA 5000 (NWA 5000) of something I've been able to share without the Greed of ManKIND. My pursuit of this project was to draw 'ManKIND' back together with my team.... NOTHING IS FOR {SALE}........ Thank you for taking a 'couple seconds' to 'Consider Your Thoughts' by my sharing a wonderful moment to 'Those Who Deserve It' !!!

Hi, While this is great — many congratulations! — the exhibit headline incorrectly states that NWA 5000 is "The World's Largest Lunar Meteorite." In the exhibit description it states that NWA 5000 is the largest lunar meteorite ever discovered. Despite being uber-cool, NWA 5000 never held this distinction. Discovered nearly a decade earlier, the Kalahari 009 mass is significantly larger. In addition, there is a recent lunar which fits together as a jigsaw which is more than twice as massive (which Tony analyzed many months ago). Still...very nice. All the best / Darryl On Jun 6, 2016, at 8:35 PM, Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com <mailto:meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> > wrote: Dear Meteorite Community, I would like to personally "Thank" everyone for the wonderful public and private compliments and congratulations for the successful launch of the NWA 5000 display in the Peabody Museum at Yale University. Without the vision, support and encouragement from two very key participants this public display would never have been realized. I would like to draw attention to Dr. Tony Irving for the 'Vision, Encouragement and Friendship', who made this all happen. His unwavering friendship, devotion to meteoritics and continued help will always be cherished by me. He introduced me to Dr. Stefan Nicolescu of Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History who has fast become a dear friend as well. Stefan's open-minded and artistic demeanor combined the Babylonian clay tablet, 'Velocity of the Moon', and lunar meteorite NWA 5000 into a single display after a couple of our visits throughout the Yale campus. This enabled the display to combine the 'Human Element' with a material object from our Earth's Moon! The collaboration between Tony and Stefan was crucial in ensuring that 'The Display' has become a reality for all the world to share! Once again, I would like to 'Thank' both Tony and Stefan!!

Dear Meteorite Friends, I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of a very special display in the Peabody Museum at Yale University! My loan of the main mass of lunar meteorite Northwest Africa 5000 (NWA 5000), combined with an ancient clay tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection (MLC 1880 - 'Velocity of the Moon'), is sure to amaze and thrill the public throughout the year. In addition to these authentic specimens, there is a full size painted replica of NWA 5000 to compliment the display and offer a glimpse of what the uncut mass looked like before sharing samples with the world. I would like to thank everyone involved who helped make this special occasion possible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm from these professionals I would not have been able to share such a marvel of nature! The display is scheduled to run through November 30, 2016. Please share in my excitement by viewing a few images I present here: NWA 5000 display with Babylonian clay tablet 'Velocity of the Moon': http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/NWA5000/NWA5000-PeabodyMuseum1.jpg NWA 5000 Main Mass: http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/NWA5000/NWA5000-PeabodyMuseum2.jpg Babylonian clay tablet 'Velocity of the Moon': http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/NWA5000/NWA5000-PeabodyMuseum3.jpg NWA 5000 replica (actual size before cutting of mass): http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/NWA5000/NWA5000-PeabodyMuseum4.jpg Best Regards, Greg ==================== Greg Hupe The Hupe Collection gmh...@centurylink.net <mailto:gmh...@centurylink.net> www.NaturesVault.net <http://www.NaturesVault.net> (Online Catalog & Reference Site) www.LunarRock.com <http://www.LunarRock.com> (Online Planetary Meteorite Site) NaturesVault (Facebook, Pinterest & eBay) http://www.facebook.com/NaturesVault http://pinterest.com/NaturesVault IMCA 3163 ==================== Click here for my current eBay auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZnaturesvault ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com <mailto:Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com <mailto:Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com <mailto:Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
