G'day Stefan / List,
Exactly right Stefan! It really is quite simple.
If NWA xyz has been classified as a Jupiterite and has a TKW of 200g then
that is that. Period!!! If a seller/collector thinks that another stone has come
from the same spot and is paired, what right do they have to say it is NWA
xyz. No matter how experienced they might be, if they're not qualified then
they should say something along the lines of "This stone is possibly paired
with NWA xyz" or have their own authorised analysis done. And for anyone
thinking " Yeah, but..."; stop right there!!! Another list member
has mentioned that not long ago several lunar
stones were found in the same strewnfield in Dhofar. Recent
analysis has shown they belong to at least two sperate falls. If the finder
had not been as diligent as they were, the meteorites would likely have
just been sold as the same thing!
Plain & Simple,

Enough, Now NWA 1877
Dear Marcin and List,
if "NWA4000" has a total known
weight of 200 g, it would be a little
strange, if somebody offers 500 g of
"NWA4000" for sale. In my opinion the
correct way would be that the seller
offers the material as"possibly paired
with NWA4000" and provides a thin
section of the possibly paired material
for an examination. Otherwise every
collector could classify his meteorites
and sell it as NWAxyz. The statemet
"It looks just the same" wouldn't be
enough for me as a buyer. Particulary
at high-priced meteorites.
As a dealer I will have all possibly paired
stones of NWA- rare types
examined in future by a seperate thin section and
I will have the Tkw
corrected in the MetBull, if I get paired stones. This
seems to me to be a
good solution at the moment. I think, if a collector
buys a slice of a
high-priced meteorite, he has a right to know the exact
informations about
the specimen.
Best
regards,
Stefan
