Hello Mike,
I am the lucky owner of 2 such pieces of NWA 1933, thus an end section of about 13 g (acquired in May 2003 at a mineral show, at a time when the meteorite was not yet classified) and a full slice of 20.5 g acquired 5 months later, elsewhere.
Both are indeed so stunning and I have never seen such a beautiful chondrule pattern (perhaps comparable to Sahara 98175 (LL3.5, S4, W1) while perhaps only Ragland or (especially) Krymka may present a more stunning pattern).
My price for the end section was about 17euro/gram and for the slice 15 euro/gram (friendly prices) and I believe they are fully worth it (subjective personal evaluation).
The lucky winner of your slice got it for a barguain!
By the way, is NWA 1933 an LL3.0 or is the second digit so far unknown (undetermined) ?
Happy hunting,
Zelimir

How about these chondrules? What do the list members think? Aren't these things of sheer beauty.
