Stan, thanx for sharing pictures of those awesome oriented meteorites. they are remarkable in their own way. your purchasing of the last two is fortunate indeed. oriented lunar gabbros, and 6 kilo oriented urelites are very rare, to say the least. I hope you are able to get them numbered and classified by a lab.
congratulations!!!!!
