Hi John and List, As I stated in my auction, the nomenclature is provisional. I do not have an image of the whole stone but I do have a receipt stating the weight of 77 grams. As I mentioned in my auction, this weight was attributed to NWA 2989 only and not any other pairings. It was also mentioned to the List that I believed it to be paired to NWA 2656 which has an official weight of 386 grams. If somebody claimed a false weight on NWA 2656 that is not my problem. I got a good deal on the complete stone so I released my material at a reasonable price. If somebody is complaining about paying $40.00/50.00 a gram for this beauty when others are selling it at 10 times this amount then there truly is a problem regardless of how much weight is out there. I reported what I had correctly. I cannot keep track of other pairings and nobody else can either. You made this argument when we were talking about what constitutes a main mass. If others knew there was more weight and the other pieces came from a single large stone then they should have reported it.
