IMHO much more - if you bought nwa 725 as an acapulcoite you won the lottery as there is much less winonaite avalible to the collecting public - than there is acapulcoite - and this is doubly true for fresh winonaite material like the 725 and paired 725 material. Whereas for the acapulcoites there is plenty of nwa 125 and the 2656 / paired 2656 material floating around

FWIW there has been no official change int he classification, this has been the result of some sluething between David and myself - mostly myself if anyone wants to lay blaime for a change in status :)

Hi Stan & list,

I was wondering if changing the classification of NWA 725 from Acapulcoite makes it worth more or less per gram?



NWA 725 is likely to actually be a winonaite. I had Open University do
O isotope on some paired material and it plots right on top of nwa  1463
