Just to set the record straight, there is another pairing to NWA 011 which
is MUCH more reasonably priced.
NWA 2976. Main mass sold. Sales in Tucson were brisk, to say the least.
ALL that I have is on the link below for your viewing pleasure. Mike Farmer
has a very few pieces left but I do not believe that he has photos posted on
his website yet, not sure about that as I have not looked. It is a VERY
pretty meteorite:

Dear Adam,
You don't suppose this price for a NWA 011 pairing might have anything to
do with you, do you? After all, it was you who interfered in a deal
between myself, Al Lang, and Serge Afanisiev that I had researched for two
years prior to Tucson 2003 and arranged for Al to make a deal for the
filings that Serge said he had available. This was all long before you
took up your short-lived "partnership" with Al. I'm sure you have a
different take on things, but I will always feel that you turned around
and bought the NWA 011 filings out from under Al, not letting him complete
the deal in his intelligent way with his longtime friend.
Then you sold the material at auction, and thereafter, for several hundred
dollars per MILLIGRAM. Gee, thanks for making sure the price of this
material stays reasonable for us collectors. In my opinion you have no
right to complain about the high pricing of this material, and you should
be proud of yourself that the paired find NWA 2400 was also being offered
at $3000/g by Terry Boswell and his "partner in crime" Ron Farrell.
Perhaps this new pairing will also be consistent with the high prices that
YOU initiated. Thanks again. You should have stayed out of this deal of
mine and Al Lang's and most likely we wouldn't be seeing these exorbitant
prices for this unique basaltic eucrite-like meteorite. Hey, and thanks
for the free milligram of NWA 011 you gave me rather than, say, 4
milligrams... after all, it was MY initiation (with due credit to Norbert
Classen who helped in the search for this material).
Okay, I'm over it. Have a great day Adam.
Love,
David
