Dear Collectors, Chladnis Heirs decided to herald the new year with a beat of the drum in making a representative of an established type for the first time available to the collector: NWA 4765 The first CM1 outside of Antarctica.
A glance into the Bulletin Database teaches us, that so far 12 tiny stones, some of them paired, were found in Antarctica with a combined tkw of a mere 105grams. We are well aware of the importance of the new find, especially for the type-collectors, who wished for years to fill the gap left of Murchison in their showcases, Alas, here the dilemma starts: Like the Antarctic CM1, NWA 4765 was a small, fresh stone of only 19grams and by far we wont be able to comply with all requests. Find the few available specimens and the detailed description on our Special page. Prices for slices are 1250$/g. http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa5037-nwa4765.html For the unlikely case, that the main mass wont be sold, exists the possibility, that we could slice it up and will retrieve a few more slices. Therefore, if you find the other slices already sold out, let us immediately know, whether you want to apply for another specimen. The second part of our special is perhaps not so sensational as the first, but nevertheless isnt half bad: NWA 5037 A new and fresh CM2. Spoiled from the good availability of Murchison, were surprised, how stingy the hot deserts are in bringing forward CM2 to the collectorship: If we let Dho 735 as metamorphosed CM aside, there were in the recent decade not more than 7 CM2s recovered in the hot deserts with a total weight of slightly below 2kgs, whereof only Acfer 331 is at present available without difficulties. NWA 5037 is with a weathering degree of W0/1 a wonderfully fresh meteorite, the 3 fragments of that find displayed partially still some fusion crust. As you can see, it is a CM2 of a very classic habit, an exemplary representative of his class and at that price certainly a tempting addition for your collection. Also here the supply is limited, weighed the stones not more than 65 grams. In our special are presented all available specimens: http://www.chladnis-heirs.com/special-nwa5037-nwa4765.html Priced at 60-65$/gram (to serve you best, please tell 2 alterative slices with your order, for the case, the desired specimen will have already gone). Now we wish you a peace- and successful 2008 !
