Hi to all, I am happy to announce that NWA 6291 is an awesome and very rare angrite.
I have several very nice slices for sale including one of the 4 translucent slices. After extensive research, I have not been able to come across any angrite that has offered translucent crystals and slices like you would find in a pallasite other then this one. This is likely paired with NWA 2999, but due to its unique appearance, it stands above and beyond 2999 and any of its pairings enough to raise the question of if it was actually paired or not. NWA 2999 and its pairings are also unique to the angrite class, which makes this one even more special! Then there is the possible Mercury connection... how cool is it that this material is thought to be ejecta from the planet Mercury? You can see some of the material available for sale here: http://www.wanderingstarmeteorites.com/Angrite_Meteorites.php I also have a very limited amount of thin sections that are very generous is size. Rather then offer a small limited sample for section, I choose to get nice portions that showed the incredible nature of this material at its best. Samples for sale are from micros up to the 44 gram main mass. Contact me for price and more photos - I am still offering a discount for research use.
