This is confusing to me too; NWA 1139 MAIN MASS Meteorite has a nice dark matrix with lots of metal flakes. One stone with a total weight of only 61.6 grams and the complete uncut mass, otherwise known as the Main Mass or the Complete Mass. How do you know what the matrix is like if this is an

Any chance we can return to our collective (but unbinding) agreement to keep the ebay complaints on the meteoritecollector's list? One good reason is, most of the readers here are getting very good at spoting the meteorwrongs. Another reason is this is now so common place-non IMCA or Metlist
