Hello All who love Aubrites,
NWA 4799 - The first TRUE Aubrite from Northwest Africa. Even though I have
previously announced NWA 4799, here are some great photos of this beauty:

Subject: [meteorite-list] Not an Aubrite
This is ridiculous:
http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ160205758255
Obviously not an Aubrite as advertised. Not even Murchison (looks like
CV3). And what is 'Space Research Corporation?' The only info I can find
is of a notorious arms smuggling company. I emailed the seller and told
him that it is not an aubrite and that he would be ripping off some poor
new meteorite collector if it sells. The seller doesn't believe me because
he has a 'COA' and claims that he has received dozens of offers to end his
auction early for $400. Come on! Scam... By the way... COA is usually an
acronym for: FAKE.
Bored and waiting for my plane,
Mike
