Dear List Members:
Several collectors expressed an interest in pieces of
the Rosetta Stone. I finally got around to cutting
this world class lunaite making for more affordable
slices. The end-cut yielded eight pieces, all
beautiful as can be seen in the link below:
Dhofar 908 Very Rare
Dear friends,
we have to announce our newly classified Martian meteorites to the
collector's delight as they belong to the most aesthetic and freshest
shergottites, which ever were made available: NWA 4766 (provisional)
Several stones were acquired in 2007 with a total weight of 225 grams.

Dear List Members,
Here is a rare and unique opportunity, a once in a blue moon
opportunity for anyone and everyone who has always wanted to own a truly
spectacular and rare example of a fresh basaltic shergottite. Most people
just cannot afford a decent sized specimen of any Martian

For many years that expression was used for NWA 99555:
A very important new paper on our angrite SAH99555 (Sahara 99555, a
2710g single stone with black fusion crust found by our team in May
1999) was published in the last issue of the scientific journal
Hi Peter and List,
I am going with what Norbert Classen had to say about
this being the Rosetta Stone. I believe he is the
one who coined the term for this single stone. As far
as I know, it is the only stone in the Dhofar series
that has two lithologies possible tying two pairing
sets together.
Thank you FYI, Adam!

Can you or anyone else on this list explain the above sentence? Which
pairing sets are you talking about?
What kind of lithologies are these? Are there picts that show the
phenomenon?
Does this mean
Peter,
Here is a link to Norbert's specimen of Dho 908. It does have two
obviously distinct lithologies, but I would also like to know the
details of the Rosetta Stone name.

Hi Peter, Adam, and All,
Adam is correct: I used this term to describe the 81g main mass of lunar
meteorite Dhofar 908 since March 2003 for its three distinct lithologies
which linked the various finds Dhofar 302, 303, 305, 306, 307, 309, 310,
311, 730, 731, and 489 together - most of them

Dear list members.
Every meteorite is special.
For me is better to call meteorite with his official name even if this is
ugly NWA 999 name, than create some unreal marketing names that have
nothing to do with meteorites. I see only one reason for this, better sales
becouse of better name.

Hi Marcin,
I don't think Norbert was considering marketing when
he coined the term Rosetta Stone to discuss this
meteorite. What the hay? It seems to be working as the
pieces are selling fast. The two largest slices have
been spoken for.

Dear Marcin,
I didn't use that term for marketing reasons, and it is not a synonym for
Dhofar 908 in general but I just used it for the 81g main mass of Dhofar
908, displaying three distinct lithologies linking previous finds together.
That's why I called it a Rosetta stone. Back in 2003

Dear List Members. I have made a classic error in using the numbers NWA
2975 and NWA 2986 to describe the stones I am selling. I have no right to
use these numbers as they are owned by two well known and respected
meteorite dealers. I can say that the meteorites that I am selling are
