Hey John, or maybe the much more petrologically important link
between Lucé and L'Aigle ;-) ?

HIGHLIGHTS of auctions include many new and exciting rare meteorite
types
professionally presented with provenance:
NWA 6868 (5.3g Part Slice) Introducing a gorgeous Provisionally
classified
LL6 Breccia meteorite. Recrystallized, mostly poikiloblastic clasts
containing
rare relict chondrule fragments in a matrix of related debris. The
presence of
some recognizable RP chondrule fragments in NWA 6868 makes it a Type
6 -
otherwise it would be an LL metachondrite. The necessary precautions
were taken
while cutting to ensure you have a nice stable specimen, this slice
is polished
on one side with no unsightly saw marks.(

)
NWA 6284 (8.9g Part Slice) Introducing a new Officially classified L5
meteorite
with some distinct chondrules. Olivine (Fa24.7-25.1), orthopyroxene
(Fs20.4-21.2Wo4.2-1.9). clinopyroxene (Fs7.5-7.8Wo46.6-43.8), sodic
plagioclase,
chromite, altered kamacite and troilite.This is a beautiful specimen
from a very
fresh meteorite with a weathering level of only 1/2 and a very modest
Total
known weight of only 1021g This is a gorgeous part slice with wide
surface area
polished on both sides with some fusion crust along one of the edges.

/380378899755?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589059652b
)
NWA 6077 (1.32g Part Slice) Incredibly rare, Officially classified
Ungrouped
Achondrite similar to a Brachinite type meteorite. Many scientist
have
considered this to be one of the most significant finds in history.
To put in
perspective how important, this meteorite comes from a time when
Earth was a
primordial ball of molten rock. It may be the only surviving ancestor
of Earth
itself. The last time such a important discovery was made is when
anthropologist
found Lucy the missing link between Ape and Man. This is a beautiful
part slice
polished on both sides. This meteorite comes with special
documentation and
Oxygen isotope information which pairs this stone to the famous NWA
5400. (

NWA 6290 (3.11g End Cut) One of the newest Vestan
siblings.Introducing an
incredible, Officially classified Diogenite Breccia meteorite. Made
of Fresh
polymict breccia composed predominantly of distinctly “milky”
orthopyroxene
fragments and some polycrystalline clasts, with sparse pigeonite,
olivine
(bimodal in composition), calcic plagioclase, chromite, troilite and
Ni-poor
metal. Orthopyroxene (Fs22.9-24.9Wo1.0; FeO/MnO = 30.8-31.0),
pigeonite
(Fs28.1-29.1Wo13.4-7.0; FeO/MnO = 22/6-26.0), magnesian olivine
(Fa12.9-13.1;
FeO/MnO = 40.9-48.5), ferroan olivine (Fa31.0; FeO/MnO = 44.2). Most
of the
orthopyroxene is charged with microscopic inclusions of chromite and
troilite,
which render it pale tan-colored in thin section. The TKW of this
meteorite is
only 1000g and this is a excellent end cut displaying some really
nice
refractory crystals when exposed to light from different angles. (
