It costs 1800 $. Seller is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I don't have any interest in that company!). It can easily discriminate between LL and L , L and H or even eucrite and howardite, for example. I can provide oflist as an attachment a leaflet for this device as well as a chart of magnetic susceptibility versus meteorite class. I will probably be in next Ensisheim show, in particular to demonstrate this instrument.
