Hello Bernd, Dave, Steve and all,
I couldn't have said it any better than Bernd and Dave, but I can say there
are only a limited number of specimens on eBay. Once they are gone, that is
it!
Best regards,
Greg

.. thru my loupe,I noticed there are very small metal flecks
.. I thought carbonaceous chondrites had no metal in them.
Is this the correct class?Or am I missing something here?

As I recall, it's not uncommon for COs to have clearly visible,
small inclusions of free metal that appear like tiny flakes.
NORTON O.R. (1998) Rocks From Space II, p.195:
"The average CO chondrite contains about 6% by weight of metal."
Acfer 332 - CO3 - rare metal grains
Acfer 333 - CO3 - rare metal grains
My Ornans (CO3.4) 1-gram slice also shows minor traces of metal
but, on the whole, nickel-iron is a rare component of CO chondrites!
Best wishes,
Bernd
