Hi Stan, Dirk and List, First, I heard that Stan originally got about 70 kilos of the brown material before it was known to be paired and thought to be an EL6/7. So, congratulations to Stan for his mountain of "Rare" enstatite. Second, even if the TKW for pairings is "around" 1000kg, "EL3" Enstatites are still "Very Rare". I don't get what the big deal is?? What is the "Officially" declared, and in the bulletin, TKW for NWA 2965?
