Hello All, This is simply a piece of NWA 4759, to steal Carsten's NWA number. But, whereas he lists the TKW at seven hundred or so grams, there are really *at least* 10kg of material. The main mass (at least the largest stone that I saw) was about as big as my head. The rest of the stones that Mohammed had in Tucson were all together in a big burlap sack; I picked one out with a centimeter+ CAI sticking out of one side. It tends to be a greenish-grey, nicely sand-polished on the outside surface, with many light-coloured chondrules visible externally (not red or orange, as the interior, but white - unless you're dealing with a somewhat freshly broken surface; then the chondrules appear to be reddish). I bought mine as, well he was "100% sure" that it was, a CK - shame, but that fellow lost a customer for next year. In any case, it's beautiful material, and unpaired to the other NWA CV3's out there (it takes a nice polish as well...unusual for a CV3). It is, in my opinion, much prettier than any of the other NWA CV3's available, though that CR2...nice stuff, that. I am wondering - Matteo, what's that picture you sent - it's clearly not a CR, and looks more like a CO3, unless it's just an equilibrated H...I can't tell from such low resolution. Regards, Jason
