Wow Stefan!!!!!!!,
Unbeveivable beautiful piece.
I'm sure that's your personal Martian grail by far.

Hello all,
Funny enough, Wolfram von Eschenbach writes in his "Parzival" that the
grail is a stone!
Well, we'd say, if one wants to follow the conception of those grail
epics, the grail of the Martian meteorites should be either an
unobtainable
(especially deliberately unaccessible) or a true wonder.
For the first case, certainly ALH 84001 is the grail,
for the second, and finally for the collector's world not so depressing,
as it is accessible,
is our personal martian grail, the in all aspects fantastic main mass of
NWA 4766:

Due to its shape, like a solifidication from a painting from Picasso, we
call it
the GUERNICA STONE.
Best!
Martin & Stefan

Michael....... ALH84001 has certainly caused a lot of discussion over
the years. Proof that life once existed on Mars, yes or no ? I would
like to inform you that NWA 998 is described as containing ankeritic
carbonates. One other meteorite has been described in this manner -----
ALH84001
ALH84001 is not available to private collectors but NWA 998 is:

Hi Steve,
This question can only be properly answered by addressing
It at several levels:
In theory, one that PROVES life on Mars does or did exist.
Of those known to exist, ALH84001 would, of course, be the "Holy
Grail" of the known Martians.
Of those that are (at least theoretically) available, Chassigny is,
By far, the rarest, making it the "Holy Grail" of available Martians.
Hope that clears it up, Steve.
Best wishes, Michael
