They've got a couple of other 'meteorites' available... the one from the
POD is out of the display box... the Zagami doesn't look like the other
slices I could find pictures of online... Of course it doesn't help that
there is no scale indicated.... There's also a slice of LA 002... The
only one that looks authentic to my very untrained eyes is the Campo...

There is a contact name/number listed on those pages...
Clear Skies!

Hi Kieron, All,
Looks to me like one of the Martian individuals going around that can be
purchased at a much lower price because it has not been put through its paces
and properly classified and paired with that number or all the other numbers I
have seen. The presentation looks really crude too...badly photoshopped label
and knifed hole.
I wonder what provenance has been checked buy the auctioneers?

Hello Folks,
Here is an interesting one - an NWA meteorite from the Mohave Desert!

A visit to Bonham's website confirmed that the name should read NWA 4857.
Even then I am a little confused - the stone being auction is described as
whole and fusion crusted, with a mass of 3.64g, but the MetSoc database
describes NWA 4857 as a single stone of 24g. Something doesn't add up.
Regards, Kieron
