Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Special: New uncommon Martian meteorite - NWA6710 prov.
Hello Martin, Congrats on the NWA 6710 Martian! I am saddened to hear about the stolen NWA 5960 pairing. I only just heard about this today and here through your announcement. What was the weight of 5960? I heard who the stone was shipped to and who the Moroccan dealer is. If this is a clear-cut case of theft by the recipient, then that person's name should be made known to all dealers, collectors and police if possible. I do not know any details, you know more than I do and I am sure you are helping the Moroccan dealer who was ripped off either by the shipping company or the recipient. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated. I hope the thief, whoever it is, finds a conscience and sends the stone back to the rightful owner! In the possibility that it got lost in shipping by the carrier, lets hope the wayward package, with stone, finds its way to the recipient or back to the Moroccan owner!

Good Day meteorite and planetary lovers, Proudly we announce, that our next Martian has arrived, is sliced and grinded already and waits now for flying into your collection! NWA 6710 (provisional) will be its name and according the newer more systematic nomenclature it is a Intermediate Permafic Olivine-Phyric Shergottite. Already a first glance reveals, that NWA 6710 doesn’t meet the usual viewing habits for shergottites and that it must be in several aspects a fairly uncommon material. We see a matrix of very fresh appearance, which is so incredibly fine-grained that macroscopically it almost looks uniformly. Very sparsely we find a few patches of dark maskelynite, though the clou of this Martian is: Over and over it is peppered with fine olivines of an intensive pastel green! An amazing stone. The planetary connoisseur is immediately aware: there is only one such Martian – it has to be a pairing of NWA 2990. This grouplet consist of four members; NWA 2990, NWA 5960, NWA 6234 and now NWA 6710. NWA 2990 is long ago gone. NWA 5960 had a tragic fate, the main mass was stolen in mail (a fate, which makes us all angry as it happened by such a stupidity. Such a stone is absolutely unsalable for any thief and it is the rarest matter on the globe, almost irreplaceable. Please alert us or the owner immediately for the case, that such material will be offered to you). And NWA 6234 seems already to be sold out too. The characteristics of the entire stones were, that they are covered with a very green skin. Only NWA 2990 had one side with a good black fusion crust, while NWA 5960 and NWA 6234 were naked. Not so our new NWA 6710, it has some dark fusion crust left, but worn and not so fine preserved as with NWA 2990. Internally all stones are very fresh. NWA 6710 prov. has a tkw of 74 grams. Astonishingly few is published yet about the NWA 2990-group, we think, that will change now with the recent finds. So that we can refer you at the moment only to the introductory paper for NWA 2990 from two years ago, where you can find the essential details about this uncommon Mars rock: T. E. Bunch, A. J.

Hello Greg, yes it's very bad. Not only NWA 5960 went missing, had 124 grams, though in the same parcel a lunar NWA 2995-pairing of 118 grams went lost.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Special: New uncommon Martian meteorite - NWA6710 prov.
Wow, what a tragedy! I have had problems with UPS before and will never use them again for anything valuable. I had a half million dollar piece shipped to me with guaranteed early morning delivery. When it did not arrive at 9:00 AM, I called UPS and they did not have a clue to where it was. I did not get it until very late afternoon. Needless to say, I was stressed beyond belief all day. Even though the package was guaranteed to be here by 9:00 AM, UPS would not provide a refund, an apology or a reason for the great delay. In other words, they simply did not care. I hope you are able to recover the pieces. On another note, I will note accept a package that has been opened otherwise if something is missing, you are responsible.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Special: New uncommon Martian meteorite - NWA6710 prov.
Hi Adam, I concur about UPS. What can brown do for me - NOTHING. I'd burn a package before handing it to UPS. I've had major problems with them in the past.
