This one confuses me. How can a "freebie" be a "freebie" if you have to
buy it? Do you mean that the two NWA specimens are $50.00 plus $4.00

still doesn't make it a freebie.

I agree with Adam on this one. Technically, anyone with material that is
claimed to pair with any of the four different NWA numbers listed could
pick anyone of the four numbers. Is it possible that it would be in the

Looks like magnetite to me. Notice there is no rust on the examples shown
