Hello All! I would like to confirm Michael's statement, confirm, ...especially regarding the price per gram he is asking. I bought a 2.41-gram slice from the previous owner(s) of this achondrite when it was still assumed it might be an H7 (!) chondrite and I paid $125 - this is about 52 dollars per gram. In other words, $7 per gram is an extremely generous offer for an extremely interesting achondrite! It's *not* an H chondrite even though it has H chondrite affinities. It's not a brachinite even though it contains about 70% olivine. So, what is it? Go, get one and look at it!
