NWA 6819 Achondrite Olivine-Diogenite Meteorite - G086-0021 - 0.12g

Description: Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing a super rare cutting fragment specimen of NWA 6819 Achondrite Olivine-Diogenite Meteorite from Morocco. The main specimen is quite friable and has very large crystals inside and out, but mostly soft matrix. This was one of my early classifications at UCLA and my second Olivine-Diogenite classification ever, NWA 5652 was my first, it's even more rare than this one. Excellent addition to your collection. THE 300 CLUB IS A NEW CATEGORY I HAVE MADE. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION LAST YEAR THAT A LOT OF MY CLASSIFICATIONS, ESPECIALLY THE OLDER ONES FROM 2006 AND ON, WON'T EVER HIT 300 IN SPECIMENS MADE AVAILABLE. I WILL BE STARTING AT MY FIRST CLASSIFICATIONS AND GOING THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE THIS YEAR AND FIGURING OUT HOW MANY WILL MAKE IT TO THE 300 CLUB AND HOW MANY WILL KEEP GOING BEYOND THAT. A LOT OF THIS DEPENDS ON THE ORIGINAL WEIGHT CLASSIFIED IN THE BEGINNING, MAKING THEM MUCH MORE RARE AND VERY LOW NUMBERS. SOME SPECIMENS WILL BARELY MAKE IT TO THE 100 CLUB. I HAD NO IDEA YEARS AGO THAT I WOULD DO THE TUCSON AND DENVER SHOWS FOR 10 YEARS AND THEN BIG UNIVERISITIES WOULD GOBBLE UP LARGE SPECIMENS MAKING MY WEIGHTS GO DOWN VERY FAST WITH SOME OF THESE CLASSIFICATIONS. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SECTION, WHEN THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE. ALL SPECIMENS COA'S WILL BE MARKED 021 OF 300 ETC FROM HERE ON OUT ALSO. THE ORIGINAL CARDS WITHOUT THAT STATEMENT I WOULD ASSUME WILL BECOME MORE COLLECTIBLE. METEORITES ARE ALL ABOUT COLLECTIBILITY AND PROVENANCE AND I'M A RECORD KEEPING FOOL OF MY COLLECTION. I'VE CREATED A LIBRARY TO MY LEFT, LOL. CHEERS! DATA: THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN 120 SPECIMENS SOLD TO DATE OF NWA 6819. ALL SPECIMENS WILL BE MUCH SMALLER IN SIZE DUE TO THE WEIGHT LEFT AVAILABLE. I WILL RETIRE THIS NWA NUMBER AT 300 IN MY BOOK OF PROVENANCE. I HAVE QUITE A FEW ORIGINAL COA'S LEFT SO AFTER THOSE RUN OUT I WILL REDESIGN A NEW CARD MENTIONING THE 300 SPECIMENS WAY OF DOING THINGS NOW, LOL. THANK YOU. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO DIGEST??? LOL. My catalog number is G086-0021 and weighs in at 0.12 grams and comes with my card of authenticity for provenance. Remember, provenance is a must when collecting meteorites. I have designed a COA for NWA 6819, as with all of my classified material. The specimen you see is the exact specimen you are purchasing. Each card comes with catalog number, weight and my signature of authenticity. Thanks again for viewing. Cheers!
