NWA 7981 Official LL3.5 Type 3 Chondrite Meteorite - G416-0005

Description: Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing a very rare part slice specimen of NWA 7981 Official LL3.5-W2 Type 3 Chondrite Meteorite from Morocco. LL3.5 are super rare to come by. NWA 7981 was only the 21st ever to be classified and now only 22 to date, don't hesitate! Gorgeous specimen with excellent matrix filled with tons of chondrules as you can see. I've never offered NWA 7981 too often, very low TKW from the start of only 110.9 grams and with my 20.9 grams donation/type spec, very little to share. Excellent addition to your collection. THE 100 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 100 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 100 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 005 OF 100 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 6 SPECIMENS SOLD TO DATE OF NWA 7981. ALL SPECIMENS WILL BE MUCH SMALLER IN SIZE DUE TO THE WEIGHT LEFT AVAILABLE (mostly micros). I WILL RETIRE THIS NWA NUMBER ONCE IT HAS HIT NUMBER 100 IN THE BOOK. THERE ARE MANY ORIGINAL CARDS LEFT. I WILL LABEL THE COA'S WITH THE 100 SPECIMENS WAY OF DOING THINGS NOW, LOL. THANK YOU. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO DIGEST??? LOL. My catalog number is G416-0005 and the specimen weighs in at 0.57 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 7981, as I do with all of my classifications. The specimen you see pictured is the exact specimen you will receive. Each card comes with catalog number, weight and my signature of authenticity. Thanks again for viewing. Cheers! Thanks again for viewing and my shipping is like this, the first is usually only $4.79 and .50 cents for each additional item, unless over 60 grams, then 1.00 per item.
