Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing one part slice specimen of NWA 16819 Carbonaceous CV3 Chondrite Meteorite from Northwest Africa. This meteorite has an excellent abundance of CAI's in almost every slice I have ever made. Very beautiful slice with a green matrix and tons of clasts and CAI's. Don't miss out! Newly made official on July 25th of 2024. I am main mass holder, etc. Below is the data for my classification. Excellent addition to your collection.

SEE THE WHITE STUFF FOLKS? THAT'S CALLED A CAI, THE OLDEST MATERIAL IN THE UNIVERSE, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW, ACCORDING TO SCIENCE. UNBELIEVABLE SPECIMEN HERE.

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 013 OF 300 ETC FROM HERE ON OUT ALSO. 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 005 SPECIMENS SOLD TO DATE OF NWA 16819. I WILL RETIRE THIS NWA NUMBER ONCE IT HAS HIT THE 300 SPECIMEN MARK IN MY BOOK. THE NEW CARDS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH THE CAT, WEIGHT AND SIGNATURE AREAS ON THE BACK, ALL HAND-WRITTEN OF COURSE. THERE ARE NO OLD CARDS, ONLY THIS NEW ONE FOR THIS NEWEST OFFICIAL CLASSIFICATION OF MINE. THANK YOU. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO DIGEST??? LOL.

My catalog number is G734-0013 and weighs in at 1.73 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 16819, 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 $5.95 and .50 cents for each additional item, unless over 60 grams, then 1.00 per item. Cheers and thanks again for stopping by.
