Description: Hello and thank you for viewing my listing. Today you are purchasing one extremely rare cutting fragment, end cut'ish, specimen of NWA 8557 Achondrite Eucrite-mmict Meteorite from Northwest Africa. One of my earlier classifications with a very low TKW of only 81.59 grams, 1 stone, less the 16.5g donation, 65.09g left without cutting losses, making this a rarity for sure. I doubt if this classification even reaches 100 specimens with how low the TKW is? We shall see. Excellent rare 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 004 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 HAS ONLY BEEN 1 SPECIMEN SOLD TO DATE OF NWA 8557. ALL SPECIMENS WILL BE MUCH SMALLER IN SIZE DUE TO THE WEIGHT LEFT AVAILABLE. I WILL RETIRE THIS NWA NUMBER ONCE IT HAS HIT NUMBER 100 IN THE BOOK. I STILL HAVE MANY OF THE ORIGINAL COA CARDS AS I HAVEN'T OFFERED MANY SPECIMENS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DATA ABOVE. THANK YOU. WAS THAT TOO MUCH TO DIGEST??? LOL. My catalog number is G584-0004 and the specimen weighs in at 0.07 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 8557, as I do with all of my classifications. The specimen you see pictured is the exact specimen you will receive. The total known weight or TKW, is very low for this classification, get her while you can! 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. Everyone is given the opportunity to shop for two full weeks without ever exceeding 10.00 shipping, no matter how many you win or buy over the two-week period, even earth stones! Cheers and thanks again for stopping by.
