Makes my 200 mg of Nahkla look like table scraps! Beauty!

Imagine the time before it was classified as martian: 10 DM (~20 USD) per gram.

Beautiful specimen. My Nahkla is a big 160 mg "crumb". Now I have Nahkla envy.... ;-)

Hello Beat. I like the two beautifully crusted crumbs very much! Only one nakhlite in my collection: NWA 998 + thin section. Thanks for sharing!
