The strewnfield data will be disclosed to the
meteoritical society soon. I need to make another trip to finish up some stuff
over there.

Mike,
You also stated that you were mapping the strewn
field. Can you make this map available now that the field has been
cleaned? This would make your cache even more valuable.
Now all the people thumbing there noses at NWA's
will have to pause and consider this find with a known location of
quantifiable and gorgeous material.
Many collectors have been blessed with the NWA
meteorite rush with many now having material only found in museums 3 years
ago. The worlds museums have also been blessed. I have seen what
David has contributed to the Royal Ontario Museum and the quantity and beauty
of what he has given is astounding. The R.O.M. is extremely
grateful.
Cheers,

temporary bargain
Dear List
I am one of about 4
dealers who bought up CR2s in Morroco.We all shared our good fortune with
friends, collectors and Ebay buyers.This however was a very temporary
opportunity which will never be seen again. Dean Bessy allowed collectors
for a once in a lifetime chance at letting them have CR2s at $23 a gram.
People who would never have dreamed one year ago at such an opportunity,
now proudly display their CR2s and are expanding their collections.He will
sell out at Tucson leaving only three of us with the lion's share of this
find. The strewn field is small and totally worked over.Those of us left
will never after Tucson let this rare material sell for under $100 a
gram.I probably control half of the fall and will personally keep or
donate it to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto , Canada. [ about4,000+
grams]. Thus supply and demand kick in and those that have it are in no
hurry to sell it at low prices after Feb. 2002. For those that bought CR2s
from Dean, Congratulations on the great deal. For those who didn't it's
highly unlikely you will ever be offered this gift again, which was more
of a temporary parntnership to help offset Deans investment.Dean has done
well by buying from the source and adding a bit of a mark up. He is
providing material today that we could only have dreamed of a year
ago at affordable prices. He has helped to expand the base of our
collecting community and is an asset to us.Those who bought in the past at
high prices should not worry. The material is limited and will continue to
sell to high prices in the future. Best regards
David Gregory
