Greg's reference to the World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorites has prompted me to make my first post to the list. I am the proud owner of the World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorite lot from Greg. I would second's Greg's opinion that these things are mighty ugly. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here is some feedback from one person that I sold one of the specimens to:
"A+ a very nice example of highy weathered chondrite with caliche and fractures." The specimens from that lot have also wowed the kids I coach (although more "traditional" iron meteroites are a bigger hit). Thanks!

=> Anyway, it is nice to hear someone say "excellent,"
"unbelievable,"
=> "proud" and "fine" all in the same description with Northbranch. => "Are there any *ugly* meteorites?
There are "ugly" meteorites! In fact, last Halloween I offered and sold "The World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorite". It went for an "excellent" price to a new "proud" owner. It was a "fine" mix of "unbelievable" Orange and Black colors and many broken fragments. It was truly "ugly", but I am still "proud" to have discovered it with a batch of other chondrites. It is said the ugly is only skin deep, but I believe that one was ugly all the way through ;-) Best regards, Greg
