Hello All, Those auctions I listed a while back are ending - tonight! There are about five hours left at the moment on the following items:
1) A 2.06g Tamdakht fragment with a small patch of nicely textured fusion crust. This is the result of a larger stone's violent encounter with earth - not overly impressive in itself, but when one thinks about what led to its formation - kind of awesome. 2) A 9.4g fragment of NWA 1953. This fragment represents about 1/7 of the tkw, and has two large (3-4mm+) chondrules sticking out of it - one of which is distincly green-grey in color. It's a nice completely desert-varnished fragment of a fairly low NWA number with a very low total known weight. There's a lot of fresh metal sticking out on the bottom of the stone - I'm assuming this would be nice cutting material. Also, check out the chondrule-void - killer hole on one end of it. 3) A .2257g cut fragment of Paragould. One of Nininger's first field recoveries, and the largest witnessed fall at the time, Paragould is one of the more historic American meteorites - second probably to Weston, but significantly harder to acquire - and nicer, in my opinion. 4) A 6.2g end-cut of NWA 1696 - again, a low tkw meteorite with a pretty low NWA number. Also note - a weathering grade of one, and a breccia of both unequilibrated and equilibrated material. Pretty neat stone, a good example of a chondrite and of a breccia. While it isn't the largest piece I will be listing, it is certainly the least-weathered.
