Hi Folks! I have a few offerings of interest, including a large Canyon Diablo Riker display.
http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/0/Canyon-Diablo-Crater-Display-Kit--Famous-Iron-Meteorite_592091.html This set would be perfect as a gift or perhaps as an outreach prop. It has several different samples from the Canyon Diablo site - crater sand, ejecta rim rock, tiny shrapnels, large individual iron, and tiny spheroids from the Nininger collection. (the latter have a copy of the original collection label) Forget the price on the website - US Met-List members can have this kit for $80 shipped! Canadian and Overseas buyers is $100 shipped via USPS Priority International Box. (typically about one week delivery time) I also have the entire 2008 year of Meteorite Magazine (4 quarterly issues) for $50 shipped. Again, ignore the price on the website - that price is for the general public and not Met List members. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/0/Meteorite-Magazine--Entire-2008-Year--4-Issues_1009149.html I also have some beautifully-crusted and fresh stony meteorites from a variety of recent falls - some of these are oriented and 100% crusted. All of them come in dessicated Riker boxes with display labels - ready for your cabinet or display shelf. All of these are prime examples of their respective falls, or they wouldn't have been in my private/personal collection cabinet. I'm not a "high roller" collector, so I can't afford BIG stones that are this nice, so I collect the nicest ones I can afford - the offerings below are of high quality. Again - ignore the prices on the website. Met-List members get 25% off of the prices for the specimens below : Bassikounou 4.69 grams, fully 100% crusted in FRESH velvety, pitch-black fusion crust. This is as nice as a small Bassikounou gets. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Bassikounou-Witnessed-Fall--100-Crusted-Whole-Stone_1065553.html Chergach 6.63 grams, fully-oriented with prominent roll-over lip. 98% fully crusted in FRESH black velvety fusion crust. This is one of the freshest Chergach stones I have ever seen. It must have been collected right after it first hit the dirt. It has one tiny spot on the fusion crust where the unoxidized matrix is exposed. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Chergach-Meteorite--Oriented-Whole-Stone-w-Rollover-Lip_1065557.html Oum Dreyga 4.53 grams, Oriented and 100% FRESH fusion crust. Just like the two stones above, this one is truly "fresh" - pitch black, matte-velvety crust. This one didn't sit in the desert long before someone scooped it up and protected it from oxidation. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Oum-Dreyga-Witnessed-Fall-Meteorite--Oriented-Whole-Stone_1065564.html Bensour 2.35 grams - 100% FRESH black crust. This one has a nice rounded organic shape that reminds me of a tiny pea-pod. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Bensour-Witnessed-Fall-Meteorite--Fresh-Whole-Stone_1065561.html FINDS : (don't forget, you get 25% off of these prices shown below) Gold Basin (with Aerolite label and Kriegh/Monrad provenance) - this one is a "faux-individual". This means it is a nice round fragment that is not jagged - at first glance, it could resemble a small "individual". It's spherical, like a weathered marble. If you want a collectible Gold Basin fragment, this is it. http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Gold-Basin--Arizona-Meteorite--Jim-Kriegh-Personal-Find_1066934.html I also have the following available - Juancheng crusted fragment, Tamdakht crusted fragment, Moldavites, and cheap bulk UNWA lots for outreach or gifts. (small slices, endcuts and fragments). BOOKS - Collision Earth, Meteorite & Comet Impacts by Grego - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Collision-Earth--Meteorite-Comet-Impacts-by-Peter-Grego_1055700.html Comets, Creators and Destroyers by Levy - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Comets--Creators-and-Destroyers-by-David-Levy_1069531.html Moldavite, Starborn Stone of Transformation (New Age) - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/Moldavite--Starborn-Stone-of-Transformation--Book_1041995.html I have a growing pile of MAPS journal back issues - contact me to make an offer. Lastly, have some nice NWA 869 display slices - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126516/NWA-869--Heavy-Slice--1004-grams_1019899.html http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126502/NWA-869--Crusted-Endcut--937-grams_1019905.html http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126502/NWA-869--Nice-Slice--464-grams_1019895.html http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126502/NWA-869--Crusted-Endcut--105-grams_1019890.html http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/126502/NWA-869--Nice-Thick-Slice--999-grams_1019665.html EVERYONE WHO ORDERS TODAY WILL GET EXTRA FREEBIES - classified NWA slices and other nice stuff.
