[meteorite-list] Ad - Meteorite Type Collections are back, Meteorite of the Month Club, New Holiday Shopping Categories
Hi Friends and Collectors, A few years ago, I offered a meteorite Type Collection kit with 28 different types. I am now re-introducing this kit with 36 different types, just in time for the upcoming holidays. Yes, it is that time of year again As always, use coupon code "metlist" at checkout for 20% off your entire order. This Type Collection Kit contains 36 different petrologic types from around the world and solar system. Many of these types are rare and quite hard to acquire. This is an ideal way to start out with Type-Collecting or to fill holes in your existing collection. Meteorite Type Collection : http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/meteorite-type-collection-36-different-petrologic-types To make Christmas and holiday shopping easier, I have added two new categories to the store - Stocking Stuffers (starting at just $5), and Unique Gift Displays. These are the most popular items every year for people purchasing gifts. Now is a good time to start getting your gift shopping done before the consumer insanity begins. :) Meteorite of the Month Club - http://www.galactic-stone.com/product/meteorite-of-the-month-club-one-year-13-different-specimens-one-per-month-bonus Stocking Stuffers - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/stocking-stuffers Unique Gift Displays - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/unique-gift-displays All Holiday Gift Items - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/holiday-gifts All New Offerings - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/brand-new?pagesize=60 Thanks for looking and have great weekend!

Click here for my current eBay auctions: http://stores.ebay.com/Outer-Space-Rocks Also I would like to introduce a beautiful new Feldspathic Lunar Melt Meteorite NWA 10228 This small 19.4 gram meteorite was found by Berber meteorite hunters east of Assa, Morocco near a place known by locals as Laagad.

Hello Francesco and List, You can also clean up rust with Coca-Cola (or Pepsi). I know someone who did and was very happy with the results. Anne M.

[meteorite-list] Chelyabinsk-like meteorites may strike Earth twice this century
Hello Listers, Chelyabinsk-like meteorites may strike Earth twice this century Source: REX The threat of an asteroid or meteorite attack on Earth is still relevant, Professor of the Ural Federal University, Victor Grokhovsky believes. According to the scientist, large celestial bodies "attack" planet Earth approximately three times in 100 years. Therefore, we may witness another meteorite attack, similar to the one that occurred in the sky above Chelyabinsk, Russia. "In this century, the first large meteorite exploded in the sky over Chelyabinsk. It is quite possible that objects similar to the Chelyabinsk meteorite may strike Earth once or twice this century," the professor told TASS, Pravda.Ru says. Grokhovsky explained that his theory was based on the statistical data of meteorite attacks on Earth in the last hundreds of years. According to Grokhovski, scientists do not know much about the threats that planet Earth may encounter in space. Pravda.Ru website: http://english.pravda.ru/news/science/14-10-2015/132322-chelyabinsk_meteorite-0/ I would say this is true, hello is a stony meteorite and we get hit by those a lot. What would be cool is if it was a lunar meteorite :)) SA Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 ebay store http://www.ebay.com/sch/imca1633ny/m.html Website http://meteoritefalls.com __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] AD - Display And Meteorite Related Items
Dear List Members, I have some great auctions ending tomorrow night. I have been cleaning out one of my many storage areas and found several small display type items that some of you collectors or dealers might be interested in. Most of them are new including Riker Mounts and Display Stands. I am attempting to place these directly at a much lower price than I paid so that somebody else can use them. I do not see myself selling at Gem and Mineral shows ever again since the number of attendees has declined rapidly the last several years so I no longer have any use for them. If you are interested, please let me know and I will set them aside for you. I may go to the Tucson Show one more time before the attendance numbers decline below 40,000 in order to sell a truck load of large glass and metal Arizona or similar type display cases. I currently have them warehoused but will dig them out if any dealers are interested in picking them up directly in Laughlin, NV saving me a trip to Tucson. Most are still new (used once) and in their original boxes. NWA 5000 Specimens, All started at just 99 cents with no reserve: Legendary NWA 5000 Lunar Meteorite Moon Rock 1.0 grams Pure Dust http://r.ebay.com/UKnv76 Crusted Legendary NWA 5000 Lunar Meteorite Moon Rock .314 grams - NO RESERVE! http://r.ebay.com/OgHcdL Excellent Legendary NWA 5000 Lunar Meteorite Moon Rock .448 grams - NO RESERVE! http://r.ebay.com/u5GGpM Great Legendary NWA 5000 Lunar Meteorite Moon Rock .526 grams - NO RESERVE! http://r.ebay.com/6b99Kh Meteorite related artifact. I will accept any reasonable direct offer on this very interesting piece even though it is currently running on eBay: 1700'S AFRICAN THUNDERSTONE OR METEORITE RELIC WITH IRON ADORNMENTS - MUST SEE!! http://r.ebay.com/uz49zN Display Items Direct Non Auction Sales Qty 80, 1-1/2" X 1-1/2" black display stands. These are perfect for displaying slices at shows or in a display case since the black tends to blend into the background so as not to interfere with specimens. I paid over two dollars each for these but will sell the entire lot for $80.00 with no shipping fees here in the United States. Image links to black display stands: http://themeteoritesite.com/DisplayItems/DisplayStands-a.jpg http://themeteoritesite.com/DisplayItems/DisplayStands-b.jpg Qty 72, 4" X 3" X ¾" Riker Mount Display Cases. These are the real deal, not some cheap Chinese knockoffs being sold for $2.00 each on eBay that will become delaminated and ooze glue all over your specimens. These have glass with good glue that doesn't melt under the lights in a display case. My landed costs were over $4.00 each but I will sell the entire lot for $150.00 and cover shipping here in the United States. Image links to Riker Mounts: http://themeteoritesite.com/DisplayItems/Riker-a.jpg http://themeteoritesite.com/DisplayItems/Riker-b.jpg Qty 20, 4" X 3" X ¾" Plus Qty 2, 8-1/4" X 6-1/4" X ¾" Used Riker Mount Display Cases. These were used once for a show and are in near perfect shape with no labels or imperfections. These are the real deal, not some cheap Chinese knockoffs being sold for $2.00 each on eBay that will become delaminated and ooze glue all over your specimens. These have glass with good glue that doesn't melt under the lights in a display case. My landed costs were over $4.00 each for the smaller ones and $16.00 each for the larger ones but I will sell the entire 22 item lot for $60.00 and cover shipping her in the United States. Qty 2, (a) 2-1/2" 11 Rattle, (b) 2-1/4" 10 Rattle, Large rattlesnake tails found in the Mohave Desert. These would make a perfect compliment to meteorite displays since these were found while hunting for meteorites. I have seen much smaller once offered in gift shops for $25.00 each. $25 for the pair with free shipping in the United States.

[meteorite-list] RIP: Robert Farquhar (1932-2015)
http://spaceref.com/isee-3/robert-farquhar-1932-2015.html Robert Farquhar 1932-2015 By Keith Cowing Spaceref.com October 18, 2015 My friend Robert Farquhar left this life today. He orbited the sun 83 times. He was big on orbits and designed some of the most esoteric and complex spacecraft trajectories ever attempted which were executed with stunning precision. Between ISEE-3's crazy trips around the inner solar system to the recent flyby of Pluto, Bob had a hand in many missions. I went to visit Bob a week or so ago at home. He was weak but still smiled when I told him we had a date to go outside and wave at ISEE-3 when it flies by Earth again in 2029. More to follow in the days ahead. This graphic went out on the @ISEE3Reboot Twitter account today "I lost my human brother Bob Farquhar today. Although I don't have a computer I will always remember him." __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
