Anne All,
It's great you have gone through the trouble and taken the risk to do this,
Anne! There are various degrees to which this can be accomplished
(available upon request, automatically included with every purchase, etc),
and it will be interesting to see what this transparent approach to
Well,
but how should I behave, when now the sharks are coming to me, and they will
come, asking e.g. for Boguslavka or Drake Creek, because they can read it as
provenance on Anne's page?
To sell them then some would be disingenuous towards Anne.
See, it is somewhat problematical.

Why not just ask the dealer where the material came from? This has worked for
over a decade for my business. Personally, I always will tell a customer if
the ask, but only if that source wants the information given. Posting the info
for all to see, poses a problem for the privacy of that

Now lets see which one of my Colleagues will follow suit and publish
his sources too.
Probably not many will do, as long as they are more or less at the dealer´s end
of the line. It is all a matter of perspective. While I personally think this
is a very good idea, and would encourage you
Matt List,
This is the opinion of only one collector, but your suggestion is something
that would work (and has worked) perfectly fine for me. Martin's dilemma is
a good point, however, and it may be mitigated but not completely disappear
under your format. Most sophisticated industries --
Sounds like a good solution Matt.
I would not want my name published on a website that I provide consignments
if I did that sort of thing. If I was a buyer and saw that dealer A had a
specimen acquired from dealer B, I would just contact dealer B and see if
they had any more and eliminate
I bet not.

We need only look to Peru to understand the expertise and efficiency that
governments can bring to bear in order to secure critical scientific data.
The carpetbaggers that plundered the site of the recent fall merely

I agree with Jim and would like to add an observation. People buying
meteorites fall into three categories.
1.Buying from a dealer who is trusted to know what he is doing and has a
track record of happy customers.
2.Knowing the material (and who is selling what) well enough to
Dear me!
Alex!
What else could we burden to the dealers?
Uncle, isn't it enough that the hunters and dealers are working each for
three men, are risking their money, their health and their time, to organize
the rarest matter on Earth for the collectors in a volume and variety like
never before
Utter rot.
Why should meteorites be different from any other cultural or scientific
heritage? Viewed from a slightly broader view than we sometimes do on
this list, meteorites are items of both financial and scientific value.
None of us have any god-given right to own them, whether they come

I agree. There were a few times several years ago when someone
demanded provenance on items I was selling only to have them contact
my source directly and attempt to take me out of the middle of the deal.
If buyers aren't sure that they can trust a dealer to sell them
exactly what is claimed,
I guess the question here is, do sellers have a right to anonymity, and
if so, when does it outweigh the buyer's right to provenance?
As a collector I'm delighted to have more provenance, because it add to
the interest of the piece, the future value, and gives me even more
confidence that
Has anyone heard of this meteorite from Chile? I saw it at an antique show
in Atlanta over the weekend. It felt way too light to be an iron, and a
magnet was only slightly attracted to it, but it didn't look anything like a
stony either.
It's metallic color was all wrong: kind of a shiny titanium
It's not just about meteorites folks. Try asking you great aunt,

It doesn't happen often, but it does. When KemKem (remember the thread about 2
months ago?) first became available, buyers were assured it was going to be
catalogued 'real soon'. Then it came out that what was being sold as KemKem
was a jumble of several finds mixed together, and that most
Hi Martin and List,
First of all, my brother, Greg had nothing to do with
the acquisition on Northwest Africa 5000. Second, I
reported how it was brought into possession in way of
the entry in the Meteoritical Bulletin and my

These days, I think proving laboratory provenance is

Walter:
I read it. If I remember correctly, it was a good read. The author's
opinions were held at bay until the end. He supplied lots of information on
the various theories, and after reading each one, I was convinced THAT was
the single-most believable theory. (Until he described the next
Fully agree,
with NWA-material, the initial point for a collector is the entry in the
Bulletin - and easy traceable it is for him, as the main mass holder is
given there.
