Hi list.After talking to a few people,it was suggested
that I drop the price of this new chondrite.And not
because of what someone said,and again dumped on me
for no reason,I dropped it to $3 a gram.Very
affordable for most people.Please stop the personal

Dear Steve and List,
  Steve you still don`t get it! You post numerous
posts to the list with only numerous non-sense
questions, unlabeled ADs in the subject, you say that
you are sorry, but continue to spam the list and
disregard your PROMISE that you made to the list
about obeying the list rules, as was pointed out by
other list members, Ken Newton, etc.
 
  Steve take another vacation or just be silent.  Your
fan club and few customers can be your own collective
audience.

  Three dollars a gram for a highly weathered H5 NWA
that IS likely paired, is silly (tons of OCs 
including H5s from NWA have never been classified
because they are not economically worth the time to do
so).  Even you should realize this.

  Gao, a witnessed fall and certainly more beautiful
sells for between .80-$2.00/gram.  Why would anyone in
their right mind pay $3/gram for a junk NWA H5.  A
more realistic price would be .80-$1/gr; and even at
that you would be lucky to sell even Bessey specks.

  Personal attacks...you attack us with your silly
questions; lack of respect for our time and help, lack
of respect with multiple posts that include something
in the following post from you that you forgot to
mention, etc.

  You are an intelligent person, show it! 
 
  Still no regrets for my response to your bull,
Dirk Ross...Tokyo

Dear Steve should make his own mail list where he can spam only his fan club

[meteorite-list] Cali Colombia, the world's newest meteorite fall recovered!

2007-07-24 Thread Michael Farmer
Hello list members. I have been quiet for the last
week for good reason.  Robert 
Ward and I have been in Colombia (my old stomping
grounds) for the last week, 
investigating the newest meteorite fall on Earth.
Amazingly, this meteorite fell 
on 6 July, while we were both still in Sweden hunting
meteorites. Last week, 
while at home waiting to pick of the Sweden cargo, I
received a call from a friend who said that he had
seen a news 
clip in Univision (Spanish network) that a meteorite
had fallen in Cali, 
Colombia and pieces had hit houses. 
Immediately I went home and used google to search in
Spanish. In seconds I had 
articles and photos of meteorites that had been
recovered. Within two hours, I 
had plane tickets and flew to Las Vegas to meet up
with Robert. He had not even 
made it home after our month long trip to Europe and
he already had tickets for 
another hunt in South America!
So last Thursday we flew to Colombia, and began our
hunt which has been extremely 
problematic. After nearly one week, we are now
successful because of about 10 
newspaper and 5 TV interviews.
 
Ok, now for the fun part, a brief history of the Cali
Colombia chondrite fall.
On July 6th, at about 4:10 PM, a huge fireball
appeared over the Northern 
Cauca 
valley just on top of the Western range of the Andes
mountains, in the vicinity 
of the Calima lake. According to many reports from the
area, a huge fire in the 
sky appeared in a nearly cloudless day, moving rapidly
to the south and quickly 
breaking into two pieces. Just after it split into two
pieces, a huge sonic boom 
shook the ground, and the many towns in the mountains
and the edge of the 
valley, and according to RCN news, several reports of
windows shattering in 
homes. The fireball then exploded again several times,
creating a rolling 
thunder that lasted for at least a minute. 
Over 60 km to the south, in the city of Cali, people
heard a loud thunder from 
the mountains but only a few reports of people who
actually saw the explosion 
from the city itself. Minutes later, a shower of
stones rained down on the 
eastern 
barrios on the very edge of the city. So far, four
homes were hit and damaged by 
meteorites. 
The first stone, CALI #0001, landed in a home,
slamming through the tin roof, hitting the 
tile floor and chipping it. The stone shattered into
several pieces, and it 
weighed around ~80 grams when reassembled.  The
residents were home, and a small boy was playing 
on the patio. The homeowner heard a loud thunder and
yelled at the child to get 
inside as she thought it was a storm. Moments later, a
loud crash hit the home, 
and pieces of stone were all over the floor. The first
Cali meteorite had 
landed.  This meteorite has been sold to a university
professor in Spain, I do not know who but supposedly
for research, and it has already been shipped.


In another home about 3 km from the first, an elderly
couple were relaxing in 
bed taking the usual Colombian afternoon siesta, when
they heard the same 
thunder. They thought nothing of it, normal storms
here almost daily. Then 
moments later they heard a bang in the bathroom. They
went in and saw a light 
shining through the roof, where no skylight had been
moments before! In the 
shower stall, there were numerous fragments of a black
and white stone. It had penetrated the metal tin roof
and chipped the tiles in the shower. They 
thought that kids had somehow thrown a stone through
the roof, so they called 
the police, who came promptly and took a small piece
of the stone (now lost).  
Robert and I went to the home, and quickly bought the
remaining fragments from 
that stone ~25 grams. The entire stoned weighed ~40
grams as best as we can 
guess. I cut out the hole in the roof and have the
rooftop and meteorite fragments.

The third stone landed in a nearby home ~1 km away.
The residents again were 
home, the mother in the living room and the children
playing on the patio. They 
were watching TV so did not recall hearing any
thunder, only hearing a large 
crash in the kitchen. The oldest boy ran into the
living room, yelling that a 
stone had broken the roof. The mother went into the
kitchen, only moments later, 
to see a small complete black stone laying on the
floor. When she picked it up, 
it was quite cold. Upon seeing the hole in the roof,
she noted that the stone 
had impacted and dented the top of the refrigerator,
and damaging a box on top 
of the fridge. We cut the roof out of this home as
well, and now Robert Ward is 
the proud owner of Cali #0003, a complete stone
weighing around ~40 grams. We 
photographed the damaged fridge of course, but could
not buy it as it was in 
good working order and only had a large dent in the
top.

The fourth stone came to me only tonight, a few hours
ago. I had done a Sunday newspaper 
interview, a full page article about Robert and I,
titled A meteoritehunter has 
landed in Cali.  I received a call just as I  was
wrapping up another newspaper 
interview to be

Hello everybody,

Yes, I finally got my Catalog up to date. I only  added a few things but with 
names like Agen, Chiang Khan, and Wonyulgunna (how  do you pronounce that 
one) they might interest some of you. Go take  a look: 
 _http://www.impactika.com/MetList.htm_ 
(http://www.impactika.com/MetList.htm) 

Also  one of my consigner needs funds so he has asked me to cut down the 
prices on  his pieces, and I have done that too. They are written in red so you 
can find  them easily. And remember that reasonable offers will be considered. 
For  those of you who don't want to do any hunting, I prepared an Excel 
spreadsheet  with just and only those sales items, here it is:

And one more thing, if you missed seeing the picture of a spectacular slice  
of D'Orbigny on Picture of the Day (thank you Michael) you can find it now on  
the page of unique Private Collection pieces, with the huge Imilac and the  
oriented Chiang Khan, and yes, it is available:

Enjoy!
And as usual, do let me know if you have any questions.
Thank  you.
