[meteorite-list] Fwd: Foundry Information
Hello List, Below is the Los Angeles foundry information - sorry it took me so long to get, but it was apparently buried in the records at home - Peter managed to find it.

I don't know whether they can duplicate stony material; I doubt it. I suppose they would make a metal replica of anything.

[meteorite-list] AD: Wold Cottage, Strathmore, Ensisheim, Barwell, NWA 869 +++
Hi all, My move away from collecting meteorites based on either geography or history and towards type collecting means I'm considering selling the following historic falls, along with a few more recent finds: Wold Cottage, fell December 1795 in Yorkshire, England, 3.435g partslice. $700 (this is approximately $200/gram, the piece originates from Rob Elliott and has NHM London provenance. Rob's asking price several years ago was $250/g. Such historical pieces have only increased in value in recent years, so I firmly believe this is a good deal for somebody) NWA 869, 694g individual. Very rarely seen in these sizes any more, would be ideal for slicing. $500 Ensisheim, fell in 1492 in Alsace, France. 1.00g partslice. $300 Barwell, Fell December 1965 in Leicestershire, England. 1.448g fragment with crystalline inclusion, see the crystal at http://www.bimsociety.org/miotm/1001.jpg . $140 Carancas, fell September 2007 in Peru. 1.25g fragment with black slickenside on one face. Not often seen in sizes 1g any more, one of the pieces brought back by Moritz Karl. $125 Strathmore, fell 1917 in Perthshire, Scotland. Approximately 0.5g consisting of ~10 fragments from 1-3mm and numerous smaller fragments/dust. $100 Chergach, fell July 2007 in Mali. 17.1g individual. $85 Capot Rey, found 2004 in Niger. 15.3g individual. $65 Photo's are available on request. Please mail off-list if you are interested in any of the specimens.

Besides the fact that CDs that large are MUCH more rare. The LARGE regmaglypts is the big tell. Canyon Diablos don't typically have large smoother thumbprints like Campos do which is caused by ablation. CDs are more shrapnel like, with sharp edges, ridges, and points. Typical of an impact iron. Campo del Ceilo meteorites are different in that MOST pieces are highly thumbprinted/ablated, evidencing their high altitude breakup and ablation which smoothes the outer surface. Not an from explosive impact/explosive event which rips the iron to pieces like the Canyon Diablos.

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Hi Stuart and List, Questions like this can be tricky, depending on the information sources available. For example... I once paid $100 for a 1mg speck of Sylacauga. That amounts to a staggering $100,000/gram. Even further I once traded for a 1mg speck of Lafayette. In the process of moving the speck to another gemjar, the speck fractured into two pieces - one larger, one smaller. I sold the smaller sub-speck for $100. I would wager that the speck weighed less than 1/2 milligram. So the selling price on that was about $200,000 per gram or more. From everything I have read or seen, $200K per gram exceeds any known auction price or selling price for a meteorite (per gram). Of course, I wasn't around back before the internet and during the opening days of the Saharan gold rush when lunars and martians were selling for astronomical prices. During those days, Calcalong Creek was exceedingly-expensive. It is indeed possible that some intrepid soul paid more than $200K/gram for a speck of it.

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Good afternoon Folks, About 10 years ago I bought a small specimen of Calcalong Creek from Rob Eliot. I sold about a dozen .0005 to .002 gram specimens of this meteorite on eBay for $400.00 each. As available lunar material was tougher to come by back then, and given the rarity of Calcalong Creek, none of my Buy-It-Now listings on eBay lasted any more than a few hours. Conservatively, the sales price of those specimens ranged from $200,000/g to about $800,000/g. I decided to add a new, small specimen of Calcalong Creek to my collection just a couple of months ago and I paid approximately $250,000/g for that specimen---and felt darned lucky to get it at all.

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Yes, I can vouch that Calcalong Creek is the most expensive meteorite at this time. Earlier this year I sold a tiny fragment of Calcalong, 0.002g (2 mg), for more per gram than any of the prices quoted below. And I sold it very fast, it never even appeared on my website.

Re: [meteorite-list] BLACK FRIDAY POP QUIZ Answer
Hi Richard, that was also my answer :-) But if I imagine, that Calcalong Creek could have been a trigger for the legislation in Australia, which catapulted a whole continent and meteorite nation N°2 into a meteoritic nirvana, then the price for Calcalong was indeed high. Though as it is an inanimate stone, we can't blame Calcalong for that, but human brutishness. Regarding the acquisition costs, the next expensive meteorites of all times, must be those recovered by EUROMET, an cooperation by European universities with the goal to recover new meteorites, seen the budget used and the number and weights of their finds. Followed by the Antarctic campaigns. Science costs. With a large distance - on the lower end are those meteorites found by commercially oriented people and private collectors. And bottom are those, disappropriated from the finders - they were available for giving up human decency and integrity. Something, which seemed to be at least for a few a very low price. Hence Calcalong had 19grams, so it would have cost like a top diamond. Not that tragic, for the first lunar meteorite at its times. Meanwhile, due to private activities, we arrived now partially at prices for lunars below 200$ per carat. I hope, those reading that list and still planning to introduce a ban of all private activities and especially those entertainers, still blaming in media the private sector to be so harmful to their science, will put that one day in their pipes and smoke it. And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

[meteorite-list] Ad - Big Sale! Partial Liquidation of Collection
Hello List, I rarely sell my meteorites but I’m ready for some up grades and some changes. My collecting habits and interests have altered course somewhat, nearly imperceptibly over time, but none the less they are changing. I was reading about some historic stuff just the other day and I nearly had an epiphany, hence the sale. Here is a small portion of my personal collection. Some prices listed are firm, some are negotiable, and some are “Best Offer” with or without a reserve price. If you see anything you like but the price is too high, make an offer. I should also point out that I would take a reduced price on the whole lot, if you care to make me an offer. Provenance is excellent with few exceptions. Those few were bought long ago from unknown sellers, or I don’t have notes of the sale and my memory fails me. I don't always have exact dates or in-situ picturesof my early finds. Sorry, no Park Forest, still can't part with the hammer. No Mifflin either, I sold more than I wanted and it nearly killed me! I can send pictures of anything you see listed and may be interested in, so don’t hesitate to ask. Shipping is included with all U.S. sales over $20.00. A small fee will apply to others according to cost. Thanks for looking Larry It’s kind of late so I’ll respond to inquiries in the morning. Ash Creek 61.1 gram 98-99 % crusted individual. Jet black and awesome! This is what a fresh meteorite looks like. Found by Karl Aston on the “Hell No!’ Ranch.” Background, Karl and I were the first and maybe the only ones to ever get permission to hunt that property. In the words of the land owner: “Do you know why my wife and I have decided to let you two hunt?” “No Sir” I said, “Because you’re the first ones to come to the house without a damn business card.” Words of a Texas Rancher. Price: Best offer with a reserve. Don’t be skeerd though, it’s very reasonable and I dare say the lowest price you will find anywhere, try me. Vaca Muerta 8.38 g Polished end cut. Very nice. $45.00 obo Allende 2.1 gram half stone. CV3.2 $18.00 Shirokovsky 106 gram PallaWrong Russia $70.00 Franconia 39.35 g H5 O.C. Individual that is a half stone as found. Recovered by me in 2007 I may be able to find a picture I took of this one in-situ with coord’s. If that interests you let me know. $50.00 Norton County Kansas Multiple frag’s adding up to .81 grams Aubrite Witnessed fall Best Offer no reserve Gold Nugget with Quartz I found this in the late 1990’s at Gold Basin while hunting meteorites. It is a somewhat smoothed specimen, not like the jagged ones I found there. Weight is 1.73 grams $99.00 or Best offer NWA 869 Needs no description. If you don’t know, look it up! One Big Chunk which is a little rare these days. 1.129 Kg. Individual, missing some slices from one end that are listed for sale below. Background; I visited Dean Bessey in Toronto a few years before he moved to the other side of the Planet and was fortunate to pick this up. It has graced my collection for many years. It has been handed from person to person at rock clubs where I gave meteorite presentations and from kid to kid at different schools I’ve spoken at. I will miss it but it’s time to move on! $600.00 or best offer, it’s gotta go. NWA 869 Unpolished full Slices 75.3g $51.00 53.9 gram Full Slice with Big white inclusion thingy in it. $36.00 32.1 gram Attractive End Cut $22.00 23.5 gram Full Slice with huge white inclusion thingy in it. $16.00 “Clarkston” Meteor Wrong 1.73 gram Has spinel crystals like the ones found in KT boundary and other impact debris layers. Very cool stuff! One of my all time best finds! $35.00 Dag 956 “The Christmas” meteorite. Part Slices, Some with good crust. $1.25 a gram. I bought these from the finder a few years ago. 29.8g 21.2g 7.0 6.1 Gold Basin 60.58 gram Whole Individual. History; This is the fourth meteorite I ever found. Back in 1997 before I knew of computers and GPS, the “List” and all that jazz, I put a number on it with white paint. It’s #4. $125.00 or best. Huckita 40 gram ancient Pallasite, polished slice with Haag card. Nice! $50.00 Dhofar 007 Eucrite 5 gram super thin slice with great surface to weight ratio. There were suspicions this may have a Mercury connection but I think that’s been laid to rest, any input? $110.00 Gujba 1.3 gram Bencubinite I bought this from M. Taylor a few years ago. I really like it, perhaps one of the most unique meteorites I’ve ever looked at, but I’m done with this one, too small. $50.00 .15 gram frag $10.00 Holbrook I guess I would be remiss if I didn’t include some of my Holbrook I found back in 2007. (See “Meteorite” Magazine, November 2007) Pieces from the largest Holbrook find in decades. 13.2 gram Full slice of the largest fragment associated with the find. Excellent crust on the long edge. This is the last one I have like this. Holbrook specimens this large are nearly impossible to find.
Re: [meteorite-list] Video on Meteorite Identification in Field
Nice work, McCartney. Thanks for sharing. Linton - Original Message - From: McCartney Taylor mccart...@blackbearddata.com To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Friday, November 26, 2010 9:29 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] Video on Meteorite Identification in Field I've created a stone meteorite identification video of good quality. With the success of Meteorite Men, the universities, labs, and some dealers including me are suddenly receiving a big influx of meteorwrong submissions. I wanted to create a video of instruction that any of us could redirect the submitters to. Hopefully, the video will convince 3/4 that they don't have a meteorite, and they don't get mad at us for dashing their $1,000,000 hope. Even if we can filter out 50% of the submitters, the community is way ahead in avoiding lost time. It is hosted on youtube, and they provide a very nice html snippet if you wish to embed this video in your webpage. Ideally the page the visitors read before they contact you about their worthless rocks.

[meteorite-list] AD: British museum sets of photocards depicting British meteorites
Hi all, I have managed to acquire a few sets of these photocards and am able to offer 4 sets for sale. These meteorite photocards were Issued by the British Museum in 1922. They are all in Mint condition and come in the envelope they were issued in. They really are superb and look much better in hand than in photos. Not very often seen for sale if at all i am looking for $175 per set including shipping. See photos at the link below: (http://s1130.photobucket.com/albums/m531/msg-meteorites/?albumview=slideshow) Drop me a line if interested. First come, first served!
