[meteorite-list] AD: Meteorite Playing Cards
Hi All, For a bit of fun recently, I have created and had produced a limited run of just 100 packs of meteorite themed playing cards. The face of each one displays a different meteorite. All classes and types are represented. Falls, finds, Martians, Lunars, irons etc. Professionally produced using Heretic 305um card, they are plastic coated ensuring that they deal and fan like playing cards should. The packs are supplied in a custom laminated box for durability and to ensure they stand out! I sold a few dozen at Ensisheim this year, and am now offering them to the wider meteorite community if anyone is interested. I guarantee you will love them! For more details, photos and videos please see: www.ministryofmeteorites.com They are priced at £12 per pack, which is around $19/15 euros plus postage to wherever you are! Just drop me a note to place an order or if you have any questions at all to either: lutherjack...@gmail.com or i...@ministryofmeteorites.com Cheers, have a nice weekend all, Luther, UK __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Thanks for pointing it out Martin! I guess the MetSoc organizers are very busy and haven't had time to notify presenters. I didn't even know I had talk yet, but I know now, thanks to you! There many other interesting sessions in addition to Sutter's Mill, one devoted entirely to Tissint.

Re: [meteorite-list] [Meteorites] http://phys.org/news184402061.html
NWA 6871 had a rather large diamond (for a meteorite) extracted from it after causing a lot of trouble during the cutting process. It was without a doubt the hardest meteorite I or several others have come across. Dr. David Vann did the cutting and Im sure he could go into more details of the process which was not very easy. It tore through blades left and right. I have not seen much online about diamonds found in meteorites that were able to be held in your hand, much less seen with the naked eye like the one we pulled out of it. Its going to be studied later in July which should hopefully provide some more details about it and perhaps help science to better understand the process of formation of it and maybe a few other things will come from the research. Here are a few photos for everyone to enjoy of this exciting find - I am calling it The Gump Diamond because meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what your gonna get. Showing scale and size http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSCF5332-4.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSCF5281-3.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSC00608-3.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSC00607-2.jpg Close ups http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSC00610-3.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSC00606-3.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c165/jedisdiamond/DSC00609-3.jpg Here is more detailed information on NWA 6871 that is already available. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=53784 Physical characteristics: A single extremely hard, brown stone weighing 119 g and almost impossible to cut. Small adamantine crystals of diamond were extracted from the stone by Mr. Catterton. Petrography: Coarse-grained aggregate of olivine and orthopyroxene with finer grained interstitial regions containing opaque material, calcite and limonite. Some thin calcite veinlets cross-cut the specimen. Both olivine and pyroxene are completely recrystallized to aggregates of myriad tiny, polygonal subgrains. Geochemistry: Olivine cores Fa19.4-20.0 (CaO=0.3 wt.%, Cr2O3=0.7 wt.%), rims Fa10.5; orthopyroxene Fs12.6-13.7Wo3.7-3.4. Classification: Achondrite (ureilite). The very high shock experienced by this specimen (causing complete recrystallization of silicates and evidently generation of significant amounts of microdiamond) is unusual among ureilites. Specimens: A total of 20 g of material is on deposit at App and one polished thin section is at UWS. Mr. G. Catterton holds the main mass.
