Hello Martin, all,
 
 Martin thanks very much for the link (Antarctica daily adventures)  
 that I should not have forgotten to include!
 Oh my...too many issues to think about, fast.
 
 Indeed here we also do follow their wanderings in the cold Antarctic  
 deserts with a strange mix if anxious and pleasent feelings and we  
 enjoy so much their extraordinary findings.
 
 I foresee a superb and very original exhibit of cold wonders in  
 Ensisheim soon. And what a lecture in perspective!
 You can't miss this!
 
 The other mistake I want to correct is the name of Vinciane, one of  
 the important leading members of the Antarctic expedition.
 Her family name is well DEBAILLE, not Debienne.
 Thanks Martin, thanks Etienne.
 
 Best wishes,
 
 Zelimir

   ENSISHEIM ?METEORITE 2013? NEWS
   (January 26, 2013)
 
   Dear meteorite friends  Meteorite-Central List
 
   Please find here the preliminary news concerning the 14th edition of
   our meteorite show ?Ensisheim-Meteorite 2013?, expecting this will
   reach you in time before you start the next ?Tucson blast? where most
   of you who live ?overseas? (and from the vast world as well) will
   gather soon.
 
   This info completes the official flyer that will be ready in a couple
   of weeks and that I will be glad to forward you individually, upon
   request.
 
   Further show details will be also sent to the List in a couple of
   months, as every year. Here are just the main changes useful for those
   wishing to book tables and foresee specific arrangements.
 
   SHOW DATES:
 
   Saturday June 22 (9:30-18:00) and Sunday June 23 (9:30-16:00), 2012
   (the weekend preceding the ?Mineral  Gem? show that is held in Ste
   Marie-aux-Mines, relatively nearby (~ 80 km), with Friday June 21 as
   the ?dealer?s day?).
 
   SHOW LOCATION:
 
   Exceptionally this year, THE SHOW LOCATION MUST BE CHANGED!
 
   Indeed, the famous Regency Palace which is the usual and unavoidable
   place to set the show, is subject to heavy works that unfortunately
   will not be completed by the due date.
 
   While the external buildings are expected to be reconditioned, the
   interior halls will by no means be accessible in June: all the rooms
   and corridors will be restored and repainted while an elevator (lift)
   will be built so as to facilitate the rise and handling of your heavy
   meteorite boxes in future. (Hey, never worry, the famous medieval
   spiral staircase will stay untouched).
 
   Naturally in 2014, for the 15th Anniversary of the show coinciding
   with the 30th Anniversary of the Confraternity of Guardians creation,
   a brand renovated Regency Palace will welcome you again!
 
   For 2013 (only) we have obtained another separate building called
   ?FOYER St MARTIN?, which is located quite close (about 350 m) to the
   Regency palace, and just separated from the ?Domaine du Moulin? hotel
   by the main street (distance ~150 m).
 
   You can find the place, the building picture and the access map in the
   following link:
 

  http://www.jds.fr/agenda/manifestations/expo-bourse-aux-meteorites-2013-a-ensisheim-53539_A
 
   The ?Foyer? consists in one large 18.6 x 12 meter room, resembling the
   Regency main hall, though larger.
   

Re: [meteorite-list] . Re: Advert / NWA 7397 (MARS) ONLY $200/g

2013-02-11 Thread Michael Farmer
5-6 kilos, at least we cleared that up, the fact that there were many more 
pieces found.
$200 gram is extraordinary price. Of course, quality and condition is 
important. If you want fresh black crust instead of kitty-litter, it may cost a 
tad more:)
I agree, load up the truck at that price.

 nwa7034 is one of the most important stone right now and abaout the tkw till

 most of it already in one hand , 
 so the fact that this stone will any day decrease is unlikely,
 the price on the field by hunters are more expenssive  than the price of sell 
 in usa in tucson,
 so  hunter glue to there stones and ask the same price in tucson ,
 so i do not think price will go down for this decade ,
 as for nwa7397 , there is not much of it left  5/6 kilos tkw and already 
 mostly sold from hunter and usa delaer got it!
 let's hope we find more from the mercury stone now!!
 an advice if you find nwa7397 for 200$ jump on it, it will goes up in few 
 weeks
 
 
 all the best and happy tucson guys enjoy the fun ,

 Wow, what a great deal, truly.

[meteorite-list] [Ad] Kentland Quench Melt, 100% PERFECT Kentland Shattercone, Breccia, and more for sale on eBay!

2013-02-11 Thread b1dunovant

Happy Monday Everyone,

Today I have the great pleasure of introducing some spectacular 
material to the community that in part comes from my personal 
collection as well as material collected on my most recent visit to the 
Kentland Crater in Kenltand, Indiana. If you do not care to read my 
rambling about the specimens I have, feel free to go directly to the 
eBay link, as the pictures speak volumes for themselves :-)



Firstly, I have been asked numerous times whether in all my trips to 
Kentland, whether I have found a 100% perfect shattercone fully intact 
from bottom to apex. The answer is yes, and I would like to make one 
very rare and special specimen available to the masses, in such a form 
that is worthy of any museum or collector, which demands the best of 
the best. This specimen has got it all, and I mean to the “T”. It is a 
100% perfect cone, preserved in very fresh limestone, has beautifully 
detailed striations, and the cherry on top….It has dual orientation!


1. The specimen weighs 435.5 grams and stands on its own in a position 
very indicative of its natural position when found in the field. As I 
said, if you demand the best of the best, look no further. I only have 
a few cones such as this, and they will never leave my collection. This 
is a rare opportunity, and worth having a look for sure. - 
http://tinyurl.com/c4qdmmo




Next, and just as awesome (to me at least) is a new highly altered 
material I found at Kentland my last trip after having searched for two 
straight days. It appears to show a matrix the result of some serious 
heat induced plastic flow, which formed a dike with clast of a breccia 
from a zone below of what looked to be a brecciated basement material 
and a layer of semi-course polymict breccias just above. The exposure 
was quite weathered at the surface so after much digging I was able to 
collect some very stable pieces.


2. This endcut weighs 803g and has been cut, sanded, and polished to 
reveal a matrix that reveals breccias clast floating and stretching to 
create shapes reminiscent of a tadpole in its earliest of stages, as 
the clast are stretched and melted. - http://tinyurl.com/cqchyup




Now this is a cool stone, even in its small form. It appears to be a 
quench material with amazing long quench xtals that are oriented from a 
common surface. On the backside, the piece shows very large T variation 
common to shocked rocks. Additionally, on the outer most surface of the 
green melt, is a vesicular foamy black melt material. As if all that 
wasn’t enough, there are also metal inclusions seen on the uncut 
portion which have left oxide stains, the metal of which has not yet 
been tested to prove iron.


3. The specimen weighs 51.8 grams, and is the rarest of the materials I 
have found thus far at the Kentland site. This is an extra special 
pieces, the other half of which, I have in my personal collection. You 
may never see something like this again from this site, or any, so if 
impactites are you fancy, this is the unrivaled cream of the crop! - 
http://tinyurl.com/cwprl6x





There are other very nice impactites listed, but for readings sake, I 
will let you discover those for yourself when taking a look at my 
offerings. I appreciate the consideration, and if you have made it this 
far in reading, my hat is off to you :-) I combine shipping on all 
orders as well! Have a good week and happy hunting to everyone!


My Best,
Brandon D.

[meteorite-list] AD SM30 magnetic susceptometer for sale

2013-02-11 Thread Pelé Pierre-Marie
Hello,

I'm selling a SM30 magnetic susceptometer in excellent condition. Never used on 
the field, only a few times in my room to study some stones.

For those who don't know, it's a portable device which helps you determine 
which kind of meteorite you have.  After some measurements, you have to enter 
several datas in an Excel spreadheet, including density, log(x) data given by 
the SM30. Then you've got a result that you can compare with an abacus.

Here are some websites who explain how the SM30 can be useful for the meteorite 
hunter :
http://www.caillou-noir.com/magnetic-susceptibility_SM30.htm


I wrote an article in Meteorite Magazine in february 2008 also if you want to 
read a user review.

Price including shipment worldwide (freight with tracking and insurance) : 1000 
euros or equivalent in dollars (about US$ 1340).

It's sold with case and notice, also including Excel spreadsheet

Kind regards,

Pierre-Marie Pelé

Re: [meteorite-list] Geological Survey of Canada fails to return piece of meteorite he discovered

2013-02-11 Thread Galactic Stone Ironworks
Hi Ed and List,

I am a bit confused here.  I didn't see the name of the meteorite
mentioned in the article, only that it was found in the Yukon in 1986.
 Is this an unclassified fall or find?

Also, a $1000 payout for a 243g meteorite works out to a mere $4/g -
which is pretty good for a highly-weathered ordinary chondrite find.
But a fresher, recent fall should fetch more than that.

Lastly, the guy sounds like some sort of conspiracy nut who claimed
GSC switched out his meteorite and gave him an imposter in return.
Then he demanded $12 million in damages, which was denied.

BTW - is the $1000 award tax-free?

Best regards,

MikeG
