Hi List,

Before I get to the new offerings, a quick note - I have been having
stubborn issues with my store checkout.  It is acting up for some

or overcharges for shipping, then please contact me via email and let
me know - I will finish the transaction via email if the checkout

Re: [meteorite-list] Katol classification and Sahara 03500 + Sahara 03505

[Michel FRANCO]

Hello Bernd and James, and List.

I have decided last month to come back to meteorites, pure coincidence! I have 
spent my last 5 years in photovoltaïcs. Photons and meteorites both fall from 
the sky, I do not feel having changed too much of activity!!

Back to  James's  question.

Sahara 03500 is still in my collection, one complete slice, the main mass and 
it should be examined in conjunction with  " sister meteorite" Sahara 03505 
which is pure sulfide iron of same composition as the 03500 sulfide iron clasts 
of Sahara 03500. And no relicts chondrules in Sahara 03500, so far.
( I have not said that these 2 meteorites are paired !!! but in my eyes these 2 
meteorites come from same parent object, at least visually, they were found not 
far in the Sahara, and the only other iron sulfide are Antarctic meteorites.)

I did not find record of Katol fall in Met bull. ( Bernd help needed as usual 
!!!)

Some more about  Sahara 03500 aka Tassa Mahchi, 

http://www.caillou-noir.com/TassaMahchi.htm and please click on the Clermont 
university link on that page.

I will try to post better picts on that site when I open my meteorite storage 
at home.

Have a good week end.

Best regards.

Michel Franco

Objet : [meteorite-list] Katol classification

Hi everyone,

I was browsing David Weir's meteorite pages when I came upon the page for 
Sahara 03500, a primitive achondrite. While none of the photos I could find of 
this meteorite were very high-quality, it seems to me that this is the same 
kind of material as the Katol, India fall from May of last year. Any thoughts 
on this?

Re: [meteorite-list] (AD) METEORITES FOR SALE

[Don Merchant]

Hi Arnold. Why do you say you do not see the prices coming down anytime 
soon? There overpriced right now and there is plenty and plenty more that 
will be found. Its an ordinary chondrite no less! Those that can't wait a 
bit, of course its going cost you an arm and a leg to be the first on the 
block to have one. Curious to know what you paid for your piece! All I can 
say is, and no offence to anyone out there, is please do not sell your piece 
of Chelyabinsk. Keep it locked away in your collection as I do not want it 
in mine. Again I will wait until the craze calms down and or another Fall 
happens so as to take away the price and attention of this Chelyabinsk fall. 
I will wait when I truly know the Dealer and above all else PROOF that what 
I bought is the real deal. Call me cautious, call me carefull, call me an 
idiot, but I will play it safe on this one.

Re: [meteorite-list] (AD) METEORITES FOR SALE

[Michael Farmer]

Don, for once I sort of agree with Steve. 
I just returned from Russia, so I know all about the details on the ground.
This is the most important meteorite fall in modern history, type is of no 
concern really.
While prices on eBay are premium, the pieces for sale are all superb, collected 
in -30 -20f weather, still in deep freeze,  pristine. I have seen pieces 
already oxidized that were thawed improperly, still covered in ice or snow, and 
thus beginning to rust.
All the material found after 3-6 ft of snow melts will be heavily damaged.
Furthermore, driving down the strewn-field, it is mostly heavy birch and pine 
forests, and 3 foot high grasslands, not farmland! So when that snow is gone, 
and that grass stands up, forget it. You cant swing a detector in that terrain. 
It is an LL chondrite, low metal anyway, detectors don't work well on this 
meteorite unless almost touching the stone.
While plenty more will be found, it may not be nearly as much as what we 
thought (I admit I was wrong:). When the snow melts, we will see what happens, 
but Russian government and scientists all working on it (I was in the 
laboratory a week ago). 
If you want flawless clean unweathered material, now is the time.
After the melt, it will look like a different meteorite.

Re: [meteorite-list] (AD) METEORITES FOR SALE

[Graham Ensor]

Hi Don..Mike...will definitely be interesting to see what happensI
will be forever grateful to the very generous and well respected
collector who let me have my 23g sample collected within 3 days of the
fall.

Quick somebody buy Mirkos big 90ish g piece at $30/g. They sell often
for over $60/g at the moment on ebay...so you could sell off half of
it and wind up with 40g left at no costnow that would be the real
dealand it's freshwish I could do it at the momentperhaps
gone buy now though. I'm really on the lookout for a range of smaller
pieces that show different aspects of the fall and the makeup of the
meteorite .

It was great following your adventure out there Mike.

Re: [meteorite-list] (AD) METEORITES FOR SALE

[Michael Farmer]

Alex, again, this is always a gambling game, buy early, perhaps pay high, 
perhaps price will drop, perhaps not. 

Lets see some facts.
1: 100% sure, 2 meters melting snow and ice will not help LL5 chondrite's looks.

2: Whole thing may be shut down.

3: Most important fall of modern age, all  on camera, more than 1500 wounded, 
buildings collapsed, tens of thousands of windows blown out, all caught on 
camera for you to enjoy day after day with your piece of that history-making 
event.

4: Everyone on the planet with a tv has seen this meteorite, most want some, 
including every Russian. Do you think they are not buying and for big money? I 
have some experience in losing my deals to people who paid far more than me:).

5: Well, how much Sutter's Mill, Ash Creek, Mifflin, Park Forest, Battle 
Mountain etc etc etc do you see on the market? All gone.

"You's put's yo money on the table and you's throws the dice and we's see's 
where they lands".
Old southern black saying :)
Fitting for this game of the century.

 Hello again list. I hope you are all well. I finally got my 7 gram
 Chelyabinsk stone. I have never seen a more beautiful and black fusion
 crust. This is a fall where I do not see the prices going down anytime
 soon. This a real historic fall sen by the whole world. Well anyway I
 have a few interesting meteorites for sale, so here we go with out
 further ado.

[Alexander Seidel]

I am inclined to agree with Mike, as far as the very early collected
meteorites from the Chelyabinsk fall, still in a pristine state, are
concerned. They are just beautiful samples of a fall of the century!

[BTW: don´t forget, guys, there were some falls in recent years in your
continent, which also commanded quite high prices, regardless of their
classification...]

Well, just a thought, and time will tell!
