Oh no!

Fred was a wonderful person with a great attitude and a ready smile. I had 
the pleasure to share some fun times with him drinking margaritas in ET's 
room in Tucson and going out to dinner.


My condolences to his family and friends. He will be very much missed. ☹

Fellow Members,

It is with great sorrow that I inform you that fellow member Fred Olsen has 
left us.
Fred died yesterday in a boating accident doing one of the many things he 
loved while on a trip with friends and family in Oregon.


This is a great loss for all of us; Fred was a great friend.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Re: [meteorite-list] Skull Carved Out of an Iron Meteorite

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

As a meteorite hunter, collector and one who shares with the scientific 
community, collectors, museums and others, I can say that most who are tasked 
with cutting any meteorite preserve the cuttings to be sold in small pieces and 
even the cutting dust and metal shavings are saved and used in a variety of 
ways. As an artist I can appreciate the workmanship and beauty of the skull and 
wish I had some of the ancient artifacts made from meteoritic materials.

Best Regards,
Greg

Guess the real questionis where did the scrap go?  I can admire the

than i will ever be lucky enough to tuck into my collection.

Hopefully this skull will wind up in a museum and be preserved for hundreds

Adam,
Since you keep suggesting that it was Greg's doing, and not yours...

"The Hupé Collection" self-paired a medium and a fine octahedrite.
Different bandwidths, different structures, different types of
inclusions.  One was a fresh, sculpted, fusion-crusted iron.  The
other was a round, weathered lump.  The photos on ebay were enough to
tell they were different.  "The Hupé Collection" said they were the
same.

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=17885

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php?code=33524

These mistakes are surfacing on the POD, from well known collectors who
*trusted you.*  With "Hupé Collection" labels that are *wrong.*

That is indefensible.

You never even reached out to Bernd and the other buyers to let them
know of the mistake, after you knew of it?  Or did Bernd miss your
email?

In response, you're "accusing me" of...making 100% certain that my
samples were what they were, via SEM.  Most of the material that I
didn't keep went to labs, and they were presumably grateful to get NWA
7034 at less than a third of what other sellers were charging.

None of my material was misrepresented.  Not one milligram.

Pointing out that I *got it right* isn't exactly a good rebuttal.
Especially when you're okay with other scientists doing nothing more
than *eyeballing* your own stones to claim they're paired.  I
literally did more to verify my NWA 7034 than you did to verify your
NWA 1110.

Oh, and the Nom. Com. essentially did away with type specimen
requirements for paired DCA meteorites some time ago.

Read the rules.  Section 7.1 (g).

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/docs/nc-guidelines.pdf

If you want to get a new piece of [anything paired] approved, all you
need is data.  No type specimen is required.

You say that self-pairing is bad.  I point out that you messed it up.
In response, you point out that I paired some material correctly, as
though it's somehow the same or worse.  And you push "rules" that
no one follows -- and that don't even exist.

It's still -

Thank you for forwarding the info for Zelimir, Anne.  I look forward to 
setting up my table once again, never know what I'll bring this years. ;-) I 
think this may be my 10th year selling at the Ensisheim Show!


I look forward to seeing everyone there, always a family of friends dealing 
in meteorites and enjoying French cuisine and spirits.


See you all soon!

Hello all List members

The Ensisheim Show is barely 6 weeks away, and here is everything you need 
to know about it directly from the organizer, Zelimir Gabelica.
Please email him very soon if you have questions. Or you can email me and I 
will try to answer them.

19th “ENSISHEIM METEORITE 2018” Show news for dealers (May 02, 2018)

Dear meteorite friends,

As already announced earlier this year, the 19th meteorite show is 
exceptionally and provisionally moved to another nearby building, due to 
important work being done in the Palais de la Regence where an elevator is 
being installed. This works will not be finished until early in 2019.
This clearly supposes that next year, the Show will by all means take place 
again in the unavoidable Palais de la Regence Palace to celebrate in a 
worthwhile manner the 20th anniversary of the Show.


Unfortunately, the genuine Ensisheim meteorite, normally in the Regency 
museum, will not be visible this year, but a life-size plaster cast will be 
displayed in the Gymnasium hall.


The address of the provisional show hall is:

Gymnase Communal, 20, Rue des Tourterelles, F-68190 ENSISHEIM.

The new “Sports Complex” is located in the middle of a large park, about 250 
m (« as the crow flies”) from the Palais de la Regence.


The map (see attachment) is showing the Gymnasium location in respect to the 
Palais de le Regence. Just follow the arrows if you are walking or driving.
The previously announced itinerary through the Rue de Colmar is also correct 
but not advised because of street works.


The 2 main buildings (the Gymnasium and the Elisatia halls) as well as the 
parking places will be clearly signposted.


The “Gymnase Communal” consists in a large 40 x 20 m sports hall where all 
the tables are aligned along the walls and also in two double rows 
surrounding the middle “Consignment Room” including a small bookshop table.

Something resembling the Munich show layout.

All tables (still 160 x 80 cm) are equivalent but barely lit by sunlight 
through skylights so additional lights of your own are strongly recommended.
Please bear in mind that only LED bulbs are acceptable, with a maximum power 
of 100 watt per table. Other bulbs are henceforth prohibited.


I will try to arrange the layout of the tables as it was in the main Regency 
room, respecting as much as possible the presence of the usual neighbors in 
each case.
The new hall is large enough to accommodate all the 2017 participants and 
about another dozen of possible newcomers.


It has always been our policy to give to all past dealers priority when it 
came to reserving the table(s) they had the preceding year. Those who did 
not come in 2017 have lost their priority and should consider themselves as 
“newcomers”.


However, since this year we could set up 70 tables in the new hall, I am 
confident that most of the newcomers who asked for tables will get 
accommodated.
Those of you, who had booked tables in 2017, please tell me quickly whether 
(or not) you confirm your coming again this year. If yes, specify how many 
tables you want to rent.
I insist that if you cannot make it this year, you should notify me that you 
wish to cancel. This is very important and absolutely needed so I can 
immediately assign tables to those who are on the waiting list.
Contrary to the regular exhibitors, tables for newcomers are attributed on a 
“first come, first served” basis.


Table specification:
The new hall can accommodate 70 tables, all equal in size (160 x 80 cm).
Price per table (not per meter !) as in 2017: (1 table = 170 euro; 2 tables 
= 320 euro; 3 tables = 450 euro; 4 tables = 600 euro).

Payment should be done, as usual, at the reception desk.
Cash in euros. French checks tolerated, no credit cards.
(Note: payment conditions will be reviewed for the 20th show in 2019)

For table reservation, just e-mail me:  zelimir.gabel...@uha.fr

Nobody can enter the Gymnasium

Since when is it a requirement that EVERYTHING or ANYTHING on this list be 
related to meteorite "classification"? HINT: It is not a requirement... 
Strike 1



This is NOT an advertisement, but a throwback report (to when meaningful 
information was routinely shared on this list), on the "meteorite market". 
Something old time list members would know about but very few of the pump 
and dump, fly-by-night dealer/collector wannabes would know.  Can't give Big 
John this one either; Strike 2



I'll leave Big John wondering as to how many bitcoins were used in "criminal 
endeavors" last month unless this was a bit of mindless liberal rhetoric. I 
will still score this a strike for breaking the rules of logical debate. 
Strike 3



Inquiring minds want clarification.  I don't follow the list much anymore 
but I missed the part where someone made "Big John" the list sheriff, little 
alone a member of the meteorite posse...just saying.So Big John,  3 straight 
strikes all of your own doing... BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE A NEW RECORD! I am 
sure that somewhere someone is laughing out loud. No joy in Mudville. lol.

I am glad to have invested in such a project not realizing the full
upward potential in a secondary market.

It proves, once again, the real value of proper classification and
provenance otherwise this lunar material would have never been
considered for such a project.

[meteorite-list] Hupe Collection Holiday Sale - Nature's Vault - AD

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear List Members,

In the spirit of the holidays and Cyber Monday online sale offers, I would 
like to have an inventory wide Super Sale that will last through the end of 
the year.  This will give everyone plenty of time to make offers on anything 
from my web site, Nature's Vault.  This will also be similar to my 'Best 
Offer Takes It' sales that I've had in the past. In addition to those on my 
site, I also have dozens of Officially classified meteorites that are 
already sliced and ready to offer, just haven't had time over the last 
several years to load on web site as I've been working on so many different 
projects, including recent lobbying County Commissioners and other 
politicians concerning my community's infrastructure failures resulting in 
flooding and washed out roads. Kind of fun speaking publicly at these 
meetings and getting directly involved!


Please make offers Off List and I'll try my best to reply as quickly as I 
can. I'm still unpacking everything I safeguarded from Hurricane Irma. While 
I did sustain some flood damage, not a single meteorite got wet!


Thank you in advance for your offers and/or inquiries as to what other 
meteorites I have. I think you can search the Meteoritical Bulletin for the 
dozens of officially accepted meteorites I've submitted over the last 13 
years I've lived in Florida, much just waiting for your offers! These will 
all be shown as submitted by 'G. Hupe' or 'Greg Hupe' and dating back to 
2004 and post NWA 3000 in number.

Re: [meteorite-list] Dr. Art Ehlmann

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

My deepest condolences to Carol and Art's family. I was very honored to call 
Art a friend, mentor and inspiration. As with others sentiments, he was one of 
the most gentle and caring individuals I have ever known. I will miss him 
greatly and will aspire to be like him; offer knowledge, kindness and gratitude 
towards Like-minded folks.

Rest well, Art, may your beautiful star forever shine upon us all.

Your friend,
Greg Hupe

Omg, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard...,,, YOU justifying YOUR. 
'marriage'!! You, my ex brother, have Very serious issues that I can no longer 
mask for you that I have done over all these years. You are lashing out ever 
sense I dumped my financial and personal support of you. If you've squandered 
everything I put into your pocket,... sad for you and your original 'family' 
partners. Go enjoy your "rejuvenated hot springs" as you quoted four years 
ago... that, or go have fun rambling over "Lithic scatter", "Meteorites", "Gold 
nuggets", and whatever else you brag about having after spending your partners 
shares... Bring It.

I like how you continue to bury yourself as illustrated a few days ago... "...

For the record... I would not feel safe around you or your cohorts because of

LoL Very well documented in 'History' now... I didn't need to 'own' it in order 
to 'broker' it for you... 'and your partners, relatives of yours through 
marriage.' I have personally placed every single complete slice of NWA 5000 
into amazing collections around the world, even before I bailed out the 
disastrous action you were about to perpetuate!

While you destroy the 'Legendary' NWA 5000 on a weekly basis breaking down 
complete slices, I have 'alone' protected it from what you had planned four 
years ago, hammer time after sent back to Moroccan owners (at the time) for 
lack of payment from your original group. Sounds like you need another cruise 
to the Bermuda Triangle!

I love my health insurance... one choice where I live in sunny and warm 
Florida. I happily pay a massive premium every year for quality health care 
and not try to be a burden on fellow tax payers. I love America... land of 
freedom to choose how you conduct you life. ;-)

I thought this was about land grabs, not a crappy healthcare system that has
more than doubled in costs in Arizona this year.  I am self employed and do
not take any government subsidies is the reason it is so expensive for us.
I could let my wife go without and pay the fines (taxes) is the only choice
I see.  My wife has no preexisting conditions so we would be much better off
with a privately offered HSA.  In any case, healthcare should be left up to
the invidividual not the government in my opinion.

Now back to the outrageous land grabs occurring at an historic rate!   200
acres could protect the historic monument yet over a million acres was taken
from us.

Adam, why would you be "forced" to put your wife on Obamacare? I'm just
curious. There is nothing whatsoever forcing you to do anything. You are
free and clear to select any medical insurance offered. No one is forced
into Obamacare, so that's just bullshit.
Why would you get reimbursed for a hospital visit? You pay your copay or
decidable and they pay the rest. That's all.

Sure, I complain about other things but I do something about it.  If I
want something, I will work 80 hours a week to get it.  I once worked 14
years straight running a company without taking a single sick or vacation
day off. I even brokered deals on the phone with sterile gauze in my mouth
right after getting four wisdom teeth pulled without making any excuses.
My idea of a vacation was presenting our US made products at a trade show
in Las Vegas once a year.

On the other hand, most of what I earn goes to others either in the way of
being ripped off by people I once trusted, taxes or charity.   I prefer
charity.  Most of those valuables you mention in warehouses were donated,
seven truck loads this year alone.

I enjoy meteorite hunting, just like I used to enjoy treasure hunting
before it became overregulated.  Hunting for meteorites is not cheap thus
the proper equipment which happens to be expensive.  Most successful
hunters I read about have invested an enormous amount, if not in
equipment, then in time.

As far as land goes, this is my new career so I am keenly interested in
it. Most invest in some form of retirement.  I have no faith in 401Ks or
Social Security so choose to invest in land for the time being.  If there
happens to be gold or other valuable mineral resources, I enjoy working
the land to extract a small amount to help offset the enormous investment
involved with such endeavors.

And as far as Obamacare is concerned, I was forced to put my wife on this
worthless healthcare "insurance."  I was lucky to keep my existing plan
which actually pays out benefits.   We have paid tens of thousands of
dollars into the "Affordable Healthcare Act" for my wife and have not
collected a single penny in reimbursement despite visits to the hospital.

Happy hunting while you still can,

Adam

Thank you everyone for the very nice compliments on the Bolivia adventure. 
It was exhilarating and I am only now catching my breath and trying to get 
caught up. These kind of trips tend to take a toll on one, but it is good to 
share when possible. Glad you enjoyed the ride along!


Best Regards,
Greg

Bolivia Meteorite Adventure
By Gregory M. Hupe


On November 20, 2016 a massive meteorite event took place over Aiquile,
Bolivia at approximately 5:00 p.m. local time.  While still daylight,
Quechua Indian eyewitnesses saw ‘corkscrew’ smoke trails and heard
‘whooshing’ noises followed by sonic booms and then stones literally falling
at their feet!

Michael Farmer and I went to Aiquile to hunt for meteorites and attempt to
acquire stones from the inhabitants. Things didn’t quite work out that way…

Welcome to Aiquile Bolivia.

It would take us over two weeks after the fall to fly to Bolivia due to Mike’s
yearly show commitment in Japan.  Just 24 hours at home after returning from
the show, Michael flew to Florida to meet me.  On December 8th we began our
journey to South America from Miami.  Our travels would take us by air to
Aiquile by way of La Paz and then on to Cochabamba and then by private hire
to Aiquile.  With no sleep for over 30 hours of travel from home to the
dusty town near the strewnfield, we were exhausted but too excited to rest.
We went right to work meeting with fellow meteorite hunter, Dario Ruiz, who
had been there for two weeks.  He introduced us to individuals about hunting
for meteorites or buying some, but our hopes were quickly dampened by the
news of the town’s government putting up road blocks to deny access to the
strewnfield.  It turns out that the officials were confiscating stones from
the Quechua finders which put them in a panic and afraid to talk to
outsiders.  Things quickly became complicated.

Cactus are a common beauty in the strewnfield.
http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/AiquileBolivia/AiquileBolivia7.jpg

We realized we were not going to be able to hunt for stones ourselves
without the threat of arrest, or far worse, physical harm from protective
villagers we were told may use force to stop outsiders from hunting.
Knowing this, we immediately went to ‘Plan B’ and were granted secret
meetings with owners of pieces from the fall.  To our thrill and amazement,
we were able to see several stones ranging from small broken fragments to
large kilo-sized pieces.  Throughout the 48-hours we were on site we were
told of several large pieces included a 50-kilo ‘Puzzle Stone’ which we
believe to be just rumor as is consistent with most falls.

On our second day we had an early start with a scheduled meeting to see some
stones, but being on ‘Bolivia time’ we sat for several hours waiting,
waiting and waiting some more.  To keep us from leaving and going to other
contacts, our new friend entertained us with some guitar play dressed in his
caballero ranch clothing made of javelina, lama and other durable animal
skins.  Aiquile is known as the ‘Capitol of Charango’ (guitar) where the
guitar is manufactured. It was nice to enjoy this flavor of music high in
the mountain village.

for some sightseeing around the neighborhood before getting some rest before 
yet another 3:00 a.m. wake up call to catch a flight.

After departing La Paz, with a quick stop in Santa Cruz, we flew over the 
jungles of Brazil, Colombia and the northern Caribbean coast over 
Barranquilla.  Next was a narrow of emerald-colored sea that led us over 
Jamaica and over central Cuba before delivering us to Miami.

While most of the meteorites recovered from this fall were confiscated by 
the municipal government, some of those will be put on public display in the 
local museum.  This means that of the very few that were legally obtained 
before any overnight laws potentially go into effect, very little will be 
available to the collecting community.  While we were prepared and had to 
bug out early due to a challenging and fluid situation, we overcame the 
difficulties and returned home safely.  The Bolivia meteorite adventure was 
a quick thrill ride composed of; Excitement, Frustration, Disappointment, 
Danger, Reward and most importantly – A trip we will not soon forget!

[meteorite-list] OSIRIS-REx Launch

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear List and OSIRIS-REx Team,

I can't believe its been four years since the heavens gifted California with 
meteorites similar to the mineral makeup of the asteroid the sample return 
mission of OSIRIS-REx aims to bring back to Earth. I very much look forward 
to next weeks VIP events and launch with my friends attending. Even though I 
live in Florida and attend almost all launches from the Cape, this one will 
be extra special to me!


Here is a 'little bit' on how me, Mike Farmer and Robert Ward were able to 
help with the project:

See you attendees next week!

Dear List Members,

I would like to share the latest on my ongoing NWA 5000 project that has
been primarily focused at the Yale Peabody Museum for the last year. This
time I would like to thank Yale Peabody Museum artist, Linda Nietlisbach,
for doing such an incredible job painting the main mass replica. It is size
and weight accurate and so lifelike that it is difficult to discern the
difference between the replica and the actual meteorite!

Can you determine which one is the actual NWA 5000 main mass...

Please enjoy and do not forget that the NWA 5000 main mass display is open

by and enjoy the world class Peabody Museum next time you are at Yale
University!

Greg Hupe-  NWA 5000 FACTS - not YOUR facts; read below
there is NO mention of you or anyone else except Adam Hupe and the 
scientists that did the classification!


I do not appreciate your vulgar language you posted towards me; I expect a 
public apology from GREG HUPE and I would urge ART JONES to ban you, Greg 
Hupe, from our list based upon your pathetic behavior which has done much 
harm to our meteorite collecting community and this METLIST. Cursing is NOT 
PERMITTED by the rules of this list. VULGAR Greg; this is a public list read 
by many of the worlds top scientists and research and many respected 
collectors is this respectful to them.


As you accuse me of self-promoting my website that is laced with ads.

Greg Hupe, DO NOT GO TO MY SITE; you are a lazy information thief, too lazy 
and perhaps selfish to share anything of ANY VALUE but SELF Promotion/your 
sales promotions and self promotion- for the good of our community. You are 
NOT welcome any longer- stay out. I hate USERS and you fully fit the 
definition. To use curse works or make false accusations against a paying 
customer is an insane business practice. Greg do us a bigger favor and leave 
the meteorite community, we dont need you ilk.


Guess how many persons have ever said thank you for the information I 
provide for free? - less than 10 people in 9 years of operation. Guess how 
many have offered to donate or help in some way? 3 List members, John 
Higgins, Marc Fries, Rob Matson. I have never received such as a DIME from a 
donation for 9 plus years of 7/20-24/365 news reporting and monitoring.



FYI, Greg I have spent likely more than $2000-3000 with you and with Adam 
maybe at most $30 so why would I take Adams side at all in this Luna Circus? 
Greg Hupe has publicly soiled his reputation through his actions- read the 
50 plus emails in the archives with the treatment he has shown to anyone 
that dare point out facts. Greg has become like a mad dog barking at the 
Moon. YOU have become sick from at least two very common diseases caused by 
meteorites, GREED and EGO... !


FACTS from THE MET BULL.-History: Found in July 2007 in southern Morocco and 
provided to Adam Hupé in October 2007.


My point Greg wast merely that HE3 is nothing new and proposals of mining it 
from the moon were published in 1972 by Dr. Schmitt. NWA 5000 plays NO ROLE 
whatsoever with HE3 mining or its conception period.

Hello List Members,

We would like to first introduce ourselves to you. My husband, Jeff, and I
became involved with meteorites last year when we partnered with Adam Hup?
in bringing home a beautiful and breathtaking meteorite, Northwest Africa
5000. We absolutely fell in love with meteorites and are excited about our
new venture.

Just this week we reopened our eBay store, Kalani_oftheheavens, making
available all of the remaining Northwest Africa 5000 slices, most have not
been on display until now. You may have seen some of these slices this year
at Anne Black?s room in Tucson, where we first announced NWA 5000. We
invite you to browse through our store and see all that is left, especially
if you were unable to visit Tucson last year. We currently have several
auctions up on eBay listed at 99 cents that Adam Hup? announced for us
earlier last week. Unfortunately, and for reasons unknown to us, the
auction listings did not show up in a timely fashion. Please be patient
with us as we work out the eBay kinks. We will be running weekly Sunday
auctions, so please stop by frequently to see what we have, there may be
some surprises!

Jeff and I are ?over the moon? about NWA 5000 and we feel quite fortunate to
be part of the meteorite community. Our mission is to uphold the same
standards you have come to expect while working with IMCA members. We look
forward to getting to know you all in the coming months.

Here is a link to our eBay store, kalani_oftheheavens:

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000

Dear John and List Members,

I am not about to take a direct bite of this nasty cheese being spread
around.

It seems that any item of virtue like the Bahia Emerald and Sue the TRex are
fraught with problems.   Most of these issues stem from greed and shameless
self-promotion which result in the truth becoming distorted.  It is
unfortunate that there are those who want to change the true history of NWA
5000 and make it about themselves.

For me, it has always been about the stone.  I went to great lengths to keep
the NWA 5000 history accurate.

Here is a link to the official NWA 5000 website.  Note: There is only one
image of myself buried at the back end of the website.  This site was
authored by me and proof read by professionals so the infomarmation,
although dated, is accurate for the time period in which it was written.

http://themeteoritesite.com/

For the record,  I have no partners in any of my current business dealings.
I find it preferable to work by myself and not depend on others other than
consulting.

Adam

I used to own a peace of NWA 5000, and I had always intended to replace that 
piece.  However, there has been SO MUCH talk of fraud, lawsuits, etc. as 
well as hateful, spiteful and crude communication about this meteorite 
lately, that I have started to feel like purchasing another piece of it 
would be tantamount to buying stolen property.


Honestly, I'm only half kidding about that... My perception of this 
meteorite, and the celebrated individuals who were a part of making it 
available to collectors and institutions, has been permanently marred by 
this seemingly endless exchange of sordid details and vulgarities.

Dear List Members,

Now that I am back from the two France shows and the Fourth of July holiday
weekend has wrapped up I would like to 'Officially' offer my NWA 5000
replicas. Since these are a Limited Edition, and I mean "Extremely Limited",
there are just a couple available. I sold the one I took to the Ensisheim
Show and it is destined for a World Class museum on the other side of the
globe from me. How cool is that?!

As mentioned in a post here June 14th, I interviewed and chose a
professional artist in the town where I live and she did a fantastic job on
these 'One-of-a-Kind' works of art. Thank you Judy! These were two years in
the making of my own personal time and great financial expense, not to
mention the dozens of hours of labor over a nine month period of time by my
artist.

Of the 'Limited' number of replicas I made of NWA 5000, most will be given
'Free of Charge' as a personal gift by me to my customers who purchased a
full slice or be kept in my personal collection (and of course the one I
gave to the Yale Peabody Museum!). My only hopes in making a couple of these
available for purchase is to recoup my great 'financial' expense in
producing them. I am sure my friends/clients will all appreciate my efforts
and gifts, a couple who have been patiently waiting for two years to receive
this compliment to their collections!

When I considered pricing these I kept in mind many things, first and
foremost was to keep them affordable and realistic. Considering all of the
financial and labor considerations, and the fact that these are all
'One-of-a-Kind' artworks, I believe I've priced these incredibly well and
affordable!

Please find below the link to my Nature's Vault web site where the images
are located. Be sure to click on the first replica image to see eight more
views of these dimensionally full-sized replicas. The weight is
approximately 40% of the original before cutting:

Dear List Members,

Very happy to announce the Public Display of the main mass of NWA 5000 at
the Yale Peabody Museum with special Babylonian Tablet with human 'Moon'
association! I am amazed and thrilled by the professionalism and style my
friends at Yale Peabody & ALL involved who have afforded me and OUR project.
Without them I could not be part of this! Thank you!!

I hope everyone and anyone interested in seeing a World-Class meteorite at
THE World-Class Yale Peabody Museum, please do so and hope to see you there!
Share photos!!! ;-)

In continued support and appreciation, I am giving all props to my local
Florida artist friend, Judy, for her fine work on a separate, yet parallel

Sat,July 16


Big Kahuna is offering a new unpaired lunar meteorite on eBay, NWA 10678. Dr 
Tony Irving analyzed and classified it, describing it as an UNPAIRED 
olivine-poor feldspathic breccia composed of angular mineral grains in a 
finer matrix. Dr Randy Korotev, research scientist specializing in lunar 
meteorites at Washington University in Saint Louis says, 'I think this one 
is unique.’ UNPAIRED meteorites are mineralogically and chemically UNIQUE 
and unlike any others in their classification.

Is the concerning the IMCA funds (a few thousand) that were missing several 
years ago? I know at one point you and or Greg apparently bought the IMCA 
when it's non profit status was no longer valid.

Adam,

I can no longer save you from yourself. Your self destructive behavior, 
your greed, your delusions are known by most everyone! You make that fake 
lunar meteorite salesman appear 'normal'! You are, and have always been, 
a miserable excuse for a human being, always so negative and stealing 
other's hard work without credit. You are simply a Masterful Manipulator 
who has finally been caught, many people have contacted me in private 
since your last public attack on me and have provided damning evidence 
against you. Take for instance that is was actually your 'Original' and 
'Current' business partner Jeff Krosschell who made the NWA 5000 mold and 
even babysat it in his own bedroom during the process. You sat there and 
smoked and watched like always.


You remember Jeff, right Adam? He is married to your wife's daughter... 
You know, the one's who you defrauded on the whole NWA 5000 story. You 
claimed and continue to claim to have made things 'right' with them 
wherein fact they have received "not one cent to this day" and were led 
to believe they were at fault as you coerced them into thinking they 
owned less than their rightful 50% ownership of 6.5 kilos in NWA 5000 (I 
purchased the returned 5 kilos directly from the Moroccan owners in 
2013). You clearly Defrauded your Business Partners, major mistake Number 
1!! Continued mistake and harassment from you towards me is now you are 
interfering with my business which has very harsh legal penalties that 
you have forced me to exercise and will do without pause. I will pursue 
and remedy this issue to the fullest extent of the law! You will be lucky 
to own a pair of shorts in order to pull out empty pockets by the time we 
are done, maybe you will be lucky and still have your freedom if
the judge is lenient on you. This time it will be Absolute & Final. I will 
no longer allow you to torment and harass me which has put me in the 
hospital twice for ulcers this year.


I've warned you for three years now, Leave Me Alone. You are incapable of 
listening to reason and make things right with your business partners, 
which are in fact your family and your wife's own daughter!! Your time 
behind the delusional and harassing keyboard are just about over. Time to 
say Goodbye to the Keyboard Kommander! Enjoy your sales of oriented gold 
nuggets and the freedom to use your John Deere lawn mower to rip out 
lithic scatter on your vacant desert plots while you have the funds for 
gas and the freedom to do so.


Let it be known that Adam's dumping of NWA 5000 on eBay over the last 2 
1/2 years is in clear viola

I've decided that I am going to bring a Class Action lawsuit against Adam.
Since his issues are so far spread and Global I have no choice on how to
shut him down. Anyone with Evidence & Experience please contact me privately

As mentioned, I am no longer putting up with the mouse who taunts me.

It is was actually your 'Original' and 'Current' business partner Jeff 
Krosschell who made the NWA 5000 mold and even babysat
it in his own bedroom during the process. You sat there and smoked and 
watched like always.


Give credit where it is due!!!

I have my own photos and like how Jeff's 'family' endearingly wrote a 
message on the box which holds the mold in which he did most of the labor. 
You remember Jeff and his wife don't you, Adam? She is your wife's 
daughter who you gleefully have tried to write out of the history of NWA

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Mold Making Images

Dear List Members,

Many have been asking what the NWA 5000 casting mold system looks like.
Here are a few images of the system I designed, created and build in 2007.
I chose accuracy over durability when building this first generation 
system.
I was going to take a first generation master casting and produce a mold 
for
mass production but this option has been taken away from me since a total 
of
at least 10 castings (7 a which were unauthorized) have already degraded 
the

master mold. The maximum for a master is five.

You only have one shot at perfection and the unauthorized multiple use of 
a
thermosetting polymer, which heats up the mold, has degraded the master 
mold

forever compromising the ability to make perfect replicas.

I ask in the future that people respect each others intellectual property.
I spent over 200 hours producing this mold, just to have it ruined in the
name of a few bucks,

Adam

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Mold Making Images

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

It is was actually your 'Original' and 'Current' business partner Jeff 
Krosschell who made the NWA 5000 mold and even babysat
it in his own bedroom during the process. You sat there and smoked and 
watched like always.


Give credit where it is due!!!

I have my own photos and like how Jeff's 'family' endearingly wrote a 
message on the box which holds the mold in which he did most of the labor. 
You remember Jeff and his wife don't you, Adam? She is your wife's daughter 
who you gleefully have tried to write out of the history of NWA 5000!

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Display at Yale Peabody & Replica News

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Adam,

I can no longer save you from yourself. Your self destructive behavior, your 
greed, your delusions are known by most everyone! You make that fake lunar 
meteorite salesman appear 'normal'! You are, and have always been, a 
miserable excuse for a human being, always so negative and stealing other's 
hard work without credit. You are simply a Masterful Manipulator who has 
finally been caught, many people have contacted me in private since your 
last public attack on me and have provided damning evidence against you. 
Take for instance that is was actually your 'Original' and 'Current' 
business partner Jeff Krosschell who made the NWA 5000 mold and even babysat 
it in his own bedroom during the process. You sat there and smoked and 
watched like always.


You remember Jeff, right Adam? He is married to your wife's daughter... You 
know, the one's who you defrauded on the whole NWA 5000 story. You claimed 
and continue to claim to have made things 'right' with them wherein fact 
they have received "not one cent to this day" and were led to believe they 
were at fault as you coerced them into thinking they owned less than their 
rightful 50% ownership of 6.5 kilos in NWA 5000 (I purchased the returned 5 
kilos directly from the Moroccan owners in 2013). You clearly Defrauded your 
Business Partners, major mistake Number 1!! Continued mistake and harassment 
from you towards me is now you are interfering with my business which has 
very harsh legal penalties that you have forced me to exercise and will do 
without pause. I will pursue and remedy this issue to the fullest extent of 
the law! You will be lucky to own a pair of shorts in order to pull out 
empty pockets by the time we are done, maybe you will be lucky and still 
have your freedom if the judge is lenient on you. This time it will be 
Absolute & Final. I will no longer allow you to torment and harass me which 
has put me in the hospital twice for ulcers this year.


I've warned you for three years now, Leave Me Alone. You are incapable of 
listening to reason and make things right with your business partners, which 
are in fact your family and your wife's own daughter!! Your time behind the 
delusional and harassing keyboard are just about over. Time to say Goodbye 
to the Keyboard Kommander! Enjoy your sales of oriented gold nuggets and the 
freedom to use your John Deere lawn mower to rip out lithic scatter on your 
vacant desert plots while you have the funds for gas and the freedom to do 
so.


Let it be known that Adam's dumping of NWA 5000 on eBay over the last 2 1/2 
years is in clear violation and 'legally' not his material as the rightful 
owners and original partners have not been remedied in this matter. I am a 
key witness to this effect and know everything very clearly!


My making of and the sales of the NWA 5000 replica is 100% legal and ALL 
Permissions have and were granted well before my announcements. Any and all 
'Tortious Interference' will be dealt with harshly, as in this clear case of 
Adam Libeling and Defaming me here in public!


Best Regards,
Greg

News


It is too bad the article is full of errors.  The original mold casting
system was created in 2007, not 2014.  I displayed it in Anne Blacks room at
Tucson in January of 2008.  The original Hupe Collection was started by me
in the late 1990's not 1990.  Greg did not come onboard until much later.

These castings are in clear violation of my copyright, artistic and
intellectual rights since I never authorized any castings made on my mold
released for public resale. Greg was given permission to create one replica
from my casting system, that I put over 200 hours into to make it perfect,
for promotional purposes only. These unauthorized copies put an immense
amount of  wear and tear on my molding system by mass producing them.  There
is only a very limited number of replicas that can be produced on the
original casting system before they start degrading and loose definition.

I wanted to make this statement public for the record.

Adam

[meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Display at Yale Peabody & Replica News

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear List Members,

Very happy to announce the Public Display of the main mass of NWA 5000 at 
the Yale Peabody Museum with special Babylonian Tablet with human 'Moon' 
association! I am amazed and thrilled by the professionalism and style my 
friends at Yale Peabody & ALL involved who have afforded me and OUR project. 
Without them I could not be part of this! Thank you!!


I hope everyone and anyone interested in seeing a World-Class meteorite at 
THE World-Class Yale Peabody Museum, please do so and hope to see you there! 
Share photos!!! ;-)


In continued support and appreciation, I am giving all props to my local 
Florida artist friend, Judy, for her fine work on a separate, yet parallel 
project: 
http://www.naturesvault.net/Images/NWA5000/NWA5000-ReplicaArticle.jpeg


Here is a repeat of last week's announcement of the NWA 5000 Replicas I have 
available:



Now that I am back from the two France shows and the Fourth of July holiday
weekend has wrapped up I would like to 'Officially' offer my NWA 5000
replicas. Since these are a Limited Edition, and I mean "Extremely Limited",
there are just a couple available. I sold the one I took to the Ensisheim
Show and it is destined for a World Class museum on the other side of the
globe from me. How cool is that?!

As mentioned in a post here June 14th, I interviewed and chose a
professional artist in the town where I live and she did a fantastic job on
these 'One-of-a-Kind' works of art. Thank you Judy! These were two years in
the making of my own personal time and great financial expense, not to
mention the dozens of hours of labor over a nine month period of time by my
artist.

Of the 'Limited' number of replicas I made of NWA 5000, most will be given
'Free of Charge' as a personal gift by me to my customers who purchased a
full slice or be kept in my personal collection (and of course the one I
gave to the Yale Peabody Museum!). My only hopes in making a couple of these
available for purchase is to recoup my great 'financial' expense in
producing them. I am sure my friends/clients will all appreciate my efforts
and gifts, a couple who have been patiently waiting for two years to receive
this compliment to their collections!

When I considered pricing these I kept in mind many things, first and
foremost was to keep them affordable and realistic. Considering all of the
financial and labor considerations, and the fact that these are all
'One-of-a-Kind' artworks, I believe I've priced these incredibly well and
affordable!

Please find below the link to my Nature's Vault web site where the images
are located. Be sure to click on the first replica image to see eight more
views of these dimensionally full-sized replicas. The weight is
approximately 40% of the original before cutting:

Re: [meteorite-list] Pot Coloring The Kettle Black

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

I completely agree and I 'Greg Hupe' have not posted to this thread that has 
nothing to do with meteorites.

I make comment here since someone earlier today mentioned 'Hupe brothers' and 
asked which is which... I do not post about discolored kettles and whatnot.

Best regards,

Re: [meteorite-list] In regards to NWA 10495

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Adam,

If you do to want to read nonsense, you should not write nonsense!

Your written accusations of libel is libel in itself against me. I highly 
suggest you stop while you are behind!

Everybody knows you AND Jeff Kroschell were/are partners and the ones who began 
the project. You dropped the ball and I picked it up years after you couldn't 
do it. I rescued the 'mission' and carried the ball across the finish line. 
Almost everyone is happy except YOU! YOU will never be happy unless you are 
writing 'nonsense' on the List.

Go spend all of the money I put in yours (and hopefully Jeff's family's) pocket 
and quit throwing it away on wasteful things!

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

Re: [meteorite-list] In regards to NWA 10495

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

John,

It matters not about the weight at this point. What matters is how she came 
aggressively charging out of left field because of the actions and aggressions 
caused by someone else's public actions towards me, all of which could have 
been settled 'politely' with a simple private email to me. They chose to make a 
spectacle of it and another decided to air his dirty laundry to be part of 
their hopeful public lynching of me.

New personnel at a new museum that hasn't opened yet or not, I will protect 
myself especially when only a couple people know the 'real' true story and 
their agendas, most has been publicly discussed on this thread so do not feel 
the need to join in on throwing me under the bus, John!

I'm very tired of this whole discussion, especially from those who do not know 
the whole truth, including the aggressors!

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

Thank you for mentioning that, as it was going to be my next reply.

I am truly saddened by your actions over the last several years. It is too bad 
that whatever has afflicted you has overtaken all sensibilities within you. 
Whatever it is, it is too bad you let it take my brother from me! I suggest you 
seek professional help, quickly!

Farewell dear brother, or whoever is in control of Adam's keyboard...

Dude,

I already told you and your lawyer the truth and your 'team' has wisely

Thank you all for the private and public congratulations to my work regarding 
NWA 5000.

I would especially like to thank everyone, even the negative posters, for the 
Free Advertising of my replicas. You haven't even seen them and they are 
already causing a Buzz! So Awesome!

I appreciate your endorsements and recognition! ;-)

The joke is how desperate Adam has become with his ever-changing signature, 
this time, 'The Original Hupe Collection'. How pathetic! You proclaimed your 
desertion of meteoritics several years ago. I suggest you listen you yourselves 
and go away!!

And absolutely "Yes", the truth is starting to come out thanks to your replies 
to my post about my replicas and me in general. I sold EVERY complete slice of 
NWA 5000 ever placed into any collection. You have only sold small and smaller 
pieces over the years. 

In the meantime, you have a nice day!

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear Barbara,

First, do do attempt to libel me with your statement, '...making your 
misrepresentations...' I do not take kindly to uninformed statements from what 
you perceive as 'my knowledge', whether I wrote similar or not.

Your first post to the Meteorite List was unprofessional, aggressive, defensive 
(for the museum you represent) and just all around nasty and uncalled for.

For the record, in ONLY the last week was I informed about NWA 10495, and have 
it confirmed by Tony Irving (same one who consulted on my Yale display), and 
without physical proof of Kalahari, it is still a myth until a particular 
dealer thinks he can draw it out of the shadows and sell it to the Maine 
Mineral Museum (You and/or the company you represent).

I have not 'misrepresented' NWA 5000 in any way! I've worked too hard for the 
benefit of everyone, especially a very ungrateful ex-business partner, my 
estranged brother.

I suggest you all pay attention to your own business. Life is too short to 
continue messing with me! I will not tolerate being , libeled, slandered, used 
or accused.

Good luck with the opening of the Maine Mineral Museum this fall which with 
boast a large collection of NWA meteorites. I look forward to carefully reading 
your description in the displays!

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Limited Edition - World's Largest Lunar [meteorite] Replica

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Yes, Please nobody confuse me with my brother, Adam. Do not ever think I am 
like that!

I bailed him out on NWA 5000 in June 2013. I have represented Adam and his long 
time and current NWA 5000 partner, Jeff Kroschell, well before I rescued the 
majority of the mass from being returned to the Moroccan owners to be utterly 
destroyed and spread around after the hammer, not unlike Adam is doing now with 
his eBay sales. A 2-year and growing disgrace!

Even before I rescued my brother and the meteorite itself, I sold the (at the 
time) the only complete slice to the benefit of Adam AND his partner, Jeff 
Kroschell. During mine and Adam's NWA 5000 'partnership' (I say that loosely) I 
sold other complete slices which Adam and presumably Jeff Kroschell benefitted 
equally to me. Adam dropped the ball after about 2010 and he let NWA 5000 
become stagnant. Me, and my company, Nature's Vault, Inc., represented and 
professionally sold NWA 5000 to some of the 'world's most influential' 
individuals with my hard work and expense. In addition to my purchasing 50% of 
the remaining mass in June 2013 directly from the rightfully impatient 
Moroccans owners for non-payment, I was also given access to the intellectual 
rights to the web site and the mold which Jeff Kroschell and Adam made 
together! To this day my ungrateful and threatening brother benefits from my 
directing people to HIM by my worldly efforts with NWA 5000. I owe him nothing!!

I am very proud of all of my efforts in my NWA 5000 representation and ethical 
sales! I will not be bullied by opportunists and ungrateful users!

For the record, in ONLY the last week was I informed about NWA 10495, and have 
it confirmed by Tony Irving (same one who consulted on my Yale display), and 
without physical proof of Kalahari, it is still a myth until a particular 
dealer thinks he can draw it out of the shadows and sell it to the Maine 
Mineral Museum (Barbara in this thread).

I have not 'misrepresented' NWA 5000 in any way as the very unprofessional, and 
nearly slanderous acquisitions manager has accused me of in this thread. I will 
not be bullied by her or her dealer either!

I've worked too hard for the benefit of everyone, especially a very ungrateful 
ex-business partner, my estranged brother.

I suggest you all pay attention to your own business. Life is too short to 
continue messing with me! I will not tolerate being slandered, used or accused. 
Get over yourselves!!

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Welcome to the Meteorite List Barbara!

First congratulations on what has been sold to you and your museum, I am very 
well aware of what you have been sold and the new Maine Mineral Museum. I am 
glad you came out in public asking everyone, including all of the Moroccan 
dealers, to contact you directly to save you money on Moroccan purchases! Helps 
everyone and the Moroccans make more profits!!

Each 'NWA 5000' I offer was individually painted by hand, by an artist, 
therefore each one is unique and a 'One-of-a-Kind' work of art. Plus I did much 
personal hand work on them! Thank you for your interest!

I look forward to visiting your museums treasures when it opens in the fall!! :)

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

ENSISHEIM “METEORITE 2016” LAST NEWS (June 13, 2016)


Dear meteorite friends, Meteorite-Central List, IMCA members and members of 
other new meteorite associations,


Here is the last series of news for the 17 th “Ensisheim-Meteorite 2016” 
show edition. This completes my first letter “Ensiheim News” sent on April 
26 (still available on request).


I believe everybody could also reach the links to the corresponding flyers 
included in the Ensisheim city web sites (if not, let me know and I’ll be 
glad to send them attached, off List)


TABLE RENTING AND RESERVATION

This year, the demand for tables was high and we have added 4 more tables to 
the usual set of 52 tables, so that you will find dispersed 56 “regular” 
tables along with 6 window-tables in the consignment room, all being now 
fully booked.
The Regency Palace presents the usual room alignment and, in addition this 
year, we have prepared and arranged the front of a new small room, called 
“Spiess room”, located on the right side of the entrance door. While they 
enter the show, all visitors are guided to inevitably pass through this room 
and visit the 4 very interesting tables (3 new dealers).
For memory, after the “Pas Perdus” space, you enter the “Egloff room”, then 
“The Hall” (Anne Black & consignment tables), to end up at the big “Regency 
room”.


After correction and completion of my last compilation, we have this year 81 
dealers (including their family and assistants).

Subject: [meteorite-list] Major Find!

Hello List,

Less than an hour ago, I returned to Las Vegas with a some experienced friends 
after we completed an "overnight" trip to the north. One of the smarter of us 
had come up with a way to drive in the afternoon to an area of promise and be 
on site at daybreak and hunt until, it was reasoned, people would be in the 
area and we would be subject to whatever. 

At a little after sunrise this morning, and less than an hour into searching, 
one of us made what we all agree might be a "major' find. We also agreed that 
one of us could say something censored to the List without "letting the cat out 
of the bag" for fear of the usual inane responses from the doubters and 
criticizers. But, more importantly, we also are aware that there would a real 
risk that some authority would claim the meteorite was found where it could be 
subject to seizure. 

We all are so excited and pumpedespecially me, because my cancer has kept 
me confined to home for many months... that we had to share the news and also 
establish the start of a public record of the find.

All we can say further is that the meteorite, which is much larger than the 
13.7 kilo LL6 chondrite I found in Pahrump, Nevada, is obviously not an OC. It 
was found on flat, sandy, terrain and it appears recent rain and wind had 
exposed part of it. 

I say this with affection for my friends, but I'll be surprised if they can 
keep a secret. At least I got to get some of the excitement off my chest. And 
no...I am not the lucky one who literally stumbled over this rock...but, I was 
20' away.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Thank you everyone for a lively 'debate'. I would like to apologize for 
letting my emotions get the best of me during part of this 'discussion'. I 
am SO personally involved and connected to NWA 5000 that I sometimes become 
too 'human' and show it. For this, I apologize if I have offended anyone.


Considering the 'Mysterious Kalahari' stones, I think Michael Gilmer said it 
best, "Show us the rock!". Without proof, they are only a rumor...

Subject: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

Dear Meteorite Friends,

I am proud to announce the Grand Opening of a very special display in the
Peabody Museum at Yale University! My loan of the main mass of lunar
meteorite Northwest Africa 5000 (NWA 5000), combined with an ancient clay
tablet from the Yale Babylonian Collection (MLC 1880 - 'Velocity of the
Moon'), is sure to amaze and thrill the public throughout the year. In
addition to these authentic specimens, there is a full size painted replica
of NWA 5000 to compliment the display and offer a glimpse of what the uncut
mass looked like before sharing samples with the world.

I would like to thank everyone involved who helped make this special
occasion possible. Without the dedication and enthusiasm from these
professionals I would not have been able to share such a marvel of nature!

The display is scheduled to run through November 30, 2016. Please share in

Re: [meteorite-list] Kalahari lunar vs NWA 5000

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

I don't have time for anybody's BS here. I especially have not gone further 
reading after Darryl's and the Keyboard Kommander himself denouncing 
(Claiming) their claims to Fame. I am really tired of these kind of 
opportunists trying to Hijack my 'simple' "Thank You". How pathetic is 
that?!!!


Can I not do MY JOB without some lazy opportunists taking advantage of my 
friends?!!!


Ask yourself that and sleep well..

Subject: [meteorite-list] Kalahari lunar vs NWA 5000

I just now realized how I had left out an important piece of the email 
earlier.
The Kalahari lunars have never been seen or exhibited publicly. I and many 
others have serious doubts about even their existence.
The tiny samples shows in photos show a very ugly lunar. Those could never 
be compared to NWA 5000 in value or any other way. I forgot to add the name 
in my last email. Please don't get confused. If anyone claims to have a 
lunar nicer or larger please put it on the scale and show it. Otherwise it's 
all just talk.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Thank you, Darryl,

For your opinion of and the,  ['legal classification'] of term, "The World's 
Largest Lunar Meteorite."


First, 'Kalahari "Anything Lunar-Related" has NEVER been physically and/or 
photographically proven to be valid!


Secondly as you, (as a Professional 'World-Wide' Meteorite Dealer & 
Motivator) states, "[{Questionable lunar rock (Darryl's mention}]... recent 
lunar fits together as a jigsaw which is more than twice as massive [as NWA 
5000]"


MARKETING ~ On Your Part...

We've only presented a "PUBLIC DISPLAY" of NORTHWEST AFRICA 5000 (NWA 5000) 
of something I've been able to share without the Greed of ManKIND. My 
pursuit of this project was to draw 'ManKIND' back together with my team 
NOTHING IS FOR {SALE} Thank you for taking a 'couple seconds' to 
'Consider Your Thoughts' by my sharing a wonderful moment to 'Those Who 
Deserve It' !!!

Hi,

While this is great — many congratulations! — the exhibit headline 
incorrectly states that NWA 5000 is "The World's Largest Lunar Meteorite." 
In the exhibit description it states that NWA 5000 is the largest lunar 
meteorite ever discovered.  Despite being uber-cool, NWA 5000 never held 
this distinction.  Discovered nearly a decade earlier, the Kalahari 009 mass 
is significantly larger.  In addition, there is a recent lunar which fits 
together as a jigsaw which is more than twice as massive (which Tony 
analyzed many months ago).  Still...very nice.   All the best / Darryl

Re: [meteorite-list] Fwd: Questions about the SF National Forest

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dennis,

While I can offer no help specifically to your inquiry here, I can suggest the 
following:

1) Keep doing the personal research you have been doing and keep asking those 
who actually go out and hunt in different terrains and localities. Your best 
bet is to print out letters from actual officials and then go out and flag down 
same in the field and personally ask them. I am seeing too much ‘Internet 
Confusion’ to be of any value. In fact, almost everything I have have seen 
regarding the subject is ill-informed and worthless.

Good luck and stay on it in the positive and enthusiastic manner you do! I look 
forward to seeing your future finds!!

Best Regards,
Greg

I guess no one read my note.  Bob and Adam still say "No Hunting!"  That's where
I need help.  New Mexico's National Forest supervisor said that one can hunt, as

Hi, Folks!  This land use gets so discombobulated that no one knows what is

don't do this for

a living, simple apply what is on the books.  This is a copy of a letter 
that I received from

the State Office in Santa Fe.  It was pretty clear what I could and 
couldn't do.  I carried a 

copy of this in my pocket.  I also carry a copy of Title 43 Part 8360 
Subpart 8365, "Rules

can't do.

They generally walk away saying "Have a Great day".   If I'm missing 
something,  I would

like better information than I have.  Oh, the letter was from USGA state 
supervisor.

  Hello,



  Currently, there are no entrance restrictions on the Santa Fe National 
Forest. There are some roads that are closed but I don’t recall any near 
Glorieta.

  From the Santa Fe National Forest website: Metal Detecting is allowed 
throughout the forest except in significant archaeological or historical sites. 
 It is the responsibility of the person using the metal detector to not remove 
any item protected by law.  Please read question and answers before embarking 
on a detecting mission.

  No permit or notification is required for collecting if the following 
applies:

  · Collecting of samples is on the surface (no digging with hand 
tools or mechanized equipment).  A small sluice may be used.

  · Collection is for personal use and esthetic values (cannot be 
sold or bartered). 

  For the following activities, please contact the Santa Fe National Forest 
to discuss permitting or authorization:

  · Activity that does involve digging with hand tools or 
mechanized earth-moving equipment, including bobcats, suction dredges, ‘high 
banking’ or dry washing equipment.

  · Commercial activities including collecting mineral or fossil 
specimens for re-sale.

  · Removal of more than insignificant amounts of landscape rock.

Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2016 news

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

That's great news Zelimir!

Thank you for the confirmation of the continuation of the Ensisheim Show and 
for your dedication to keep the Ensisheim Show alive and growing!!


As for the last near-decade of my attendance and showing in Ensi, please 
accept this as my life-long confirmation of my regular table, Mike Farmer's 
table since he's currently traveling and Moritz' table with whom I always 
group together each year to duplicate all of our confirmations! ;-)


As having been honored as one of the Guardians of the Brotherhood of the 
Ensisheim Meteorite and winner of last year's first 'Thematic Exhibition' of 
the 'Best of the Best' personal collection specimens with my NWA 5000 main 
mass and slice, I fully encourage all in attendance to submit your very 
best! Last year was an incredible success and all of the items on display 
were simply amazing!! While it was a chore and quite the responsibility to 
personally carry and curate my NWA 5000 specimens around Europe for two 
weeks last year was a bit stressful, it was all worth the investment of time 
and money to share such treasures with those who truly appreciate meteorites 
like most all of us!


Ensisheim is my favorite show of the year! If you have never attended yet, 
do so because you are missing out on what I refer to as, 'The Meteorite 
Family Gathering'.


See you there!!

Greg

Subject: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim 2016 news


Dear Meteorite-Central List, IMCA members and all meteorite friends,

As already announced on the leaflets distributed last November in the Munich 
show, now that the “St George Brotherhood of the Ensisheim Meteorite 
Guardians” was officially dissolved in February this year, the 2016 
Ensisheim meteorite show will be organized on the same basis as last year, 
namely by the recently created “Association of Friends of the Ensisheim 
Meteorite” and under the auspices of the “ City of Ensisheim” and of the “ 
Ensisheim Federation of Associations”.


Please find here preliminary news concerning this 17 th edition of the show.

The place (Regency Palace in Ensisheim), the dates (the week preceding the 
Ste Marie show, namely from Friday June 17 to Sunday June 19, 2016), as well 
as the usual hall table arrangements, remain unchanged.

Opening hours:
Saturday: 9:30-18:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 7:30).

Sunday: 9:30-16:30 (dealers access to the rooms possible from 8.00)

The total number of dealer tables is limited to 58 (52 “regular” and 6 
“window-tables” in the consignment room). All tables are equal in size (160 
x 80 cm – note the large size). The price per table (not per meter), was 
slightly increased with respect to 2015, namely: 1 table = 170 euro; 2 
tables = 320 euro; 3 tables = 450 euro; 4 tables = 600 euro….)


All past dealers/guests have full priority to reserve their last year 
table(s). Those who did not come last year (2015) had lost their priority 
and should be considered as “newcomers”.


For the 2016 booking, we urgently ask our regular guests to do that ASAP, 
preferably before the end of April 2016 (slightly flexible deadline).
However, if you already had reserved “implicitly” or “think that you have 
reserved”, please APPLY AGAIN (E-mail me in a couple of words) and confirm 
your table(s).



If you can’t make it this year, please notify me that you want to cancel. 
This is very important and absolutely needed for me to readily assign tables 
to those who are on the waiting list.


The organizers will attribute to the newcomers the layout of places within 
any of the 3 halls in the most appropriate way so as to meet as many wishes 
as possible. Note that the 3 halls are all equivalent, as the public must 
inevitably walk through.
Tables are attributed to newcomers, as always, on a “first come, first 
served” basis.


For table reservation, just E-mail me (zelimir.gabel...@uha.fr)

To avoid money transfer complications and bank fee, we accept you pay the 
table renting, cash. Tables are to be paid on Saturday morning between 7:30 
and 9:30 to the treasurer, at the reception desk visible from the entrance 
door of the Regency building. Please prepare cash (preferred), though French 
checks are tolerated. Credit Cards are NOT accepted.


To pay, the dealers and their assistants must wear their badges (or ask for 
at the reception desk).

Re: [meteorite-list] Ungrouped achondrites

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Hello Daniel and List,

I have plenty of Ungrouped meteorites that you may be interested in. I have one 
correction to your request list. NWA 4882 in a Brachinite and I have nearly all 
of it since my first purchase of the mass in 2007 during one of my dozens of 
individual trips to Morocco.

Please see what I have available on my Nature’s Vault web site, home of ‘The 
Hupe Collection’ of meteorites and Planetary meteorites too! I also have dozens 
more of Officially Classified meteorites that I haven’t had time over the last 
several years to offer ‘yet’. I committed all of my time helping others to 
properly market their meteorites, and with great success I might add!

Re: [meteorite-list] China Now Hosts The World's Largest Gemand Mineral Show

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Personally I look forward to attending the Tucson Show 'Every' year. It is 
great to visit with old friends, meet new ones and buy some incredible 
meteorites along the way from room to room. I also take this time of year to 
go hunting in the surrounding areas of Arizona, Nevada and California... a 
Whirlwind of FUN, FRIENDS, FAMILY & ADVENTURE.. My favorite show is 
Ensisheim in June which is HUGE in that it is 'Meteorites Only' and we are 
one happy family of like-minded people!! :)


See you in the desert southwest...

Best Regards,
Greg

I was an exhibitor at all these shows in China. In Chenzhou last year the 
government ordered all
Business to close down and all people had paid holidays and free admission 
to the show. Attendance was mandatory. When the government in China orders 
you to attend, you attend.

One out of every 10-15000 of those people may have bought something.
China shows have 1% the buyers Tucson has.
Nice try, but why people that don't even attend either show feel the need to 
talk is beyond me.

Tucson may lose the distinction of being the largest gem and mineral show

this list, it will never lose the honor of being the BEST show on earth

Dear List Members,

I was shocked to hear that the Tucson Gem and Mineral show is no longer 
the world's largest.  It looks like China is in first place with 
attendance figures of over 380,000 for a four day event in 2015 compared 
to less than 40,000 for Tucson.

Maybe I should attend this year to add support for this American show 
that has been running since 1955 while the Chinese show has only existed 
for a mere 3 years.

[meteorite-list] Greg Hupe & Nature's Vault, Inc. - Meteoritic Future Guaranteed!

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Into a New Year and at the door to the 2016 Tucson Show, I thought I would 
re-post my statement from July 2014...



[Original post from July 8, 2014]
Dear Meteorite Community,

In recent months my brother, Adam, has publicly commented several times that
he has taken steps to take a break from meteoritics, including selling his
equipment except for perhaps one saw.  I feel compelled to send this notice
since many people mistake Adam for me and vice-versa even though I have been
primarily working on my own for the last 10 years since I moved to Florida.

While my brother has announced his break... I, Greg Hupe, strive to provide
the very best meteorites and customer service personally and through my
company, Nature's Vault, Inc.  I am more engaged in all aspects of
meteoritics than ever before and look forward to working far into the future
to bring out more rare and exciting meteorites. I am here to stay and look
forward to working with like-minded individuals.  I have many great friends
in all aspects of meteoritics and related fields such as space science and
travel.

The Hupe name and Nature's Vault will continue to be an integral part of
meteoritics far into the future!

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

Except that there are no laws concerning meteorites and the infamous

Like Larry wrote previously, the permit and the process was a joke - a
series of hoops to be jumped through and when I got to the last hoop
they kept moving it further away.  I don't think they expected anyone
to even make it as far as I did.

We don't need to worry about the first American Lunar, it will 100% be

Apparently the BLM thought meteorites were lying around like Easter eggs

people were becoming rich from them so they needed more laws to protect
people from making any form of profit.  There is also no statue of

Hi Adam,

What I said is true. Unenforced laws are meaningless. A warning or
whatever. really doesn't add up to anything of substance, and without 
actual

charges or at least a ticket, it's just words.

I'm guessing, only guessing, the incidents you mentioned happened during,
or just after the peak of the" Met Men" series, when the BLM was on a
mission to keep us from making all that 'easy money'. I'd bet those same
officers watching eBay have tired of the activity and moved on to bigger
fish long ago. Not much to get uptight about on eBay regarding American
meteorites "poached" from state or federal land. It wouldn't take long 
for
them to figure out that monitoring eBay is a nonstarter, not enough money 
to

merit the effort. The crater is the exception but that's a whole other
topic.

I spend a lot of time in the field, thousands of hours, and I have hard
core meteorite hunting buddies pounding the ground for thousands of hours
per year without incident. Every single officer I've come into contact 
with
was aware of what I was doing and never once have I had an issue. Some 
day

if we ever  get together we can share some stories.

As far as artifacts and fossils go you are correct, but only to a point.
You can surface collect in most areas as far as I know. I can pick up
fossils all day long, no one cares until I find 'Sue'. The same will hold
true for meteorites, no one is gonna care until I recover the first North
American Lunar.

The heat has cooled off. Relax,, Smile and go find some rocks bro. : )

Hi Rob and list,


Rob, I agree 100% allowing private individuals to hunt and be rewarded is 
the most efficient and cost effective means to recover meteorites so far. 
This has worked perfectly in many countries for years even in Australia 
before the late 1980's. However times are changing and so is technology. In 
geopolitical stable countries where large networks are setup this may 
actually eliminate the need for private hunters all together..that is for 
new falls (the ones scientists and dealers are a mainly concerned with these 
days). In America private hunters maybe utilised and rewarded still to 
recover falls detected (conflict of interest). In Australia it might be a 
little slower to get out in the field in some cases. However but when they 
do go and find the stone it wont be cut into 1000 tiny bits to be sold off. 
Some say there is no issue with slice and dicing. For myself I think its a 
bit sad when a fall with a very small TKW is sliced up and sent off to the 
four winds and researchers have to pay hundreds or thousands for tiny 
pieces..



I don't expect anytime soon for NWA to dry up or for the market to stop 
(though its extremely slow for most small and mid level dealers).



You replied to my comments on orbit data and solar system mapping >


Well, we got all of that on both Sutter's Mill and Creston, in spite of the 
problems
of private land ownership and considerably harder searching conditions than 
the
almost ideal surfaces of the Australian outback. So both systems can work. I 
just
think the current U.S. laws favour a higher success rate than in Australia 
because

they (at least currently) provide enough incentive to boost the people-hours
that get devoted to each fall.


- Forgive me if I am wrong, I have not yet seen any orbit data for either of 
these falls, just radar data etc namely how ground based technology was used 
very well to find the fall location.


The cameras developed by Curtin are an extremely powerful tool in large 
numbers they make this massive machine that is very very accurate and can be 
used to calculate accurately where a meteorite originated from. Its awesome 
how powerful this tech is!



Also NOMCOM has divided up the fall system into 5 categories just because of 
the may or maybe nots on fall confirmation. Even now when the hunters in NWA 
Africa find a stone that's fresh looking 'it was witnessed' and the price is 
so huge no one wants to even buy it. Do we really know it was witnessed? 
maybe it was maybe it was not..Its something being witnessed even 
scientifically valuable, or is 'witnessed with trajectory recorded' more 
important? I go with trajectory recorded.



So for me its simple, many institutions wont be able to keep up with the 
ridiculous pricing on meteorites, neither can collectors ( who seem to be 
dropping in numbers also) so lets change the game a little.



What is being done:-


Australians are being encouraged to be citizen scientists via the work of 
Curtin and others, apps and even all sky kits will be released.



Schools are having these systems installed in remote communities and many 
people are becoming involved. A real community effort, kids are learning 
directly and helping



private individuals will help to search in some cases


So I could by one or more all sky cam's and contribute in a massive way and 
learn other skills sets or just keep pumping huge amounts of cash into a 
never ending collection I wont be able to take into the next life.


sorry for upsetting my dealer mates


So for me the next stage of the evolution in meteoritics is all sky tech, 
natural progression.



After 5 years of seeing many people really only getting excited when there 
is a new fall, who's selling, or if their 'rights' are being taken away, or 
how much money can be made, ka ching. Even little science being discussed on 
the list by most, just how do I own some or I am selling some. Im not 
against buying or seling but wow!



More money talk/adds occurs in meteoritics  than any other hobby/science 
field I can think of



fossil or bobble head collecting isn't even this bad


I am sorta over it


so this is why I am for a change, even just personally in my walk or how I 
can contribute


Cheers mate

Re: [meteorite-list] First thing Andy Weir did with his advance...

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Hi Tracy,

As it turns out I know of two people who were contacted by a close friend of 
Andy Weir's, and a customer of mine (name of client withheld for obvious 
reasons). While I was up hunting a bolide sighting on the Florida/Georgia 
line using radar return readings from Marc & Rob I was contacted by my 
friend stating Andy was interested in a Martian meteorite. I told him I 
would be back home in a week and would be happy to offer him a big piece at 
a great price once back. During that time he also contacted Mike Farmer who 
also had a nice large piece of Mars and he was able to fill Andy's request 
quicker than me.


So, congratulations to Mike Farmer for providing Andy with a nice Martian 
meteorite!


Best Regards,
Greg

Without doubt, from a couch collectors point of view, such hunting treks 
mostly remain
among family and friends---many hunters out there have many stories (some 
sad) and I would like
see more of these adventures put to pen and/or pics so others may 
vicariously live the hunt.


Adam, thank you for sharing!!

Oh yeah, you may be able to help me-back around 2007, I misplaced my NWA

it weighed about 11.5kg ..any help on its return to me would be appreciated.

Zann and I returned a digital camera that we found to an exceedingly
successful and reclusive meteorite hunter.  That is how we met and gained
the trust of an original Team LunarRock member and true desert rat, "Action
Jackson"  We had the pleasure of having him join in on the tail end of the
June hunt.   He spent his first days retracing the steps of a nearly
impossible to get to dry lake bed where he lost a friend, while on a hunt,
to pay his respects.  Sadly, this fellow meteorite hunter was never seen
again after wondering away from where their vehicle broke down despite
search and rescue teams looking for days.

True to form, Action Jackson preferred to camp out in the desert rather than
stay in a four star hotel here in Laughlin which was offered to him for free
during the Southern leg of the trip.

A book could be written about this fearless meteorite hunter but he chooses
to remain behind the scenes and enjoy the hunt.  A few List Members and
fellow meteorite hunters have had the privilege to meet Action Jackson in
field where is not afraid to live full-time.

Happy Hunting,

Adam

Greg, Sonny, List;

I think the next best thing to the feeling that you're walking in a remote 
area where no one has been, is that you're walking in a remote area where a 
compadre has been!

That's cool, Sonny.

In February I found a SOG knife on a dry lake bed in Nevada while 'finding'
meteorites and mentioned I found "a knife". A friend asked if it was a, 
"Gray SOG knife found on Dry Lake ...". Sure enough it was his that he 
lost two years prior and that it was a special gift from his son. I was 
happy to return it back to him after it had a short vaca in Florida.

Needless to say Jim W. was absolutely thrilled to have it back! :)

Best Regards,
Greg

Hi All,

I have been out exploring areas in Nevada and Utah for meteorites and photo 
opportunities. It is amazing how many unique treasures you are able to find.

Not to mention
the wildlife and weather events. I hope to post a few pictures later. I did 
find a retractable meteorite cane on a lake bed. Not the treasure I was 
hoping for! It looks like it has been lying on the lake bed surface for a 
year or two but still in great shape. Email off list if you think this is 
yours and want it back.

[meteorite-list] NWA 5000 "Thinnest Slices Ever Produced" - AD

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear List Members,

I am happy to announce that I am now offering:

'The Thinnest Slices of NWA 5000 ever produced - Exclusively at Nature's 
Vault'


Never before have slices been cut and polished to just 1mm, this means the 
'Surface-to-Weight' ratio is tremendous and offers the maximum viewing 
surface! Many have asked, "What lunar meteorite could possibly be better 
than NWA 5000?"... Simple, ultra-thin polished slices of NWA 5000! I have 
absorbed the cutting/polishing losses and expenses to present the very best 
this lunaite has to offer.


To see much of what I have available, please visit my NWA 5000 page 
exclusively on Nature's Vault: 
http://www.naturesvault.net/meteorites/nwa5000.html


Thank you for looking, and if you are interested in any of the listed 
specimens, please click the 'Buy' button quickly as I will be offering these 
on a First-come, First-served basis.


Best Regards,
Greg

[meteorite-list] What To Bring to Ensisheim - AD

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Dear List,

I would like to ask those attending the Ensisheim Show if there is anything 
I have that you would like me to bring as I will be selling again this year. 
There is a lot on my web site and much more material on the MetBull that I 
haven't offered at all yet. Weight may be a factor but I will do my best to 
bring as much as possible.


If you are interested in anything please email me in private as to not clog 
up the List, Thanks.


Best Regards,
Greg

Re: [meteorite-list] high-end collectors high-end meteorites andrareness

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Very well written and thought out, Stephan!

I would like to add that I cater to all levels of collecting, anywhere from 
the tiniest of fragments to trying to preserve the largest of main masses 
and end pieces or complete slices when I can. At great sacrifice to 
financial gain I have let go large, complete slices and main masses at a 
fraction of what I could have if I chopped them down and maximized the 
per-gram retail value I could have realized at market.


The greatest 'value' I can think of is knowing the meteorite I helped 
preserve can be studied and appreciated for centuries to come. The other 
value I gain from all that I do is meeting fantastic people, scientists and 
incredibly brilliant innovators who are changing the way we live here on 
earth and possibly in space. While working with meteorites you never know 
where your life path will lead you...


Best Regards,
Greg

Subject: [meteorite-list] high-end collectors high-end meteorites 
andrareness


Hello, All

If I combined Michael Farmers and Greg Hupes writing up about high-end
collectors and high-end meteorites,
so I should come to the conclusion that dealers aiming know a days to
collectors with big wallets.
Regardless to the amount of money you can effort for collecting meteorites,
for myself,
the high-end collector is the one, who understand in deeper details what he
is collecting.
Means, before he can real enjoy it, he must crack his head by studying in a
private or profesional way
mineralogy, physics, (bio)chemistry and etc. . Otherwise, confrontated with
the foolishness,
he can only marveling with an open mouth, but the real enjoy comes be
looking at a meteorite
with the specialed (knowlege) view about what you are looking at.
Collectors like David Weir for example buying the small samples, but they
are the high-end collectors.
Some companies or also some single rich peoples (or even the most) often
have rudimentär interest in meteorites
but supporting the interest of the nature of an dealer – that's a own class
of high-ends.

Last at least, something about lunar and martian meteorites. Meanwhile the
amount of it rised up
to huge amounts compare to some real rare space samples, for ex. the
ungrouped cc's like NWA 5958 from Greg Hupe.
A sample like this, unique by it's O-isotopes compared to the rest of all
meteorites, provide an absolutely
less amount of material compared for ex. to a NWA 5000, but comes in price
much more efordable.
Martians and Lunaites describe more a less a single parent body
history/evolution but a CM2 like a Murchison,
a Tagish Lake or CI spans with it's information through the rise of the
solarsystem and
in some way also beyond. Some of such CC's you find in between the 393 CC's
of the MetBull 101 to 103.

My regards,  Stephan Kambach


PS. my special thanks to David Weir supporting all the real collectores for
his well done work and
also to the scientists, who let us, they one who is opend enough for it, to
understand the value of the meteorites

[meteorite-list] High-end meteorite Presentations

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Hello All,

When it comes to planetary meteorites, other high end pieces and new 
‘markets’, you have to be willing to do in-depth research, study your 
potential clients and dress the part. You need to be willing to invest even 
more past the cost of the meteorite(s) and fly around the world to do 
special presentations for them and anyone they invite. The cost of airfare, 
hotels, car rentals and other expenses are nothing when catering to the high 
end market and well worth the sacrifice of personal time. This obviously 
does not apply to broken down little pieces that you would find on eBay. We 
are talking about world class, museum quality, one-of-a-kind natural 
masterpieces (yes, some cut and polished slices or end pieces). I have 
placed high end planetary meteorites with Fortune 200 CEO’s and owners of 
companies that are transforming life on earth for us all and for the better.


I have been lived and breathed this method of non-standard meteorite 
marketing for the last 11 years, especially in the last four with great 
success. I have even sold other people’s high end planetary meteorites to my 
new client base, placing items that were otherwise too expensive for the old 
and extinct methods.


I agree that one must be willing to evolve with the times, the 2008 market 
crash forced me to think outside of my comfort zone and evolve as well.


Here are some images from one of my special presentations of lunar meteorite 
NWA 5000.


1) Face-to-face presentations are necessary for placing high end meteorites.

2) Astronaut Ed Lu taking in the large specimens.

3) Ed Lu pointing out special characteristics of NWA 5000.

4) It really does not get any better than this, NWA 5000 masses.

5) She was over 'Over the Moon' by the shear size of the NWA 5000 masses.

6) It's not every day that you get to fist bump astronaut Ed Lu.

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did flying around the world 
presenting these!

You guys are mistaken. The meteorite market is doing great. You are selling 
the wrong stuff or trying to sell to the same market you've been doing for 
15 years. eBay is worthless, there are no buyers there. If you have the same 
crap you've had for 15 years selling it weekly on eBay then you have failed 
to evolve in an evolving market and you will perish.
Some of us have done extremely well by chasing the market to where it was 
going, the high-end collectors. For the last 6 years I've done nothing but 
that and have made incredible amounts of money doing it. Stick with eBay, 
die with eBay.

Re: [meteorite-list] Important Announcement form the Nomenclature Committee

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Thank you Jeff,

For the clarity that a 'paper' hasn't been published about Al Haggounia and/or 
NWA 2828 not being an Aubrite and 'simply' an Enstitite, albeit a very 
interesting one!! I have CCed Tony Irvibg and Ted Bunch on this because they 
have performed extensive research in this most interesting meteorite. Sorry I 
do not have a link to Ted's web page dedicated to 'The NWA 2828 / Al Haggounia 
Problem' as I am out of town and limited on a cell phone.

As for the DCAs, I am still confused at to the naming structure and why the new 
'official' DCA finds would even have 'NWA' associated when the numbers are so 
close to current one ( almost at 9000 ). I will Havel read the report when I 
have access to a computer and have time.

Thanks for all of your help everyone!!

Best regards,
Greg Hupe

Hello All,

In a quick glance at comments tonight, but not reading the link to new rules, I 
believe starting the new DCA mets with 'coordinates & proof' to be confusing. 
Why start the DCAs at "NWA 10,000..." when in short time the 'non-proof' mets 
will reach the tried and true 'NWA' naming system and surpass 10,000? Why not 
simply add the 'sub group' "DCA" after "NWA"...  example... NWA-DCA 0001, 
NWA-DCA OOO2... and so on

As for re-evaluating certain classifications for renaming, how about we fix 
that Al Haggounia problem, it is still not an 'Aubrite'?? NWA 2828 was 
rewritten in Abstract that the original 'Aubrite' designation was made with 
original type sample, but after subsequent material was cut chondrules were 
discovered and the correct science was selflessly announced...

[meteorite-list] Tucson Fun & Friends

[Greg Hupe via Meteorite-list]

Hello All,

Saturday morning we landed in Phoenix on delayed flights due to the storm and 
didn't make it to Tucson until 3:30 AM. After sleeping in we eventually made 
our way to the Inn Suites around 2:00 PM enjoying the pouring rain and 
flooding. Being an experienced show attendee, I was able to 'talk' my way 
through the blocked hotel parking area and found a spot 10 feet from the 
covered walkway.

We spent the next three hours visiting with old friends, meeting new ones and 
finally meeting a few 'Facebook' friends I have never met in person. That night 
we met with close friends from out of state for dinner and enjoyed great 
seafood and Margaritas... Awesome first day of the show!

Yesterday, after a relaxed morning of sleeping in again, we went to a couple 
show rooms and I bought two nice diogenites, a CM2 and a gorgeous howardite... 
We later met with friends for fantastic southwest grilled seafood and delicious 
pizza while watching the Super Bowl, fun times were had by all.

Today is another relaxed start of the day and more meteorite 'Fun & Friends'...

Looking forward to meeting up more peeps!

Greg Hupe

Dear List,

Does anyone have any large surface area, complete slices of DaG 476, or any 
other 'large surface area' Martian meteorites you would like to trade out or 
sell? I am also interested in seeing end cuts that may match what I am looking 
for...

If so, please send me a private email reply with photos of each side, 
measurements and any other details.

Thanks,

Re: [meteorite-list] Blood Auction - Greg Hupe items

No sure how 'abolished' got in there Cell phone keyboard and spell check... 
I must have meant to write, " I abolished pricing on most specimens..."

[meteorite-list] Blood Auction - Greg Hupe items

[Greg Hupe]

Hello Auction Attendees,

I would like to draw everyone's attention to the 36 auctions I entered last 
August by special request from Michael Blood. He asked me to enter two dozen 
items without reserve and a dozen worth over $1,000.00 that could have a 
reserve if I required.

I abolished and entered some very rare specimens and several large and highly 
sought after items.

I am going to guess that nearly 100% of these items will sell to lucky bidders, 
all have been marked with No Reserve or an extremely Low Reserve!!

All oh my auction entries have the 'GH' numbers. Good Luck to all of the 
bidders, I look forward to seeing everyone!! 

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

[meteorite-list] Diogenite Nomenclature

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members and fellow diogenite enthusiasts,

I talked with Tony Irving this morning regarding the use of 'Olivine Diogenite' 
in classifications and abstracts. I have been enlightened to the ever evolving 
diogenite classification scheme. Seems a new 'pigeon hole' has been created due 
to new meteorites which are comprised of mostly olivine, the Dunite meteorites. 
Find below Tony's reply and link to an abstract that discusses their proposed, 
and more accurate separation of the Diogenite meteorites.

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

Re: [meteorite-list] Met Bulletin Update - Lixian China, and NWA's

[Greg Hupe]

Hello Mendy and All,
The term, Olivine Diogenite', is widely used and accepted by many scientists. 
If it doesn't fit into a known classification, why pigeon hole it? The more 
meteorites that are recovered reveals an even more diverse 'population' of 
meteorite types that require new 'pigeon holes' to group them into. I applaud 
the scientists who think outside the box and propose and adopt proper new 
classification designations.

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill Hammer -LAST Pieces

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

We are offering the last of the Sutter's Mill carbonaceous chondrite house 
smasher hammer stone.

Due to overwhelming demand for pieces of this historic hammer stone featured on 
BBC worldwide, we decided to even break up our own collection pieces (we each 
have a complete stone, not just the hammer stone). We feel that to provide the 
collecting community small pieces of this extremely rare meteorite is best 
served by breaking only the hammer stone up into affordable pieces.

With less than 400 grams total known weight after 3 full weeks of intensive 
ground and air searches, the likelihood of much more material being found is 
decreasing by the day.

We have only the following pieces left after breaking up the last two larger 
specimens (Only 1.6856g). We had to spend more than $60,000 purchasing less 
than two ounces of this meteorite, so please put the pricing into perspective. 
This is from the one and only hammer stone which you can see on BBC and say. "I 
own a piece of that stone"...   The provenance is impeccable, the story 
thrilling, and the proof undeniable.

Once these are sold there is not another speck of the hammer stone to be 
provided.

0.0046 no crust $20.00
0.0062 no crust $20.00
0.0062 no crust $20.00

[meteorite-list] Sutter's Mill Hammer - For Sale - AD

[Greg Hupe]

Dear List Members,

For all who are interested in the new Sutter's Mill carbonaceous meteorite, and 
especially part of the Hammer Stone recovered by officer Suzanne Matin, contact 
me to reserve a piece in a size and/or price range you would like.

With a total recovered weight of only around 360 grams, and most of that in 
institutions or private collections, there is precious little of this extremely 
rare meteorite for collectors. Initial reports are indicating this to be even 
more intriguing than first thought to be!

This could be your only chance to reserve a small piece of this new meteorite, 
and the ONLY confirmed Hammer Stone as noted on Dr. Peter Jenniskens web site 
and as featured on the International BBC news broadcast seen world-wide!!

There is a very limited amount of Hammer Stone material that will come from the 
10.3g portion, the 1.2g piece is on indefinite loan to the Sutter's Mill Museum.

Please email me at gmh...@centurylink.net All sales will be on a first come, 
first served basis.

Thank you for your interest.

Best Regards,
Greg Hupe
gmh...@centurylink.net
