[meteorite-list] AMAZING NEW "METEORITE" -FELL ON HOUSE!!!
A local newpaper in Venezuela has scooped CNN, NBC and CBS and broken the big story about an amazing new "meteorite" find (see below). We are sure that this will generate intense scientific interest as well as intense competition amongst the list dealers as they vie to purchase this cosmic beauty. Below is a tranlation of this ground breaking article. "Into the hands of carvajalense family meteorite that fell 13 years ago and deserves to be studied. It does about 13 years, as a result of a "rain of fleeting stars", phenomenon and astronomical spectacle that every year happens generally once, fell in one of the houses of the parish Glad Field, especially in the house of the Suárez family, of that populated community a small meteorite that could well solve many questions on asteroids and until the origin of the life. The grandmother of the young person David Suárez, witnessed the fall that night, a strange luminous object in the patio of her residence and decided to approach what was a small rock, of about 12 centimeters in length by seven of wide, still warms up by effect of the strong atmospheric effect. She kept the small stone, characterized to have oval and contouring form with beautiful lines brown, yellow color and amber, as if one was beautiful "Eggs of Passover" made by the Russians like inestimables jewels, like a memory, without knowledge that nothing less had in its hands than many centuries of studies of the cosmos and perhaps of its beginning. After the death of his grandmother, the young person David Suárez decides to take it to science, nevertheless many students of the matter in that time, which they wanted was to cut the rock and to destroy it to study it without contributing nothing in return, in addition without recognizing the inestimable value that represents for science. Suárez, makes the call to the true investigators of the origin of the life and the sidereal space, so that they communicate with him through telephones 2442260 and 2441804."

Wow, nice agate egg. I can get those for about $1.50 each in Denver. I hope they arent counting on that "meteorite" to get rich.

Re: [meteorite-list] AMAZING NEW "METEORITE" -FELL ON HOUSE!!!
Dear John, I was very impressed upon reading your message describing the "amazing new meteorite that hit a house in Venezuela", because... I was just in Venezuela from Sept 1 to 11 (incidently with a really smooth return flight on this "magic" date, though some remanent turbulences from our "friend" Ivan the hurricane who hit us last Wednesday there over). I thought that, by bad luck, I missed this new house crasher by a couple of days...until I looked at the link, showing this nice agate-like egg/pebble! Well, it turned that, along with some lectures on "advanced materials" I had to deliver at a local sumposium in Caracas, the organizers gave me also a "wild card" for talking about some more exotic materials. I logically choosed the topic related to our beloved hobby, namely "extraterrestrial materials". About 80 local people were therefore suddenly aware that meteorites do exist and now that John sent the post, I wonder whether we will suddenly be flooded from various infos coming from Venezuela and describing some "sudden finds in the backyards" or related local fall observations. Actually, as my speaking time was restricted (those kind of lectures require extended talks, questions included), I just skipped the last part related to... meteorite fakes and the corresponding warnings... I however doubt your post is really related to my lecture but what a coincidence! I keep you informed if I hear for more exotic falls or strange finds in the forthcoming days from there. So far, Venezuela, a large country, was very "quiet", with only 3 meteorites reported. Maybe the Valera cow story, that I did not miss to report, excited some imaginations...

Re: [meteorite-list] AMAZING NEW "METEORITE" -FELL ON HOUSE!!!
Dear List; This material as Mike notes is not meteorite. It is either a fluorite, gypsum, dolomite or other very soft material, a banded material hardness of around 4. Can be bought wholesale or retail by the pound! That peticular specimen was probably indeed from S. America as it is mined there, wholesale and manufactured there in Brazil I believe. Alas, no iridium, or other evidence of interplanetary travel. Seems the fusion crust must have been scrubbed off by granny! I thought the "luminous" part was the first clue of suspect material. Where's Ken Newton, time to add another meteorwrong to the web page! This one was fun! Dave F. Michael Farmer wrote: Wow, nice agate egg. I can get those for about $1.50 each in Denver.

Re: [meteorite-list] AMAZING NEW "METEORITE" -FELL ON HOUSE!!!
Hello ZelmirThat certainly is a coincidence. I guess the more people that learn about the potential value of meteorites the more "cosmic agates" we'll be hearing about in the News. Apparently this chap was planning on retiring on the proceeds from Granny's "meteorite" as he became quite agitated when I referred to it as an agate and he told me to "READ THE NEWPAPER AGAIN".
