[meteorite-list] NWA 4734 Lunar AD update

2009-05-20 Thread Greg Catterton

Hi to everyone, I hope the day has been good for you all!

Just to update the AD for the Lunar so nobody has to email anymore about pieces 
that have been sold, all samples of the NWA 4734 except for the .65g and .80g 
have been sold.

.65g - $650

.80g - $800

[meteorite-list] NWA 4734

2009-05-18 Thread habibi abdelaziz

HI ALL.
 we need a Little clarification concerning  nwa 4734 , an what greg caterton is 
selling,

those slice from greg c, look the real McCoy, and they are from the mass 
original; that was a complete stone classified by albert jambon,
 in first i get 409+67 gr  and sent 20 gr to albert that he has done the 
classification and later  mr oumama get the rest which is the rest from a 
complete stone of 1372 gr that he classified the stone by amlbert too;
the mass was split  by :
aziz habibi = 477 gr
stfean ralew =40 gr or so
oumama the rest wich is 855 gr
and there is nothing more as it is a complte stone

so mr oumama sold his stone to sbai mohamed and associates, 

all is sold left in morroco , 409 gr by a, habibi and 400 gr by sbai associates,

so mr greg c , get his 11 gr from  sbai associates ,as he wrote to me;
congratulations on acquiring this wonderful and pristine lunar, 

than actually he need not to classifies the stone if he has bough it from sbai 
associates, but need at least to confirm it,

what should be done in next situation by any dealer ,  lunar and martian are a 
heavy investment ,
and dealer from nwa or other part of the world take a big risk buying them , 
any one could clam that a stone is paired to this one ,
but there have been many stone mistaken for lunars and martians, 
if a stone is not checked by a scientist as lunar or martian it must not be 
sold as one,

many dealer and collector invest a big money like 1000's of dollar in planetary 
meteorite and brought to the world of meteorite a pristine collection that had 
cost them much money to come at the end to sell slices for few dollars , they 
will never get back there money if there is a bad behavior and no respect of 
rules, a single collector could never afford to buy a planetary meteorite if 
there was not big dealers 
we come to fact that without this dealers from other part of the world that 
market well planetary meteorite , there will be less and less classification 
and than there will be a brouhaha of what is what, and collector will not buy 
anymore any planetary meteorite
the work done by  Norbert classen and dr randy korotev and dr  tony Irving to 
make statistics of lunar and martian is a wonderfully hard job and we thank 
them for that,
we need a fallow up system by  the nomcom for planetary statistics.

Moroccans dealers usually sell planetary as unclassified which is an other 
matter , they send a sample to a dealer who classifies the stone and put it in 
public, and this is the only way that big dealer could get planetary is by 
buying unclassified planetary,

coming to the pairing issue , i agree that even if lunar and martian are paired 
they must be confirmed by a scientist, to avoid confusion,

thanks for reading and let's keep this market growing , 
the best we behave good the best we have best market and better meteorite,

my 409 gr  nwa 4734 still intact it's from the untouchable and it's the main 
mass now,od nwa4734 as  it's the biggest one, from all what is founld 1372 gr.

Thanks for the confirmation for everyone that what I have the the real thing.

I understand the need for caution when buying Lunar and Martian meteorites, but 
I also did not like the fact that people felt the need to question my 
credibility. I have never given anyone any reason the question me or anything I 
sell.
That said, who wants some of this awesome Lunar?

[meteorite-list] NWA 4734

2008-01-23 Thread Zelimir Gabelica

Hi Aziz, Martin, list

Nice that some of you could confirm that all NWA 4734 fragments belong to 
one single stone and that the so far known total weight should be indeed 
around 1412 g (or 1417 or 1422 g, depending if the Heirs'  fragment was 40 
or 44.5 or 50 g).
For the pairing affair, I roughly agree with Aziz and believe that 
scientists would consider further investigations in that direction as this 
really seems to be of interest.


I also received yesterday night (my time) a mail from Mbark Ait Lakid (also 
nicknamed Oumama), in French, that I wish to send to the list as such, as 
per his request, after my most reliable translation (my additional comments 
or guesses are between brackets):

-
Dear Zelimir,

I am Mbark Ait Lkaid (nicknamed Oumama).
Thank you for your interest regarding NWA 4734; let me tell you the real 
story about this meteorite:


I received 477 g (of that stone) that I sold to Habibi.
Then I further received another 895 g.
Habibi sent 20 g to (Albert) Jambon and its provisional classification (NB: 
as I understand, performed by Jambon) resulted in the (provisional) name 
NWA 4683.
Jambon knew that I owed the 895 g mass and visited me. I then offered him 
20 g for the classification of these 895 g.
As it dealt with the very same stone, he (Jambon) made one single 
classification and named both stones NWA 4734.


I was really surprised last week to read that the NomCom reported in Met. 
Bull. does not mention that this further mass (895 g) was also analyzed, 
but just stated that several other pieces of the same stone are with M. 
Oumama in Rissani...

The 44.5 g that Chladni's (Heirs) purchased come from another dealer.

As a result, 2 big mistakes clearly remain, thus the (officially reported) 
tkw (477 g instead of 1372 g) and the purchase place (Erfoud versus Rissani).

I hope my above statings could clear to some extent this issue.
I have no access to the mailing list so please could you inform the 
meteoritical community about these facts so that they appear more clear to 
all...


Respectfully,

Mbark
---
I can't add anything else but just note that Mbark's report confirms the 
statements of Martin and Aziz.
Perhaps should one suggest the NomCom (Jeff ?) possibly takes into account 
these remarks for a future correction of the Met. Bull. text regarding NWA 
4734.


Best wishes,

Zelimir

NB: heredown is the original mail received from Mbark Ait Lkaid, in French:
-
Bonsoir Dr.zelimir,
je suis mbark ait lkaid (mon surnom est mbark oumama).
merci pour l'interet que vous avez envers la nwa 4734.
je vais te raconter l'histoire reelle de cette météorite.:
j'ai reçu 477gr que j'ai vendus à Habibi puis j'ai reçu les autres pièces 
faisant 895gr.
Habibi a envoyé 20gr à Jambon et la classification provisoire était sous 
nwa 4683.
Jambon a su que je possède les 895gr et il m'a rendu visite .j'ai lui 
offert 20gr pour une classification de 895.
et puisqu'il s'agit du meme caillou il a fait une seule classification sous 
la nwa 4734.
je suis vraiment surpris la semaine denière quant j'ai vu au MB que la 
nomcom ne declare pas au titre la masse analysé pourtant ils la glisset 
entre ligne en utilisant juste mon surnom.

les 44.5gr de chladni's est achetés d'un autre marchand.
donc deux grandes fautes sont bien claires : la masse (477gr/1372gr) et le 
lieu de vente(Erfoud/Rissani).

j'éspère que j'ai pu eclaicir l'affaire un peu.
j'ai pas acccés au mailling list.et je vous demande si vous le voulez bien 
de renseigner la communauté météoritiques de ces faits pour toous sois claire.

respect,
mbark

salut zelimir,and bonjour les listoides.



about the TKW of nwa 4734 = 477 habibi +895 oumama+ stefan ralew 40 gr or so.
total =1412 gr.
the stone is complete , so nothing missing, .you can see photo on oumama link.

on the pairing 25000km apart they should studies isotope of the two 
meteorite to see if they have the same ages , in space , and also the same 
ages in earth.
so to do that needs collaboration from the arctic team who ever owned the 
lap specimen and the nwa4734.
two sample from this two stone must be studies and compared to establish 
the launch-pairing.
and here i ask who is doing studies of ages in spaces an earth  , is it 
always dr kisushumi,


and for any simple guy ,to see the photo of the two stone you will say 
they are the same paired.

*
outside all this fiction , those stone are among the best lunar that i 
have seen , many collector have slice or sample and they are very pretty 
and under microscope it's jewelry.


so the fact that many scientist didn't arrive to a compromise to give here 
a name satisfies my curiosity.


the first time i have seen this lunar , i sad this is shergotite, than 
once in my office  under  microscope i change completely the done. and 
spent two month dreaming.

 and i m still dreaming.


all the best
