Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Meteorite Value if used as Tools
Greetings, When Nininger went down to Mexico to buy Toluca Meteorites and make exchanges at the museum to start his program, he ran into Toluca Meteorites that were fabricated into tools by the locals. He purchased some of these and these are held by the ASU Collection. I took some photos of them while visiting. See article in current issue of Meteorite Magazine. A detailed account can be read here about his trip.

Hey Greg S., The Tucson Ring was used as an anvil. There was a somewhat small iron at the Tucson Show that was used to pound in tent stakes, that was bought from a Moroccan dealer. I think the value would go up because the items were used by prehistoric man as a tool.

Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Meteorite Value if used as Tools
Martin Horejsi coined the term Tool box meteorite. I think he wrote an article on the idea and there were many more uses than I would of thought of. He had a huge slice of a meteorite that was used as a wheel chock to keep a wagon or cart from moving on a hill. I use a big NWA to set my hat on but we decided that does not count unless it was a natural uses of the stone prior to knowing it was special. Uses after it is a known meteorite are just a novelty and do not make the stone a tool box meteorite. Tom In a message dated 3/2/2010 9:52:07 A.M.

Re: [meteorite-list] Possible Meteorite Value if used as Tools
Hi Greg, Richard's post echos my thoughts exactly... The Tucson Ring is one very famous example. There are/were numerous pieces of meteorite iron that were forged into tools and weapons of old including spears. See this article on Meteorite Times http://meteorite-recovery.tripod.com/2008/feb08.htm and knives here: http://www.cosmiccutlery.com/knives.html All throughout ancient history cosmic iron has been made to serve man. Tools and weapons forged from meteorites are also very valuable.

Hi Greg, Richard, Greg, GeoZay, Darryl, Tom, Eric, Steve, Mike, and list, The listing in the NHM Catalogue of Meteorites for Rodeo (Durango, Mexico) states: A mass of 97lb (44kg) was found about 7 miles NW of Rodeo and was used as an anvil for many years. The text of an article by O.C. Farrington about the the Rodeo meteorite can be found here: http://www.archive.org/stream/rodeometeorite31farr/rodeometeorite31farr_djvu.txt Google Books (books.google.com) has scanned pages from Vagn Buchwald's Iron and Steel in Ancient Times, which describes in some detail how fragments of Coahuila, Toluca, Cape York, and other irons have been used as tools of various kinds. There's an interesting passage there about how the Inuit crafted nut-sized fragments of Cape York iron into useful items, using the largest masses as anvils and bringing in basaltic hammer stones from a location 50 km distant.
