I don't guess I have ever seen this anywhere.
Does anyone know if any Apollo Lunar
returned rocks were "Meteorites"?
Any answers out there

[meteorite-list] Question??????

[Pete Shugar]

Should the new Az fireball --- now meteorites on the ground
be located on BLM land,   Does this mean that it can't be sold?
If this is the case, may I please now request a small 1 or 2 gram free piece 
for my collection. I assume that I should at the least pay the postage and 
am willing to do that.

There must be a way to see your own posts.
Back when I first got on the list, I could do it, but 
now it's a thing of the past---or---I forgot how I

did it.
People have told meto go to the preferences page
and I can do it from there.
Been there and done that. 
I need specifics pleaseI can't figure it out.

[Greg Stanley]

List:

I was wondering what was the most valuable single meteorite - not scientific 
but the most value $/gram?

Also, what is the most valuable type? Mars, Lunar or other?  Do Lunar 
meteorites still have the most value?

Much Thanks,

Greg S.

[meteorite-list] question

[steve arnold]

6 years ago right after the park forest fall,I was working with a small college 
with a trade that netted me my .97 gram fragment of KAKANGARI K class 
meteorite.I traded a 370 gram whole individual  of park forest to get that K 
class piece.It is only one of three K class type's out there.So to me that is 
the rarest class of meteorite out there.This has been  a most interesting 
thread.It's nice to see when some lame brain is bashing me or someone 
else.People have to learn to grow up.

[meteorite-list] Question

[pshugar]

I have a puzzelment on one of my UNWA's.
There are a number of yellow very shiney
blebs in a dark brown matrix. Two of the blebs are on oposite
sides of the slice as near as I can tell directly accross
from each other. These are the largest of all the blebs, at
1X2 mm in size. Any thoughts?
If they were copper, they would have tarnished. I don't think 
brass is possible, So I'm left with, dare I say, gold?
Do supernovas produce elements much higher than iron?

[meteorite-list] Question

[Peter A Shugar]

EP,
What if this meteorite were to have come down on a portion of a glacier that 
was over
what is now water? What if any evidence would be left?
I used to live in Alaska from the very early 60's ( I think it was 1962) till 1975 or 
76.
I spent just over two years above the Artic circle at various Air Force sites. From what 
I
saw and experienced, it will not be snow free till mid to late May. Snow levels can be 
as

much as 15 feet (enough to bury a two story house). Also starting about the 
latitude of
the Artic circle on North, the tundra is frozen all year around. These conditions will 
make

looking for evidence somewhat harder. I still know some people up there around
Anchorage and it the Fairbanks area, so I can check local conditions if you need current 
conditions.

This was before the world started to warm up so much. Back then it was a lot 
different
than it is now.
I was married to an Eskimo, but she was bitten by a Black Widow spider on the 
neck one
night and she died the next day. They said she was highly allergic to its venom. They 
sure knew
how to to live off the land. I was thinking that if my Father in law is still around, I 
would see

if there were any stories in their history that might give clues to where to 
look.
Hope this might help.
Pete

[meteorite-list] Question

[Peter A Shugar]

Hello List,
I have a question.
Years ago when tv's were "young" one of the problems was that 
the acceleration of electrons from the cathode to the plate " the screen"

was that when the electron collided with the screen, Xrays were generated.
Granted that the level was not near as large as what would be generated if
you got a chest Xray, or a mamogram, It was never made clear what caused 
the Xrays. I do remember that the ultra high voltage was on the order of 25 
to 35KV.and if this was enough to cause Xrays, then the energy needed to 
creat Xrays is not very large. The ionization trail of the atmosphere as the 
meteorite plows through it will cause plenty of electrons to help create the Xrays.
If the Xrays knock particles around that can cause the Nitrogen to convert to  
C14 then maybe there may be more Xrays than what we thought there was.

I would venture to say that this might also bear investigation.

[meteorite-list] Question

[Dave Carothers]

Good day all.

I have perhaps a very dumb question that I haven't been able to find the
answer to.

When the Met Bul shows the classification of a meteorite, it sometimes uses
the notation X/Y or X-Y.  For example you may have a meteorite classified as
H4/5 or H4-5.  Are these two classifications the same or different.  If
different, how so?

Thanks,

Dave

 Hi all,

Given the state of affairs my office is in, I cannot easily access
most of my meteorite books. Can someone tell me the division of
Nininger's meteorite collection? I know it was one of the following:

2/3 rds to AZ State Univ. & 1/3rd to the London Museum OR
1/3d to AZ State U & 2/3rds to the London Museum.

Which was it?
Thanks, Michael

Searching google, something written by Al Mitterling said that the first 1/5th
of the total Nininger collection was sold first to British Museum for $140K with
a firm

offer on June 13. 1958 and the remainder of the collection sold in the fall of
1959 for $275K to ASU.

Hi Michael and List,

I am glad to hear that this book is being finished - my bookshelf is
always hungry for another meteorite book.  I can't wait to see all of
the photos of oriented specimens. :)

BTW - remember that oriented UNWA stone that I sent you some photos
of?   It is now available and open to fair offers.  I need to sell it
(and a couple of other things) - to rid my cabinet of some redundancy.
 If you (or anyone on the List) is interested, contact me for details.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Gary Fujihara]

Oops, misspelled.  That should be Maximilian.  

Here is an excerpt from MAPS 42, Nr 9 supplement B3-B68:

The 280-pound stone that fell at Ensisheim on November 7, 1492 is the only one 
in Chladni's pre-eighteenth-century lit of which specimens are preserved today. 
 This stone quickly became famous because it caught the attention of a king - 
Maximilian (1459-1519), the "Roman King," who was heir apparent to the Holy 
Roman Emperor, Friedrich III.  Maximilian was leading his army toward 
Ensisheim, a Free Imperial City of the Hapsburgs, on his way to battle the 
French.  On his arrival, he sent for the stone and asked his advisors what it 
meant.  After solemn reflections, they told him, as clever advisors have done 
throughout history, that the stone was a pledge of God's favor to him.  Greatly 
pleased, Maximilian returned the stone to the citizens of Ensisheim with orders 
to preserve it in their church as a memorial of this great, miraculous event.

For more details on Maximilian 1st, see here:

http://www.luminarium.org/encyclopedia/emperormaximilian.htm

The episode of his venue to Ensisheim to inquire 
about the famous "stone that fell from the skies" 
is not mentioned, probably considered as a detail 
in regard with all the other (more important ?) emperor's achievements.

But what Gary had summarized in one of his replies is correct.

This being, if your question is related to the 
"King of the last Ensisheim meteorite show" (June 
2009), it must beeither Alain Carion (who 
received the "Golden Meteorite medal" for his 
life achievements related to meteorites) 
or...Perhaps the dino who is watching him from behind.

See the site of Hanno Strufe, page 1, picture 8, here:


http://www.strufe.net/0334af9a5a0cf8e1d/0334af9c3213d0302/0334af9c3213de407/index.php


BTW the next show edition (11th in a row) is 
scheduled June 19 and 20, 2010 (this to answer 
regular off list questions asking for the next show dates)


Happy New Year to everybody!
I wish you all to hear one day some strange noise 
(whiiizzz + booomm) and then to find some strange 
hot and smelly piece of "ugly rock" in your back yard.

But if you don't, keep faith!
Or, at least, never loose your meteorite passion!
This will keep you happy and in good health, 
something that is always implicit in the New Year wishes...

Capt. Blood's list of "Met Friends Page")

There are different pets, such as small green turtles (salmonella) and gerbils
and ferrets (possible they can escape and breed like bunnyrabbits) that have at
times been illegal to sell as pets in various states.  So, when you buy a
certain aquarium or cage, you get a free turtle (or gerbil, or ferret.

I'm sure someone could come up with a nice, fancy, limited-edition display case
commerating this fall-- with as a free bonus, a piece of the meteorite.

[LITIG8NSHARK]

Good afternoon, Folks,

I can't speak for  today's meteorite market, but back in the early 2000's 
it was the Lunar  meteorite Calcalong Creek.  Small specimens were selling at 
about  $75,000.00 per gram.  I know because I bought some from Rob Elliot 
at that  price, and made money re-selling specimens.  Just  incredible!!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi Greg,

I'll take a stab at this one.

The most expensive meteorite I have bought was Sylacauga.  A 1mg
Bessey Speck cost me $100.

That is a staggering $100,000.00 a gram.

I would wager that the most "valuable" meteorites are probably
historical falls - history usually trumps type when it comes to market
value.

Best regards,

MikeG

Greg,

I would guess that  Semarkona would bring a very high price per gram if any 
of it would come on the  market.

Also, some of the very low TKW carbonacious chondrites with a  historical 
twist could be in the top price ranges.

Last I saw, one of the priciest meteorites was the Martian Governador 
Valadares, of which only a few grams has ever made it out of institutions for 
private collectors.  Milligrams cost thousands, and Bill Gates couldn't afford 
the main mass, should it ever become available.

Just from my records of my collection, here are the most expensive $/gram:

Calcalong Creek $367,650 (M Casper source)
Mooresfort $48,475 (R Elliott source)
Chassigny $27,015 (M Blood source)
Lodran $25,500 (R Elliott source)
Lafayette $17,361 (M Blood source
Angra dos Reis $10,000
Glenrothes $10,000
Kobe $10,000
Govermador Valadares $9582
Wethersfield 1971  $8823
Pomozdino $8631
Forsbach $8333
Serra de Mage $7683
Darmstadt $7038
Peramiho $6733
Moore County $6463
LA 002 $6015
Wessely  $5813
Sylacauga $5572
Krahenberg  $4000

I didn't include the DAG/DHO/NWA etc because those prices have changed 
drastically over the years.

Overall my average $/g: Lunar $1554; Martian $1325.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Impactika]

Calcalong and Governador Valadares are good candidates.
 
I would suggest Chassigny. Not so much because it is a Martian but because 
it is a Fall, almost 2 centuries old, a small meteorite, namesake of a whole 
class of meteorites, and so far the only named meteorite in this tiny class.
 
Angra do Reis is another candidate, for similar reasons.
 
And then you have many meteorites who are entirely in Museums or 
Institutions, and not available, no matter the ammount of money. Cabin Creek in 
Vienna, Goose Lake in The Smithsonian, are but 2 examples. I am sure there are 
many more examples. 
 
Anybody cares to think up of some more of those un-obtainable meteorites?

Governador Valadares is one, Chassigny and Lodran of the classics are two
others. When a few mg of these were offered at various times past, the
calculated price/g was $50K and 30K respectively.

Great question Greg, and excellent answers by list members in  
response!  I was amazed at the prices quoted for some of the specimens  
- astronomical!


For those who cannot afford such meteorites or their prices, I offer  
something a little more down-to-earth on ebay this week, where  
Bassikounou, Chergach, NWA pallasite, NWA oriented chondrite and  
Campos are still very affordable ... some still as low as 99¢  All are  
quality pieces that can be seen here for the auction ending Saturday:

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Darryl Pitt]

I have the main mass and Bill Gates, where ever you are, don't listen  
to Tracy---you can easily afford it.


Seriously, the comparative table previously provided is flawed as all  
the sales were not for one gram specimens.  I've sold a 1/10 carat of  
GV for the equivalent of $165,000---but the most for a one gram  
specimen or more was "only" $12,000.


BTW, I traded GV for the 13 kg Willamette specimen I obtained from the  
American Museum of Natural History.


At the time, I thought it was one of my better exchanges

ouch.

Don't forget NWA 011 when only 58 milligrams was in private hands.  It sold for 
an equivalent whopping $250,000.00/gram 0r 4500.00 for a 2 milligram speck.  
Overall, lunaites are and will always be king unless a piece of Mercury shows 
up with ground truth.

Correction: the 2 milligram speck sold for $500.00 not $4,500.00.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the list. Very interesting.

However, I need to check my records, but I honestly don't remember
paying more than $200,000 for the piece of Mooresfort I purchased from
Rob Elloitt a while back. (;- )

Here's the write-up on that one.

Re: [meteorite-list] question

[Dark Matter]

Hi Steve,

To add more opinionative fuel to the theoretical fire, the moment at
which any particular specimen becomes a class complete with type
specimen is the moment it is no longer so rare that it is alone in its
petrology or chemistry.

Therefore (and this is a job for SuperBernd), one might need to dip
down into the annals of those mysterious meteorites who have no peers.
Then choose the smallest TKW.

But, of course, all that work and artificial value could be undone in
just one split second. I'm glad I had not invested in CV3s on February
7th, 1969, or CM2s on September 27, 1969, or Shergottities on October
2, 1962.

Best,

Martin

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Dark Matter]

Hi All,

Just a thought, but maybe to add some realism here, we should only
consider a price as a valid entry in the contest where 1) the sample
that sold was equal to or more than one gram in mass, and 2) it
actually sold for the noted price with payment in hard currency (as
opposed to trade, etc.).

Unfortunately the realism would take much of the fun out of this, but
also much of the hype.

I rarely spend more than a thousand a gram for a specimen in the gram
or larger size.

Best,

Martin

The highest documented price I find was on NWA 011. It sold at the Tucson gem 
show back in Feb. 2003  for $119,000.00 per gram. At that time it was thought 
to be from Mercury and was not paired yet. In May of 2004 a small piece was

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Jeff Kuyken]

Easy... Chassigny! Since I started collecting about 8 years or so ago the 
price has remained steady at ~$30,000/g. BUT... that's because it's only 
ever available as a few milligrams here and there. Lodran is a very similar 
one. Around $25,000-$30,000/g steady too. A number of others have sold for 
more on occasions for a few milligrams but those prices never hold-up over 
time. The old, low TKW namesakes will win every time.


Cheers,

Jeff

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Adam Hupe]

Dear List Members,

I have had a lot of time to ponder what some of these Antarctic planetary 
pieces would go for.  My guess is that they would start out real high and then 
become less and less as the market reaches saturation.  It would take less than 
300 grams of any Martian meteorite to satisfy the collector market short-term. 
The Antarctic pieces would be no different if the pieces became suddenly 
available.

If all of ALH84001 was available, my guess would be that it would start out at 
around $50,000/gram and then be less than $5,000/gram within a year due to the 
weight of the piece.  It would only hold the $5,000/gram price due to the 
claims and studies regarding this famous stone. No meteorite in the world will 
hold a price of over $50,000/gram for very long if more than 300 grams is 
available.

The Antarctic Lunaites would start out a lower price than ALH84001 but would 
hold prices long-term because there are a lot of buyers of moon rocks who are 
not necessarily interested in meteorites. In other words, Lunaites reach into 
several markets while most meteorites are incorporated only into advanced 
mineral collections or institutions. Almost everybody can relate to rocks from 
the Moon due to it being our closet celestial neighbor and the massive NASA 
Apollo undertakings, considered the most important achievement in history by a 
great deal of the world's population. You have heard the term, "I would give 
her the moon if I could" Now, mere mortals can own a piece of the Moon and Mars 
too.

If the Antarctic pieces become suddenly available, they would quickly lose a 
lot of their mystique and become similarly priced. Meteorites do not care where 
they land and when it comes to planetary pieces, the market seems to care very 
little where they were found so long as they were legally exported.  

On another subject, it is my belief that a North American lunar meteorite will 
be found soon.   The only thing that could top this would be if a meteorite 
from the Moon was witnessed as a fall!

We can only dream,

Best Regards,

Adam

I tried to contact them but there contact link is not valid. Does anybody know

http://meteoritesaler.com

They have been publishing copyrighted material and some of the closing auction 
prices are inaccurately and ridiculously low.  I had a customer thinking I was 
asking too much, even when offering an item way below wholesale because of this 
website.  It is hard enough to break even these days and I don't need a site

months with rapid fire bidding.  Now, to soak up the damages and 
delight in the spoils - 7 items worth including a finely sliced lunar I 
calculate at $250/g but the joke will be on me if it is thinner than 
eyeballed and weighing less!  Really pissed I lost that "winonaite"


Kindest wishes
Doug

I have a slice of Taza from that eBay user, and a howardite slice as
well.  They are paper thin, but make great display pieces.

Re: [meteorite-list] question

[Benjamin P. Sun]

I have dealt with lucyfi90 before. She has some really rare stuff. Her
slices are big and gorgeous but they are also very thin(at least mine
was).
I would consider her an honest & trustworthy seller. She shipped my
piece from within the USA, and it was shipped rather quickly.
But I think she had a bad incident with the postal service mangling
one of her shipments once before, so now she ships piece(s) in what
amounts to an insulated small wooden crate inside a box!(again, at
least that's was what I got), the best packaging job ever!
Which is good because we are talking about very thin slices here. I
received mine in perfect condition.
She is also very easy to communicate with. I would recommend her.

Re: [meteorite-list] question

[MexicoDoug]

Thanks, Michael, Benjamin!  The I suppose it was up to $750/g for the 
Lunar, pushing it to the limit of the material then.  Still a great 
deal for a relatively small amount and such a large surface area, 
probably 50% more than others.  By looking at the shadow on the graph 
paper I guess you can get a better idea of how thin they are..  In some 
cases though, it is desireable for for passing light through inclusions 
in specimens to get such a nice uniform slice and hopefully this seller 
can concentrate their talents there which will return the maximum value 
for the community, IMO, instead of setting up $/g buyers for a hard 
lession ;-)

I just purchased an endcut of Dhofar 485(How) from her and am very excited to 
get an upclose look at it! Beautiful stone and the first time I've purchased a 
meteorite without knowing the weight, but the surface area justifies it for me 
since it will be in a membrane box anyway. A paper thin endcut now this I have

Re: [meteorite-list] question

[Richard Montgomery]

Hello List,
I also have a few large-surface/weight specimens from lucyfi90 and I'm quite 
pleased with the prep work.  A while ago there was some discussion regarding 
her non-disclosure of weight, which I do not find deterent.


With that said, I've weighed a few from her because of simple curiousity, 
and of course the $/gr was quite higher than usual (one specimen is a 
stellar NWA801)...and yet the presentation justifies the price every time.


Sometimes I collect "outside the box"these are the ones I won't sell!

Supernova's produced all the elements but it isn't gold nor iron
Sulfide you are dealing with.  Actually  from description it is
likely:  iron nickle chloride (FeNi)Cl2

Sorry but you now have a sample of the mineral "lawrencite" on your

While there are differences of scale, gravity(meaning
actual depth, temperatures and pressures) and presence
of water/gasses-- Yes we believe the processes are the
governed by the same principles.  This is why we feel
comfortable using terrestrial geological and
minerological terms to describe features in some
meteorites.

These petrographical types are found on bodies that
were large enough to retain the heat of radioactive
decay produced initially by Al26.  They are also
called "differentiated", which is a catch-all to
describe the fusion and recrystalization process.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Chris Peterson]

The problem with X-rays from TVs wasn't with B&W, but happened when 
color TVs made the scene. An X-ray tube works by bombarding a metal 
target with energetic electrons. Color TV tubes have a metal screen just 
before the phosphor that acts as a mask to make sure the correct gun 
sees only the corresponding colored phosphor dots. It is the electrons 
hitting this metal mask that produces X-rays. These are soft X-rays, 
with energies on the order of 10 keV. Meteors may well produce some 
X-rays, but at meteor temperatures these would also be soft X-rays. Even 
very hard X-rays, up as high as 1 MeV, don't have enough energy to 
liberate neutrons (typically). For that you need several MeV, what would 
be considered gamma rays.

Hello List,
I have a question.
Years ago when tv's were "young" one of the problems was that the 
acceleration of electrons from the cathode to the plate " the screen"
was that when the electron collided with the screen, Xrays were 
generated.
Granted that the level was not near as large as what would be 
generated if
you got a chest Xray, or a mamogram, It was never made clear what 
caused the Xrays. I do remember that the ultra high voltage was on the 
order of 25 to 35KV.and if this was enough to cause Xrays, then the 
energy needed to creat Xrays is not very large. The ionization trail 
of the atmosphere as the meteorite plows through it will cause plenty 
of electrons to help create the Xrays.
If the Xrays knock particles around that can cause the Nitrogen to 
convert to  C14 then maybe there may be more Xrays than what we 
thought there was.

I would venture to say that this might also bear investigation.
Pete

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Sterling K. Webb]

 sounds produced 
by lightning (they have been observed) can be heard by sympathic 
oscillation in the audio range only a very short distance from the "bolt" 
itself, while the electrophonic sounds of meteor fireballs apparently 
have a range of at least 80 miles (or more). Since we have no idea of 
how these radio waves are generated (another complete and utter 
mystery), this may say nothing more than that exotic mechanisms 
at work in meteoritic entry are not inferior in strength to those of 
lightning.

I think all the urgings to do basic "black body" calculations for 
impacts is admirable... and wasted. As an approach, it's both far too 
theoretical AND too unsophisticated. I sit in a room well-lit by tiny
devices (called light bulbs) a small portion of which has a black body
temperature of over 4,000 degrees; I didn't need to heat the entire
room to 4000 degrees to illuminate it properly, only about 1 gram
of it -- the filament. 

Analysis: a mechanism existed to channel a small energy (for a 
big light bulb, less than the heat radiated by my own slow chemical
engine, the body), mechanisms channeled that little energy into a tiny 
area and amped a few atoms up enough to light 100 cubic meters. The 
mechanism is the key. How does lightning generate gamma rays intense 
enough to be picked up (off-axis) by space observatories in orbit? 
Obviously, there is a mechanism, since "on paper" or by black body 
calculation of lightning, it is utterly impossible.

Einstein said God was "subtle." He also said God was "devious but 
not malicious." Although I greatly respect Albert's opinion, I'm more 
cynical. Would you settle for "tricky"? It is likely more fruitful to look
for evidence of a phenomenon than to theoretically decide whether it
can or can not exist and act on that basis alone. I'm always impressed 
by how much we don't know. 

He's tricky, you know.

The problem with X-rays from TVs wasn't with B&W, but happened when 
color TVs made the scene. An X-ray tube works by bombarding a metal 
target with energetic electrons. Color TV tubes have a metal screen just 
before the phosphor that acts as a mask to make sure the correct gun 
sees only the corresponding colored phosphor dots. It is the electrons 
hitting this metal mask that produces X-rays. These are soft X-rays, 
with energies on the order of 10 keV. Meteors may well produce some 
X-rays, but at meteor temperatures these would also be soft X-rays. Even 
very hard X-rays, up as high as 1 MeV, don't have enough energy to 
liberate neutrons (typically). For that you need several MeV, what would 
be considered gamma rays.

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Michael L Blood]

Here's a question for y'all:
I have inferred that the following falls hit homes, or, in the
case of Holbrook, at least the train station, but cannot find written
citations for same. Is anyone on the list familiar with written
(or even verbal) accounts of any of these falls having struck
homes, buildings or the train station?
- Holbrook
- Murchison
- Pultusk
- Allende
I await responses with baited breath.
Thanks, Michael

WG: [meteorite-list] Question

[Martin Altmann]

Hi Michael,

As to Allende,
a detailed report is:

Clark, Roy S. The Allende Mexico, Meteorite Shower. Smithsonian
Contributions to the Earth Sciences 1970

You find it even online here 
http://www.sil.si.edu/smithsoniancontributions/EarthSciences/pdf/sces-0005.p
df

But takes a while for download (ca. 30MB)
Has also nice photos from the recovery of some pieces.

Page 15:
" NMNH 4015, 41 g and 39 g, in Cienega de Ceniceros
de Abajo.
These two specimens were both recovered within
the town, one on a rooftop and one from a patio.
They were purchased in June 1969"

Buckleboo!
Martininho

Re: [meteorite-list] Question

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi Michael,

I'm pretty sure Murchison hit a whole bunch of buildings and various things
since it fell on the Murchison township itself. I know there was definitely
a lot of 'light tinkling' over roofs after the detonation with minute grain
size pieces. Some landed on the local golf course too but I can't remember
if it was a Par 3 or 4. I'd say it was a hole in one! ;-) I think a piece
may have also hit a farm water-tower but I'm not entirely sure on that one.
Hope that helps you some.

Cheers,

Jeff
