Dear fellow collectors, A week ago I announced to a few of you that in the process of funding a new project I had to offer two quite exclusive specimens from my collection. When I uploaded these specimens together with a couple of others on ebay I was met a wave of support and encouragements. Many of you didn't hesitate to placed bids and I recognized quite a number of familar ebay identities. To those that bid: Thank you all for your support and encouragement, your efforts are much appreciated. To all others interested, the auctions are running and those who are familar with my collection focus are aware that these specimens were selected with a keen eye for special morphologies. There is a large and exceptionally sculpted Sikhote Alin of 4.9 kg that is worth to take a look at, even if you do not intend a purchase. Another premium specimen is a heavily oriented L5 chondrite of 738 g with stunning radial flow lines. That one is a true textbook example of characteristic orientation features. Those of you who went out meteorite prospecting in the field will know that only one among a thousand meteorites you may find displays such dramatic orientation. Other specimens offered include Kilabo, Benguerir, a 73g Juancheng, a 56g Allende and La Criolla. You'll find all auctions here: http://shop.ebay.com/werffroenne/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg= and perhaps you've been looking for an old school NASA type meteorite scale cube? This one is among the last from our recent production series: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200384401841&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Thanks for your patience and your interest.
