Re: [meteorite-list] Credit where credit is more than due
Hi list, living in the Australian Outback can be a bit hazardous sometimes and right now I'm experiencing one of the worst dust storms I've ever been through. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the world outside of my house has turned into what hell might look like. It is almost complete dark but the darkness is not black but a deep red caused by the typical red sand of the Australian deserts. To be honest, it's a bit scary and I hope the roof will still be where it belongs when this is over. We here in Australia have dust storms quite frequently, what we don't have are lots of local meteorite dealers to chose from. But there is at least one seller whose helpfulness and generosity I found to be outstanding: http://www.rocksonfire.com/home.html located in Melbourne and owned by Norbert and Heike Kammel . I can't recall the number of items I've bought from this business over the years but I remember well that I always felt like being treated as part of the 'family' every time I contacted them. So no matter where you live in this world, if you want excellent service and fair prices the address above is certainly worth to be checked out.

Re: [meteorite-list] Credit where credit is more than due
I too, have nothing but good things to say about Eric. When I first got into meteorites, I bought a lunar (DaG400) and a martian (SaU008) from him. These are both major outlays for a noob and I(partly due to dyslexia) entered his paypal address incorrectly. He was patient, understanding, communicative and ultimately I got it right and got my samples in first rate condition. He's helped me in other ways too regarding our passion since then, too. If I ever make it to Alaska, I'd love to meet up with him and buy him a drink. He's a top bloke and while we're in the good-will mode, I'd like to thank him for everything he's done for me and my attempts to forward meteorites to kids in Scotland. He's held in the highest regard in the UK.
