Oh Matteo, give me another hour, and I will post yet
another piece, identical to yours (yes, it is more
yellow/white) and broken off of the piece loaded on
ebay. Matteo, you are admitting right now, that you
have no paperwork, no classification, no data, and no
CLUE! You just looked at the meteorite you loaded on
eBay, and decided to lie to your eBay customers and
called it an Aubrite. You are the problem with
commercial meteorite dealers. You will lie, cheat, and
just call them what you want, and it hurts those of us
who wait for months or years for classifications on
our stones. You hurt the buyers who get ripped off and
decide that they no longer want to collect meteorites.
And those of you who keep buying from Matteo, well,
don't come on here later and cry that you weren't
warned!

2007-01-03 Thread PolandMET
My god,
Dont You think that this thread is insane ?
Just ignore him Mike. His specimen, his problem.

If someone will buy Matteo aubrite it is HIS problem. If he will buy it 10 
times more expensive this is thread beetween seller and buyer. If someone 
belive that Matteo is honest and this is aubrite then super. I will not buy 
it becouse I dont want and I have enough the same material.

Also 1 or 2 years ago was there big fight under thread that "My meteorites 
are better than Yours" where some dealers say that pairing from photos is 
not proffesional and wrong and we cant do that to use someone else numbers 
under "possible paired". So lets leave this thread.

You know it is EL3, I think its EL3, Matteo know it is Aubrite, Mohamed from 
Morocco know it is his new 4x4 LandRover and George Bush know it is new 
Lunar and everyone is happy and noone change his own opinion even if we will 
send there 1000 new emails with 10 000 proofs about "why aubrite is EL3".

e

And tooday I have my 30th birthday :) so make me gift and stop this crap.

Thanks for your input Marcin, but no thanks, 
Matteo has pulled another scam, Dirk pointed it out,
and I am calling him on it. 
I can not believe that you would stand there and say
that you would ignore a dealer selling false material.
I will protect my buyers and my business (the
meteorite business) by calling out a fake when I see
it! Next time you get into a spat with someone, I will
be there to tell you to shut up, so don't worry.

Dear Marcin, Mike, Matteo and List,
 Science and this hobby relies upon honesty and authenticity ( and 
repeatable science), and this topic is very important.  This does NOT have to 
concern Matteo only, personally; it should concern all of us.
 I call Matteo to provide some evidence that the meteorite has been 
classified IF he is selling it as an Aubrite or as something else.  Mike`s 
material does not necessarily apply because it IS from the same material as NWA 
2965 (provisional); it has a pedigree.  Matteo`s material`s pedigree is 
questionable and the material visually looks the same as NWA 2965 (It may be or 
it MAY be an Aubrite as Matteo`s "data???" supports.  Matteo  would  you 
provide some evidence that there is analysis AND why you have no provisional 
number IF it is classified?  You seem to be sidestepping the DATA issue.
When you provide your data Matteo I will then remain quiet and apologize IF 
needed.  Thank you.

Dear Listees;
I would like to comment that back in the dark days of meteorites a 
number of years ago, WE discussed issues for seemingly ages (1998-2001?) 
and then WE invented the IMCA to protect the world from fraudulent 
meteorite dealersthen, a weak IMCA booted out Matteo for being less 
than honorable back then.  Years 
later...(now).an even weaker IMCA can do nothing 
about Matteo and others that are not members..and new 
list members whine about the banter.such is the history that lives 
on in our time.
And, due to a bunch of this non binding, non back 
bonemore banter is welcomed if we are to keep honesty to 
a premium I would think.   Leopards and spots comes to mind.
I have recently given up on IMCA.  I am in good company on this side of 
the fence as well.  When the Organization can do little, it should be up 
to the individuals to raise the red flags, even if it bothers some 
individuals delete finger.  Fraud is fraud, it hurts the meteorite 
market in general..geeze didn't this topic come up a thousand times 
in the past eight or nine years??


Mike is right to stir the pot, if private individuals don't get the word 
out, who will, the IMCA? Surely not our honest friends at eBay either.


Should IMCA  go to ebay with reasonable proof, and censure Matteo's 
activities?   Depends on the lawyers opinion and what you think you pay 
your dues for I suppose.  Mean time, it "ain't gunna happen"..

Dear Matteo and List:

Question 1) By your own statement you are NOW
Admitting NO analysis was done (0r is completed) on
your "Aubrite??" specimen before calling it an
Aubrite?  Yes or No?

  Matteo, friendship does not pend on one asking
another IF he is correct or not.  Many friends do.  I
did off-list and got no response from you.  So, I
asked you on-list and still no reply.

  And now your reply, IF your English phrasing is
correct you are saying that the material has NOT been
analyzed???

Please answer my QUESTION 1. YES or NO. Has it been
analyzed (completed). IF your answer is NO then pull
your auction!! or admit that you have not been telling
the truth.  

  Thank you.  Sincerely, Dirk Ross..Tokyo

this is incorrect. The scientists originally classifying 2965 and others 
thought the 'blue' and 'brown' material were unique finds - but several 
specimins were recovered that hsowed both lithologies in the same piece. 
While such examples are EXCEEDINGLY rare they DO exist. See: 
http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_NWA2965.HTM as an example. Better 
examples exist but i dont have any pics i can link handy.


I may not be a scientist or offical classifyer or anything - but i have 
personally pawed through over half a ton of this material making me the 
worlds foremost expert on it's apearance...

Hello,

Stan mentioned a better photo of the transition between the brown and 
blue components of NWA 2965 than that on my webpage. He sent me the 
following excellent picture some time ago, I believe from NAU 
originally, that best illustrates this transition:

Thanks to Stan and David.
This is a very good example of the old saying " one picture is worth a 
thousand words."

Hi John and List,

If you want to see many more fine examples, go to eBay and type "NWA 2828". 
I loaded several slices and complete stones where you can see this 
occurrence and of the fresher material. I wasn't going to try and make this 
a sale ad but it is an ongoing thread of interest.

Best regards,
Greg

Dear Greg and List,
  Greg, if you are agreeing that this is a paired
meteorite with NWA 2965 (prov) then why don`t you
mention it in your eBay sales information; and yes the
offically NomCom recorded TKW of NWA is ?25kgs, but
with your eBay AD the buyer is lead to conclude that
there isn`t another 1000kgs of paired meteorite on the
market?
  Thank you for addressing this on the list.  I am
sure other metlist members would like to understand
your reasoning also.  Best Regards, Dirk...Tokyo

Re: [meteorite-list] EL6/7 meteorite loaded on eBay for one cent.4.779 kilograms.

2007-01-05 Thread Greg Hupe
Hi Dirk and List,

Ah, I see I didn't make the change to these older unsold lots when I 
re-loaded them earlier this morning. If you look at one of the last 
paragraphs, I had made this change ready for the start of next week's 
auctions:


"Oxygen isotope results were obtained at the Carnegie Institution in 
Washington D.C. Further studies are underway on NWA 2828 including bulk rock 
chemical analysis at the University of Cologne, and attempted measurement of 
terrestrial age using carbon isotopes at the University of Arizona. The 
Total Known Weight (TKW) for NWA 2828 is officially recorded as 34,186 grams 
consisting of many stones. With pairings, the combined weight is in access 
of 100kg."



I was sent a direct link to the abstract which mentions the pairing numbers 
and but it does not seem to work as a link because of some difficulty with 
the hosting site. We went round and round last month trying to make it work, 
but had to settle without the link. I am sure a quick Google search for "NWA 
2828" will result in finding the abstract which is the same as I posted to 
the list earlier.

I will have to go back to the eBay auctions and make the changes when I get 
done with some other duties here.

I would not agree with your statement that there is "...another 1000kgs..." 
of this material. When this was first thought (and classified) to be an 
aubrite, I was in Morocco no less than every 30 days buying up all of the 
"blue" or "fresher" material (NWA 2828 at the time). Even with the 
realization and work of Drs Tony Irving and Ted Bunch, among others, the 
more weathered material combined with the fresher blue material did not 
amount to that much. I saw first hand what was available, what I bought 
and/or left behind (none of the blue that I saw).

Anyway, we could ramble on for days (again), but I think this horse has been 
beaten, rode hard and sent out for collectors to consider.

Happy Trails!
Greg
