All, Thanks, Mike. I should also mention that Eric Olson was kind enough to make what was a fairly complicated first cut (and take the preparation of that piece to the finish line), and it was comforting to know that the lapidary expertise behind NWA 482 was at the wheel. We only took a small por

Did you pick up and look at that rock? If you are very lucky, maybe the kid picked up a meteorite!!;-) But seriously, I hope the father is going to pay for all the damage to your car. And maybe you can get the kids to do the painting, as punishment. Anne M. Black _www.IMPACTIKA.com_ (htt

Hi All, Have you ever thought of a meteorite hitting your car? Better yet, while you were in it? Well that's not what happened today! I was driving home after buying some paint for the house when out of nowhere a rock the size of a baseball hits my hood and then smashes into my windshield cau

Hi All! I have a fresh copy of the Tuscon Gem and Mineral Show 2008 guide - the 500 page softcover Exhibitor Listing and Maps. I bought this for $15 shipped and I looked through it, now I don't need it any longer. Rather than let it collect dust, I'll pass it along. It's in excellent almost-new

Hello Matteo, Mike Farmer and List, I don't think that pieces of this meteorite-dropping fireball came down as far south as Zurich. Of special interest are those eyewitness reports that did not only see light phenomena but also heard a thunderclap or something like a rolling of thunder. Assuming t
