Beautiful, indeed. I think it looks better than St. Michel. The difference is
that even the tiniest slices are loaded. Wait until you see better photos!
Steve's been busy on the saw and keeping the hotel guests up.

It looks identical to St. Michel from Finland.
L6 breccia. Beautiful meteorite, we are lucky with this one that at least many
pristine stones are being found. I would kill to have a multi-kilo piece though.

Hey All,
It was a rewarding day outside of West today.
We got out of the field to the steak house then back to the hotel room and
broke out the rock saw. I cut one of the 97 stones our team has found so far,

I am currently working on a nice format to use for COAs on higher priced
material... This is what I have come up with and want to know your
thoughts/ideas/suggestions.

I think this offers a very nice look and gives the basic info
$100/g may seem pricey but then we are collectors of extraordinary (indeed,
extraterrestrial) material.
If commercial value is to be placed on such items, I think the rarity of such
material would qualify it as more valuable than they actually sell for.
Out of interest, just how much do dealers
If I were one of you hunters down there in West, TX (..I wish), I would take my
total travel costs, lost wages, ect.. not even including hours spent head

First let em say that I would really like to get a sample of this fall.
now to the topic at hand...
I see an agenda from the hunters to set a higher value then the meteorite is
worth, and I think that may also be leading to some troubles.
I am reminded of Carancas... it sold at $100 per gram and
