Guys, this is one of the most beautiful stones out there. The reddish tint is
rare but has been seen on many pristine falls before. Berduc and Bensour and
others have a very red tint on select pieces.
Relax, news is coming from the owner et al.

I guess we need to have a definition of "rare", "very rare", "scarce", etc. We

each of us.
In any case, yes I remember

Agreed!
Howsabout a similar listing of Martians?

Matt & all,
I think the "not so rare" is in reference to when there
Were only 6 known SNCs and ONE known lunar. (anyone
Remember when Bob Haag had THE only one - walnut
Sized?)
So, in that context, "not so rare" makes perfect sense.

Hi Anne,
It seems you are getting flack for the "not so rare anymore"
Phraseology, but "Rare" is a relative term so not worth ongoing
Debate.
My question is this: Is this "one of our top experts" willing
To put up a web page listing all these lunars and Martians? If
Not, would he b
I agree with Adam. I, too, have noticed that images of some meteorites,
including fresh falls, may appear black or brownish depending on the
lighting conditions (type, white balance, flash/no flash, angle) and
camera exposure... even though they may look black to the naked eye. I
think all
that would be a cool way to find meteorites! thanks for the info!

Hi Jim and All,
Jim asked if an older meteorite has ever been found while hunting for a new
fall... Yes! Jack Schrader not only discovered the first Whetstone Mountains
meteorite, he also found a completely different meteorite while hunting
there. I forget the name of that one at the moment, t
According to Sonny's story, that guy is a scammer and so the meteorite
in the photo is most likely NOT a Battle Mountain stone. It
absolutely does not look like a fresh fall. Bob & Moni's find,
however, does look fresh, just a little dirty.

I have not seen any of this material first-hand but I was thinking the same
thing when I saw Bob Verish's images. Perhaps it rained in Northern Nevada or
many times fresh falls take on a brownish hue. If the miner's stone was found
within a few hours of the fall, then I would think the stones
Wow interesting story Sunny. Glad to hear you two didn't get arrested
for fighting. I'm a little surprised you go out into the field with
an old hand gun. I guess you feel that is sufficient protection. And
you took his word on a picture only. So the question is who ended up

I had the exact same impression. This one looks like a somewhat weathered NWA.
Could be the lighting.
But, Adam Hupe reported multiple finds so far so this could be legit.

Hi Gang,
Is it just me, or does the meteorite the miner is holding look more
weathered or desert-varnished than a fresh fall should be? The
"crust" looks light-medium brown and somewhat glossy. It looks the

I just asked a few days ago, and one of our very top experts told me
