Thank you Michael, nice to know that you still read the MetList. ;-)
And I will be there too.
And since we are talking about the Ensisheim Show, I have been meaning
to tell all of you and particularly the thin-section collectors that
this year I will have even more than I usually do.
Earlier this year I concluded a nice trade with Arizona State
University (Thank you Laurence!) and I received a box full of
thin-sections, some are famous (Allende, New Concord, Plainview.....)
some are rare (ever heard of Coomandook, Huntsman or Ulysses?) most are
ordinary chondrites but there are a few HED too, mostly Pasamonte,
Sioux County, Shalka. Anyone interested?
Also I will get just on time for Ensisheim my very first batch of
thin-sections cut from a pairing of NWA 7325, the green meteorite. This
one is NWA 8409, not published yet but here is what Dr. Irving has to
say about it:
SJS13004 (= NWA 8409) Ungrouped magnesian achondrite
The specimens have an overall primary cumulate igneous texture, and are
composed mainly of calcic plagioclase, Cr-bearing diopside
(Fs1.8-2.2Wo44.3-43.8; FeO/MnO = 12-15) and forsterite (Fa4.5-4.6;
FeO/MnO = 36-41) with accessory Cr-bearing troilite and kamacite.
Lobate forsterite grains are commonly associated with elongate pores.
Grain boundaries between plagioclase and diopside exhibit a complex
texture consisting of plagioclase laths within diopside or vice-versa,
together with finely distributed kamacite and troilite inclusions.
This material is paired with NWA 7325 and NWA 8014.
Of course, do let me know if you are interested by one of those.
Thank you.

I'll be there as usual. I think in the 15 years I only missed one? I am
coming a
lot lighter this year so if you want something specific, let me know in
advance.

ENSISHEIM “METEORITE 2014” NEWS
(June 1, 2014)
Dear meteorite friends & Meteorite-Central List,
Please find here below the latest update concerning the 15th edition
of
our meteorite show “Ensisheim-Meteorite 2014”, a very special event
(15th anniversary of the show and 30th anniversary of our Brotherhood
founding).
This completes the 2 advertisements sent to the Mineralogical journals
“Lapis” (in English) and “Le Règne Minéral” (in French),June issues,
as
well as the official flyers now published on our 2 web sites, namely:
Ensisheim City site:
www.ville-ensisheim.fr.
or http://www.ville-ensisheim.fr/p_rmeteorite2014.html
The “Confrérie” site:
www.confrerie-gardiens-meteorite-ensisheim.fr
The flyers will be published on these sites tomorrow Monday June 2.
You
can also find them attached to this announcement.
Some additional information:
TABLE RENTAL AND RESERVATION
The number of dealer tables is limited to a total of 52 (currently
accommodating about 45-60 dealers), not including the consignment room
that accommodates 6 tables with display cases.
The important reminder is that all tables are equal in size(160 x 80
cm).
The price (per table, NOT per meter) has increased slightly, following
the (surprising) suggestion by quite a number of dealers: 1 table =
155Euro, 2 tables = 300 euro, 3 tables = 430 euro.
Please plan your own lighting if needed (strictly limited to 250
W/table !).
All past dealers/guests have full priority to reserve their last year
table(s). Those who did not come last year (2013) have lost their
priority and will be considered “newcomers”.
To date, ALL 52 TABLES ARE BOOKED !
Sorry for those who were late in reserving but my January warning was
perfectly explicit on that point. Nevertheless a waiting list is now
open, should some of you still wish to rent a table. From experience,
2
to 4 tables are often released 3 weeks before the show starts.
The 2014 participants (including the main co-dealers) are (in
alphabetical order):
AFANASYEV Serge/RAZUMOVSKY Anatoly (RU), AISSAMI Abdellali(MA),
AITHIBA
Abdelhadi (MA), BARAKSHIN Andrey (RU), BLACK Anne (US), BECKER M.(D)
(?), BOURAGAA Ahmad/AID Mohamed (MA), CARION Alain (F), CHAOUI Rachid
(MA),CIMALA Marcin/MAZUREK Kazimierz (PL), COMPAGNUCCI Enzo (I),
DEHNER
Thomas (D),EGER Uwe (D), ENNAHI Larbi (MA), HABERER Siegfried (D),
HMANI Ali &Mohammed (MA), HUPĒ Greg (US), ISMAILY Sidi-Mohamed (MA),
JOSTMarc/PERRINJACQUET Roger (CH), KACHALIN Dmitry (RU), KALACHEV
Viacheslav (RU),KARL Joachim & Moritz (D)/FARMER Mike/STROPE Jim (US),
KNÖFEL André/GOETTLICHDavid (D), KOSER Hans (UY), KUNTZ Fabien/ PELĒ
Pierre-Marie (F), LABENNE Luc(F), PACER Gregor (D), PANI Ahmed (A),
PUSTOV Yuri (RU), RALEW Stefan (D), SBAIMohammed (MA) (?), SKORNIAKOV
Slava (RU), STALLING Ilmarin (D), SMULA Lukacz(PL), VASILIEV Sergey
(CZ), VINOGRADOV Aleksey (RU).
There will be more accompanying persons present on some tables. All
such people will receive a free badge, on the following basis: 1 table
reserved, 1 or 2 badges attributed; 2 tables, up to 3 badges; 3
tables,
up to 4 badges, etc.
If more people are officially part of a table team, they can either be
considered as “public” and pay 4 euro as entrance fee, or pay 10 euro
that includes the entrance and a badge. To make this possible, I will
need the full names of all accompanying persons as soon as possible,
so
we can write the corresponding badges in time.
The 6 consignment display-cases will contain meteorites, tektites,
impactites…from the following collections (list still open):
GABELICA Zelimir (B), JACQUES Benoît (B), JAWERBAUM Eduardo
(AR),SCHMITT-KOPPLIN Philippe (D), STEHLIK Harald (A), TURONE Oscar
(AR), VERLOOVENGuy (B), WENGERT Sigrid (D).
To avoid money transfer complications and bank fee, we ask that you
pay
the table rental in cash. Tables are to be paid on Saturday morning
between 7:30 and 9:30 to the treasurer, at the reception desk visible
from the entrance door of the Regency building. When they pay, the
dealers must wear (or ask for) their badge.
Since we do not require pre-payment, it would be very fair if, in case
of cancellation, you notify us enough in advance so that we can rent
your space to those who are on a waiting list.
People without badges are not considered dealers, cannot occupy
tables,
and are NOT allowed to sell meteorites elsewhere within the buildings
or on the Regency square.
Friday June 20 is the "DEALER’S DAY" devoted to the setting up of the
tables and booths.
The Regency halls are open to dealers exclusively (13:00 –17:30
sharp),
and NOT to the public. Dealers can also complete their tables
set-upearly on Saturday (7:30 – 9:30)
FOOD AND DINNER PARTIES
The traditional FRIDAY DINNER PARTY starts at 20:0 0inside the large
tent set on the square. The special 15th anniversary menu is detailed
in the flyer.
This party is more than recommended; it is there that folks from all
around the world meet, eat and drink but also make friends, set
business, start deals or…transform the world.
Needless to say, everybody (organizers, dealers, lecturers, public and
all their friends…) is warmly welcome!
If you want to attend, we just need to know the names of the persons
interested. A reservation is a must. You can reserve (ASAP please) by
phone (see flyer) or by sending me a mail.
The SATURDAY DINNER (not officially organized and thus free from any
reservation, traditionally takes place either in the “Boeuf Rouge”
restaurant, on the square or anywhere around it. Just come around the
Regency square where there will be music and dance and all you could
need to start relaxing…
SHOW THEME AND ACTIVITIES (see flyers)
Briefly, the special 15th anniversary show themes feature:
“MAN IN SPACE” (Astronaut Michel Tognini’s 2 lectures, rocket
models exhibition)
“BRITISH AND IRISH METEORITES”: Superb exhibit of selected
meteorite samples and related explaining posters, from the collections
of British and Irish Meteorite Society (BIMS) members, thanks to
Luther
Jackson, Graham Ensor and Martin Goff (all UK).
A specially built display window with designed protection against air
and/or humidity will be presented by Vincent Jacques (Brussels NHM) in
the consignment room. It will contain some outstanding examples of
very
interesting and/or showy meteorites.
---------------
I will be on vacation and away from my computer for the next 4 days
(June 2-5), and then I will be here to answer by emails all your
potential concerns and provide you with any kind of last minute update
or new information.
Remember! this 15th edition of the Show will be exceptional in terms
of
science and passion.
And I am more than confident that the traditional FUN will stay with
you at all times during these 2 great days, in space and time!
With my very friendly regards and sincere sympathy toeverybody,
Zelimir
