[meteorite-list] Sale and/or Photos - Oriented Amgala individuals

[Greg Hupe]

Dear Frank and List,

This is a fun subject. I knew I had a few oriented Amgala's in my 
collection, but when I looked through the 3 kilos or so of material I have, 
I found that I have 20 oriented Amgala's. Most are 100% crusted and have 
excellent features such as lip-over, flow lines and frothing, along with 
some that have a nice florescent "sheen" on the trailing end. There are a 
few that are just the beginning of orientation where you can see the black, 
thicker crust starting to roll over the less burnt brown layer.

Since I have so many, there is no need for me to hold all of these. What I 
will do is consider the highest offer on any of these 20 specimens. I will 
review all offers until Monday, December 6, 11:00PM EST (USA). I will 
contact the highest bidder and let them know if I accept their offer. I will 
most likely accept the highest bids so do not be bashful with your offers. I 
will not end one early as to give everyone a fair chance to make an offer up 
until the deadline.

Here is the list with picture links, even if you do not want to make an 
offer, they are worth looking at:
