[meteorite-list] FS: Park Forest 172.30g

[Brice D. Hornback]

I am considering letting my Park Forest 172.30g half-individual go.  My car 
decided the engine had lasted long enough and now I'm riding a motorcycle to 
and from work... and it's getting a bit cold.  :)  You all know the stories 
about Park Forest.  This piece was recovered the day of the fall *BEFORE* it 
started raining.  I was among the first to arrive at the site.  This 
specimen has *never* seen rain or moisture and has been sealed in an 
air-tight container since the day of the fall.  It is as perfect and fresh 
as the moment it was recovered.  It was also the specimen that was seen on 
Fox News late that evening.  Unfortunately, I had to leave that evening to 
get back to Indianapolis for work the next morning... so I left just as some 
others were arriving.  Mike Farmer had just checked into a hotel about the 
time I left Park Forest.

Here are some pics:

I'm not putting a price on this piece.  Email me *OFF LIST* with your BEST 
offer.  This is one of the nicest pieces to come out of Park Forest and is 
absolutely museum quality.  I would almost rather sell off my entire 
collection instead of this piece... and this may be the only time I *ever* 
even consider parting with it.  Also, I will not be listing this on eBay and 
will only sell it if I get a reasonable offer.  Don't think you're going to 
get this one cheap folks.

Take care,
