[meteorite-list] FS vessiculated dho 700 and other achonderites

[stan .]

As many people suggested I offer any material tothe list before putting it 
up on ebay the last time I had asked about selling on ebay - I plan on 
offering the following:

2.0g Dhofar 700 vessicualted individual. This is the coolest stuff since 
ibitira - although the grain size of this material is signifigantly larger 
than that of ibitira - large grain size and gas vessicals dont seem to make 
sense - but there they are - plain as day.

5.4g Tatahouine - this small piece of tatahouine has the largest patch of 
fusion crust I have ever seen on this particular meteorite - an area of 
about 4x9mm - and even has some flow lines (although you need either a loupe 
or good eyes to see them)

4.1g cut fragment of a new polymict ureilite - this piece poped off when I 
was taking a slice off of a much larger mass. The stuff is a BEAR to polish 
- diamond content is nearly 2% and you can see the black viens of 
carbonaceous material standing up in relief against the matrix under 
magnification - thanks to the high carbon content. I will have a number on 
this stuff shortly and will pass it on to the buyer - if there is any 
question of the classification of the stone - just take it to a piece of 
1000 grit sandpaper - when you sand downt he sand paper and leave the cut 
surface untouched any doubt will instantly vanish :)

If these go on ebay they will go as a 1$ nr auction - but I'll accept 
reasonable offers till then. If I get decent response to this offering or on 
ebay I'll continue to offer cutting fragemnts and older small specimins form 
my collection for sale..

Email me for photos or more info

TIA
