[meteorite-list] AD: Introducing Low CRW meteorites

[Martin Altmann]

Hola list,

in getting common with Kevin's new price finding tool, the Catalogue
Repository Weight, CRW,
I loaded up two examples on ebay, where tkw and crw enormously differ.

Sao Juliao de Moreira, an IIAB-iron, where the whereabouts of the main mass
of 159kg of 162kg tkw (and Sao Juliao was a single stone) is unknown since
more than 100 years:

And the most underrated observed fall of the last 20years: Kunya-Urgench.
With it's whopping 1000-1100kg listed tkw the fourth largest stone fall
ever, ordinnary H5,
but the CRW??  Almost all of the tkw is in that 900kg stone, which is
nowadays a national treasure, not much was exported, no specimens of size
are available anymore.
The collectors are thinking that it's not so urgent to buy it, with this
enormous tkw and may tend to think, as an H5, it has to be paid like
Gao-Guenie.
2 years it took until I sold my 167g chunk, which was for all that time by
far the largest specimen in the web - Gosh, I gave it away for a price of a
heavily stained Zag! (But it's now with a person, who deserves it).

And finally, because all were so exited, I listed an excellent slice of a
lunaite, a classic fragmental breccia, which rivals or even beats Mike's new
find in freshness (Caaaaalm, calm, peace on Earth, I won't throw it away at
150$/g, but I'm offering it at a lower price than then finder).
A beauty - enjoy!!
