[meteorite-list] Micromounts.

[Dave Freeman mjwy]

Good evening collectors large and small;
For those new to the list, those small tiny pieces are known as 
"Bessy-Specks" after the honorable Dean Bessy who first pioneered those 
affordably prices smaller denomination sized....well, specks. A great 
way to add lunar or martian pieces to a budding collector's budget 
minded collection.........until he finds a great big pallesite which 
would be called "Arnold's Luck" after the most honorable Steve Arnold 
(not of CHICAGO).
Best Wishes,
Dave  Freeman
