Dear list,

to all who contacted  me on the article about the Santa Vitoria do Palmar 
meteorite in the current  issue of Meteorite Magazine: thank you for your 
compliments, which I will  also forward to Dr. Greshake from the MNB. Because 
I did not yet receive my  copy, I have not seen which images made it into the 
final version of the  story. That is why I can not answer questions regarding 
the pictured samples  at the moment. Basicly all material has been sold, 
except two large slices,  to beautiful to cut apart. One of these we 
currently offer on ebay. The  current price is only a minute fracture of our 
acquisition price.

If  interested we recommend quick action as the auction ends  tonight.

The  beauty of the material and the low TKW in mind we are convinced that 
Santa  Vitoria will rapidly vanish from the market. The 34kg mass is lost 
pending  further notice since 2004, the remaining 10kg main mass has already 
been  sold at this year's Denver show. The rest is locked up at the local 
Museum  in Santa Vitoria do Palmar / Brazil.

Best regards

I  have received my copy of Meteorite Magazine and I can certainly recommend 
the  great article Svend wrote about this beautiful meteorite. But if you want 
 to see all the pictures in color you will have to go to Svend's site:  
_www.niger-meteorite-recon.de_ (http://www.niger-meteorite-recon.de)     And while 
you are there you might want to read about some of his expeditions in  the 
Tenere. Great articles, and great pictures. 
And yes, the main mass of  Santa Vitoria do Palmar was bought during the 
Denver Show by Blaine Reed, Robert  Cucchiara and myself. The mass was then 
divided and they chose to have their  third sliced. Mine reminded whole, so I now 
have the main mass of Santa Vitoria,  and some slices I previously obtained from 
Svend. Here is a picture of the  main mass:

ask if you are interested.   
 
Thank you Svend for bringing this beautiful meteorite to the world.
