[meteorite-list] AD: Thin Sections, Festival Cancel Items

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Everyone,

A few items to tempt you.

I had a few pamphlets, programs and postcards canceled at the 2006 Meteorite 
Festival.  Only 3-4 programs.  A pamphlet and program is listed below and 
ends tomorrow.  It is my hope that sales from the cancelled items cover my 
cost of going to the event and everything.

And some thin sections.  These thin sections were made by the same people 
that NAU uses, I am sure some of you recognize the labels.  They are all 
high quality and for the most part, thin sections that have not been 
offered. Funds from the thin sections will go the Kansas Meteorite Society 
fund, not that we the Red Cross, but we have been pretty busy lately so your 
interest is appreciated.


The first is Essex.  I wrote a little article on Essex for the May 2004 
Meteorite Times shown here, http://www.meteoritearticles.com/Essex.html

Then I also helped the finder sell a couple slices, but he turned down my 
offer for the stone.  He did however, as thanks, make my a necklace of the 
meteorite.  The first in a collection of meteorite necklaces made by the 
finder that I own. About a year later (?). I got a phone call and purchased 
the stone.  While we (Kansas Meteorite Society) still owns the main mass, we 
will likely cut it soon for a museum trade.

The Wild Horse we purchased from a list member, who's well known meteorite 
hunting family got from the finder.  I was amazed how nice the chondrules 
are on this H5. I showed some images of the meteorite to Jack Murphy noting 
such and he suggested I send a piece to Rubin.  It was a while before we cut 
the stone, but we did end up sending Rubin a thin section and a small part 
slice.  The chondrules are so nice I was hoping it was an H3.9 or the like, 
but figured it had to be min. an H4.  Rubin agreed, H4.  I forwarded the 
information to Jack Murphy a year or so ago, who is working on a Colorado 
meteorite catalog, so I imagine he will include a note in the book when 
published.

The Wichita meteorite. I could type quiet a bit on this stone. Those 
casually reading this would likely prefer I just give a link to my Meteorite 
Times article.  So I will.

I don't think I have to tell anyone on the list about the Gold Basin 
meteorite.  How about I offer a free postcard if a list member purchases the 
thin section.  And reminds me...:^)
