[meteorite-list] What else do you collect?

[Gary K. Foote]

Mike - I've always been a knife freak and have looked at the meteorite knives on ebay 
with some interest.  I haven't bought one yet, but I likely will soon.  I also collect 
cabs in many varieties.  My favorite is turquoise, but lots of other things interest me.  
I have a Brazilian Geode Enhydro that is just fantastic.  I also have samples of pure 
silica, petrified wood, impactites of many kinds, amber, volcanic melts and more.  I find 
my collection is more satisfying to me if it is diverse.  Meteorites led me oto this path 
but it gets wider every day.
