[meteorite-list] Meteorite Easter

[MexicoDoug]

Hi Matthias,

Thank you for flaring the embers to hunt for our favorite charcoal colored
stones this Easter week.  That ditty was spontaneously kindling, and now
it's time to oblige the spirits, not leaving them anxiously awaiting ...

Best Wishes and Great Health,
Doug

Dear list members,

with this short text by Georgian author Grigol Robakidse (1882-1962) I want
to wish all of you
(dealers, collectors, curators, hunters, scientists, well: just you, folks
;-)

Happy Easter!

(I tried to do the translation myself, sorry for mistakes)

Ein Meteorsplitter liegt auf dem Felde in einer unheimlichen Ruhe, die mit
der Ruhe eines gewöhnlichen Steines nicht zu vergleichen ist: es scheint,
als erharre der vom Himmel gefallene Stein hellwach irgend etwas. Das Feuer
in ihm ist völlig ausgebrannt, doch ohne Asche zurückzulassen. Man kann sich
des Eindrucks nicht erwehren, der schwarze Splitter könne plötzlich in
Flammen ausbrechen.

A meteorite splinter lies on the field in a weird silence, incomparable with
the silence of a common stone: seemingly the stone, fallen from sky, awaits
something, wide awake. The inherent fire has totally burnt out, but without
leaving behind any ashes. One can't refuse to expect the black splinter to
suddenly break out in flames again.
