Hello List,
I have a few very nice historical and rare specimens from my personal 
collection that I am accepting offers on for sale or trade.  If you are 
interested please contact me.

Dar Al Gani 735, Shergottite, found in 1996-97.  This is Martian 
material that is rarely offered in larger sizes, mostly only seen in 
micro form.  Large thin full slice that weighs 15.6 grams.

Dhofar 925- Lunar from the KREEP region of the moon, it weighs 6.856 
grams and is a thin large endcut.  This is the main mass of the main 
mass of the Dhofar grouping and there have been only two other 
classifications of KREEP region ever.  This is a very rare type of lunar.

Dhofar 1289- L4, found December 3, 2004, weight: 15 kilo's  A nice 
looking specimen and large in size.  Large meteorites such as this are 
difficult to find.

Imilac- A 162 gram individual that is beautifully shaped like a rose.  A 
wonderful specimen from this awesome pallasite find.

Moldavite-  An oval cut gem stone that is incredibly beautiful and 
weighs 32.2 cts.

New Orleans, Louisiana- These specimens were found at Nashville Ave. and 
Tonti St. intersection, New Orleans, Louisiana. This meteorite fell 
September 2003. These specimens were found by one of the researchers 
from the University of New Orleans. Also included is the collection tool 
used by the researchers.  There are around a 100 micro specimens, many 
with crust and one fragment that weighs .85 grams.

NWA 1906- Classified as a R4 this endcut shows great multi-colored 
interior features and weighs 68 grams.

NWA 2965-  A great example of this extremely rare classification (EL3) 
and this is the blue interior version that is thin and long and would be 
great with a cut face showing the interior.  4195 grams.

Weston, CT- First American fall December 14, 1807. This meteorite is 
classified as a H4 and this piece has great fresh fusion crust.  Weighs 
8.9 grams.  This material was offered for a short time a few years ago, 
and this specimen was the dealers collection piece.  A very historic 
meteorite with many stories.

Zagami, Nigeria- Fell on October 3, 1962 near a farmer working in his 
field.  These thin part slices are around 1 mm thick and I have pieces 
weighing up to 1 gram.


Have a great weekend,
