[meteorite-list] Old Woman Meteorite

[greg stanley]

Hi All:
   
  A friend of mine who lives near Washington DC actualy cut the Old Woman meteorite.  I remember it very well; it was the late 70's and when we got together, he would tell me how they cut it (with a wire) and it took months.  I also remember him telling me that Diamonds where found in meteorites - this really surprized me at the time.
   
  His name is Tim Rose and he is pictured standing next to a recently (cut) Old Woman meteorite in the book "Rocks from Outer Space."  It was pretty wild to see a friend pictured in a book.
   
  I have not talked to him in many years; I've lost touch through the years.  We would go rock and mineral hunting as well as spelunking. 
   
  Last May I began hunting meteorites in California and have done a lot of reading - I find the entire subject very interesting.
   
  I need to look my friend up and see what he remembers regarding Old Woman.

"And there was no reward for them??"

The Smithsonian did offer them a reward, but it was far less then the $1 
million they wanted. The finders took the position it was a million or 
nothing....and got nothing.

I have at least 100 Old Woman NPA's in my archive, of which only a few are 
listed here:
