[meteorite-list] Proud owner of World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorite

[Greg Hupe]

Hi Eric,

"A+ a very nice example of highy weathered chondrite with caliche and fractures." Perfect!!

You just gotta love those ugly ducklings!

Thanks again for the purchase, glad they are making their way to good homes where they will be loved regardless of their "non-model" appearance.

Best regards,
Greg

  Greg's reference to the World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorites has prompted me to make my first post to the list.  I am the proud owner of the World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorite lot from Greg.  I would second's Greg's opinion that these things are mighty ugly.  However,  beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Here is some feedback from one person that I sold one of the specimens to: 

  "A+ a very nice example of highy weathered chondrite with caliche and fractures."

  The specimens from that lot have also wowed the kids I coach (although more "traditional" iron meteroites are a bigger hit).  



  Thanks!

  Hi Bernd and List,

  There are "ugly" meteorites! In fact, last Halloween I offered and 
  sold "The 
  World's Ugliest Halloween Meteorite". It went for an "excellent" price 
  to a 
  new "proud" owner. It was a "fine" mix of "unbelievable" Orange and 
  Black 
  colors and many broken fragments. It was truly "ugly", but I am still 
  "proud" to have discovered it with a batch of other chondrites. It is 
  said 
  the ugly is only skin deep, but I believe that one was ugly all the 
  way 
  through ;-)

  Best regards,
  Greg
