[meteorite-list] Exciting New meteorite material....Mokoia, Wairarapa and Alta Ameem

[ensoramanda]

Hi Mike,

Yes Alta'ameem does seem a little fragile...my piece has one corner 
about to drop away,  not as fragile as the Mokoia though!

I had thought I might try and trade or auction some small pieces from 
them to improve my collection, but I have no idea of the value.  I 
suppose it depends if a collector is after unusual falls or New Zealand 
pieces or hammers.  Mokoia must be rarer than Moss and that seems to 
have caught peoples imagination.  Wairarapa is quite historic being the 
first found in New Zealand.  I have never seen Mokoia or Wairarapa 
available before.

Thanks for the advice...will you be at the show?

All the best
