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

[ensoramanda]

Hi Bob and all,

I did not intend this to become a string about trading and hope it is 
not becoming an advert for this.
I was just genuinley excited about aquiring the rare material.

I do not want this to go against list rules.  I will just say that I 
only have a small amount of each and so would only want to loose a few 
grams.  I am heading for the Tucson show with the hope of filling gaps 
in my collection with perhaps gujba, millbillillie or a stable 
pallasite.  So if I might be willing to trade for similar but I dont 
feel I really have enough to get anything substantial unless someone is 
really desperate for Mokoia, Alta'meem or Wairarapa Valley.

Please contact me off list if you wish as I do not want to break list 
rules. I think the importance of the list  lies in gaining knowledge and 
spreading enthusiasm by discussion.

Best regards

Graham Ensor
