[meteorite-list] Need Help Obtaining North Carolina Meteorites

[Ed Deckert]

Hi List,

I am looking to hopefully obtain some specimens of North Carolina meteorites 
that I can display while I am out selling meteorite and tektite specimens to 
raise funds for my Astronomy club's Observatory Building fund.  I had some 
GREAT help from list members obtaining the pieces I was selling.  I thank 
you for that!!!  But the North Carolina pieces I want to get will not be for 
sale, they will be just for display purposes.  I want to display some 
interesting items so as to get folks more interested in what I am doing. 
That way, I am doing than simply selling things.  The educational value is 
great, and it may get some more folks interested in collecting.  The fact 
the specimens are from their "home state" will usually get their attention.

I was out at Tri Star (an annual, local astronomy event) this past weekend 
and displayed/sold a nice amount of meteorites and tektites.  I gave a local 
school system's Science teacher who was in attendance a baggie with about 75 
grams of small unclassified NWA's for his classroom.  He was most 
appreciative.

Anyway - back to the North Carolina pieces.  Part slices are fine.  Size 
does not have to be big, perhaps a half gram or so, depending on price.  A 
good surface to weight ratio is a plus.  I know there are several North 
Carolina falls and finds, and I have been looking around online a lot, but 
so far I have only seen Monroe available.

If you have something to offer, please contact me off list.  I don't have 
lots of extra cash to spend, so if possible, I need your best price.

Many thanks for your time!
