[meteorite-list] My Annual Meteorite Sphere Collection Update

[David & Kitt Deyarmin]

I am very proud to report that I was able to add 8 spheres to my collection 
this year :)

When I started this collection in May of 2006 I never dreamed I would own 
many of the specimens I have.  I could have collected slices or end cuts 
which is what most people focus on but I decided to collect spheres, more 
specifically, 50mm spheres. At first, this condition seem to make it very 
difficult to add new specimens to my shelf. Now, here it is 2 years later 
and I have most of the specimens I never thought I would have such as the 
Brahin, Toluca, Dronino, Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule and the Libyan Glass. 
Plus I have many specimens I never even considered such as the NWA 791, 
Nininger Brick and Uruacu.


I realize that I was extremely fortunate this year but I don't have high 
expectations for the coming year, I think I'll be lucky to add 2-3 new 
spheres to my
collection.
