[meteorite-list] New Canadian Meteorite for sale

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Hi All,

  I would have responded earlier but our Internet connection was not the 
best. We just flew in from Canada today.  What is a fair price per 
gram?   I would say it is up to the individuals that took the time and 
effort to get out in the field to do the recovery work. I knew before 
leaving home that if we were lucky enough to find any material that we 
would have to leave it in Canada and go through the proper channels to 
obtain this legally.  Most of the area where the fall took place has 
been locked up with NO TRESPASSING signs posted. We were fortunate 
enough to negotiate a deal with the owners of some private property. We 
have been told the chances of any material leaving Canada with a permit 
is almost impossible. How nice would it be to have a new Canadian 
meteorite from a witnessed fall with proper documentation? This is my 
first time to pick up a meteorite as fresh as this. You can almost rub 
off the fusion crust and the interior is bright white. I will have a 
picture showing the interior of the meteorite posted within the next 
couple of days. So lets keep our fingers crossed to have these 
meteorites in the U.S.A within 6 months to a year. I was thinking about 
playing a joke on Mccartney and placing a meteorite in his backpack to 
see if he could make it through customs and once we made it into the 
U.S.A telling McCartney  "Hey half of the meteorite is mine!"  Just 
teasing.


Thanks,
Sonny
