[meteorite-list] 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Own A Meteorite!

[AL Mitterling]

Hi Rhonda and all,

My first specimen was Canyon Diablo oxide but when I started to 
seriously collect, I bought a Canyon Diablo, Imilac and Allende CV3. Not 
bad first choices. Today with lunar material available I think that I 
would purchase a nice lunar specimen as those are truly unique and 
something that we can all relate to as we all see the moon from time to 
time in the sky.

You could buy HED's from Vesta or some of the many samples of Martian 
material that grace our collections.

You could buy the three main classes, a stony, iron and stony-iron so 
you could build from there. Might as well jump in and get really wet. 
The choices are really endless but most important buy something of 
interest and meaning to you Best!

figure out what exactly it should be.  I even thought
about asking it as a post -i.e., if you could choose
what your first metorite would be, what would you go
for, but thought that was too pedestrian for you guys.
