[meteorite-list] Brenhams in Lucite in Tucson

[MeteorHntr at aol.com]

Hello List,

I arrived in Tucson last night after the long  drive.  It is great to be back 
in town. 

In addition to seeing many  familiar faces, I was excited to have a chance to 
see the batch of Brenham  meteorite slices that Geoff Notkin and I 
commissioned to be placed in  Lucite.  The shipment arrived in Tucson on Saturday.

Not only should  this embedment be a permanent fix on the Brenham rusting 
issue, these pieces  have turned out to be VERY beautiful.  Many will not even  
recognize these as Brenham.  

The meteorite that we took these slices from was from a  Brenham specimen 
that Geoff and I found a couple of months ago during the  filming of our new TV 
show that is scheduled to air on Discovery's Science  Channel in May.  So, the 
items are more than just pretty Brenham slices,  they are affordable mementos 
of the TV program as well.  
 
I am pretty sure this is the first one-hour TV show  entirely devoted to 
meteorite hunting, so here is your chance to grab a piece of  history.  This is a 
true meteorite collectible.

When the TV show  airs, and your friends who know that you are into 
meteorites say "Hey, did  you see that new TV show about meteorites?"  You can respond 
"Yea, I saw  it, and not only that, I have an actual piece of that first 
meteorite that Geoff  and Steve dug up on the show, right here..."  And you can 
hand them  your very own slice in Lucite.

We had just 100 part slices, all the same  size, put into Lucite, and if you 
are in Tucson, you have to stop buy Geoff and  Anne's room to take a look at 
them.  Some of the slices have VERY green  colored crystals, and a few are very 
translucent, enough so that they  almost have an "Esquel look" to them when 
the light comes through from  behind.

We are making these 100 each a "Limited Edition Tucson Show 2009  
Collectible."   Each numbered "___out of 100" with a C.O.A. and a  photo from the TV 
shoot included.

There are 8 pieces that I "high graded"  as exceptional, and those will have 
a premium on their price.  As for the  other 92, they are all the same size, 
but there are varying degrees of quality  in the pieces, and in their 
translucency, but all of those will be kept at the  same basic unit price. 

So, I would suggest that if anyone is interested  in looking at them, or in 
buying one, the sooner you get by Geoff and  Anne's room at the InnSuites, the 
better the remaining selection you will  have to choose from. 

On another note, I am in town with a batch of  other specimens that I am 
carrying around.  A lot of little  items.  So if anyone is interested in looking 
at what I have, call me on my  Cell at 620-770-9612 and we can arrange to meet 
up and I can show you want I  have.

Oh, and the Birthday Bash is revving up to be the best ever this  Friday...I 
can't wait.  I hope to get to see many of you there again this  year.

OK, I am off now to check out all the stuff here...
