[meteorite-list] New Martian, NWA 5789 Auctions Ending Sunday - AD

[Martin Altmann]

Hi Greg,

may we add for the list members some more information.
Dirk Hohmann (thank you) brought just this fine and easy to read article by
Jeffrey Taylor to our attention,
which describes the properties, formation and importance of the Yamato
980459 very well.

http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Dec06/Y-980459.html

That could be quite illustrative for the collectors and could help to
understand, why all are so excited about NWA 5789 and that it isn't just
another shergottite.

because there are already some indications, that NWA 5789 with its
similarities to Yamato 980459 could be even more primitive!


Indeed, several institutes showed interest to acquire material,
so at present, we can't foresee yet, whether or how much something will be
later left,
to make it publically available again.

Therefore I'd say, for those, who really want to be sure to get a sample of
this amazing stuff, it is indicated to take advantage from Greg's offer on
ebay.

Best!
Martin

Dear List Members,

The newest Martian meteorite, NWA 5789, an Anomalous (Provisional, with 
further studies under way), has been announced and confirmed by acquiring 
parties who were very fortunate to be a part of this amazing Martian 
meteorite discovery. I first announced this different planetary meteorite 
last week, with confirmation from the majority mass holders, Martian Altman 
(and Stefan Ralew) (congratulations, guys!!).

As Martin pointed out, very little material is available from the limited 
Total Known Weight of just 49 grams. From the samples I provided to two 
different institutions for the first confirmations of this new find, and 
then the further completing type sample provided by Stefan and Martin, there

is almost nothing available to collectors.

I have just seven specimens on eBay that will end tomorrow (Sunday, June 7th

at about 2:00 PM Florida time!). All of these were started at just 99 cents 
each, have bids and have many eBay, "Watchers", per auction. Those who are 
most interested are watching and will be bidding up to the end of these 
auctions!

This may be your only chance to acquire a sample of this newest of Martian 
meteorites, paired to nothing before!!

auctions: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZnaturesvault

"Thank You" for bidding and, Good Luck!

Best regards,
Greg
