[meteorite-list] NWA meteorites, TO BE OR NOT TO BE?

[Adam Hupe]

I think they will BE.  As most scientists and knowledgeable collectors will tell 
you, a meteorite doesn't care where it lands.  I think they will be greater 
appreciated when the economy gets better and there is very little left to argue 
about.  They are not mere commodities as some would like you to think and they 
are not a readily renewable resource.  I feel it was very fortunate for them to 
fall in Northwest Africa where the climate preserves them well and the world's 
best recovery team was there to collect them. The gold rush has been over for 
some time reaching its pinnacle a few years ago.  It is time to find the next 
plateau, will it be the Mojave or Mexico? 



Happy Collecting.
