[meteorite-list] Meteorite 20 Questions - Answer and Share if you Dare. :)

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

1) When did you start collecting? (how long ago)

2) What first interested you about meteorites?

3) What was your first meteorite purchase, and from whom?

4) How many meteorites or localities do you currently have in your collection?

5) If you had to know for insurance purposes, what do you value your
entire collection at? - in dollars - ballpark figure OK, or just say
"none of your business".

6) What is your favorite meteorite and why?

7) Have you ever found a meteorite in the field?

8) Did you ever get the deal of a lifetime on a meteorite?  If so, what was it?

9) Did you ever go through the ordeal of a lifetime to obtain a
meteorite?  If so, please explain.

10) Have you ever consumed meteoritic material?  (If so, how or under
what circumstances?)

11) Does your spouse share your meteorite passion, is ambivalent
towards it, or resents it?

12) Have you ever let a bill go unpaid or late to buy a meteorite?

13) A perfectly oriented, fully crusted, baseball-sized, lunar
meteorite crashes through your roof and lands in your lap while you
are reading this.  It's the most gorgeous aesthetically-superior
specimen you have ever seen - like Lafayette, but better.  It legally
belongs to you.  What do you do with it?

14) Statistics have caught up with someone.  Anne Hodges will no
longer be the only documented person to be struck by a falling
meteorite.  Assuming the next person struck could be anyone and you
could pick that person, who would it be?  (silly answers only, nothing
mean or political)

15) You are awarded the honor of selecting one specimen to keep from
any meteorite collection in the world.  What would it be?

16) Have you ever sold or donated your entire collection, and then had
to rebuild it?

17) Summarize what you think about tektites in one sentence.

18) Which do you prefer - thin sections, whole specimens, slices, or endcuts?

19) Do you collect meteorwrongs?

20) Have you ever dropped a tiny crumb of a rare meteorite and lost it?
