[meteorite-list] Announcement...New Website is now up! Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders

[Don Merchant]

Hi List. I apologize that I have been away off the list for a long time. The 
reason is I decided to fulfill a long awaited dream of mine and create a 
website dedicated to meteorites and astronomy. I spent about a year and 
almost 2000 hours researching to put this together and ended up to be much 
longer then I anticipated. For those who know me I wanted to do it right and 
do not like to cut corners. This site is dedicated on my daughters birthday 
today, but is for all of you collectors out there and especially for those 
new to the field. There is no site like it in the world in my opinion. My 
eBay Info page will help many newbie's to the hobby and many of you will 
agree after viewing it, that it was about time something so detailed came 
along, which will help many new and veteran collectors. Though I have not 
listed any meteorites as of yet (shooting for first of the year) on my 
meteorite sales page, my format will be different then most of the dealers 
and sellers who already sell on their sites. I will not have the variety 
like they do. My plan is to only put up several type each couple of months. 
Those meteorites will be the rarest of the rare and hardest to acquire and 
or most historical. I posted about 5 months ago on my intentions of this 
website which is called Cosmic Treasures Celestial Wonders and wanted to 
thank those that contacted me with what I needed. I hope you will take the 
time to look over my site as it is very educational and the resources and 
tools will hopefully put me in your favorites! I designed this site for the 
new astronomer and new meteorite collector by using the many years I have 
involved with astronomy and meteorites and from the lessons I have learned. 
I hope my experience will suffice to all of you out there. Please feel free 
to pass my site along to those who you feel will gain from it. Hope you 
enjoy it and glad to finally have time to get back to the real world! My 
site address is below.
