[meteorite-list] 24 gram Pahrump Meteorite Find 12-29-2012

Guenther,

Very nice indeed! That thing is so fresh, it probably fell in the last 
year or two.

Congrat's on your most excellent find.


Sincerely,

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your compliments and all the personal emails I've received 
from
many list members.

It was an amazing find and I still can't get over the excitement. I 
think
this is  really special find and I can't wait to get it classified and
valued!

BTW: I have always been apprehensive about setting up a Facebook page 
but
today I finally went ahead and made one. I didn't even have a personal 
page
until today. The page I created today is devoted to Meteorite Hunting 
And
Other Adventures so, if anyone has any great stories, feel free to share
them here: http://www.facebook.com/MHAOAdventures. The main reason for 
not
setting up a Facebook page sooner was that I was afraid I might not be 
able
to keep up with updating it and I can't stand stale websites - I'm a
perfectionist and I can't stand myself sometimes. :)

This marks the second cold find for me. Stories of both finds are on my 
new
Facebook page if anyone is interested to read more.

Guenther

Nice find, Guenther!

That's a fresh, beautiful chondrite. Well done! It looks so fresh, I 
wonder
if this could possibly be from the recently witnessed Southern CA-NV 
meteor
event?
