Hi Friends and Collectors,
I have a few updates to my inventory that some of you might be
interested in. First, I listed some more pieces of the new weird
mesosiderite NWA 6953. There are polished endcuts and uncut fragments
ranging in size from 1g to over 5g.
I also listed a large number of meteorite-related journals and
magazines, including the Journal of Meteoritics from 1974, several
recent MAPS journals (2011 and 2012), a Meteorite Magazine (11/2011)
and three different Elements Journals (one of these focuses on
meteorite impact craters). Buy any 4 magazines or journals and get a
free issue of MAPS (your choice). Or, if someone really wants all of
these journals, contact me off-list and make an offer on the whole lot
of them.
Some of you may recall the meteorite maps that my soninlaw makes. His
most recent one is a map of the United States with over 100 falls,
finds and craters shown. After I announced these maps, some of you
contacted me with suggested meteorites to add to the map and to
correct a couple of typos. The final map has now been printed and it
includes several more locations from Canada and the US.
As always, you get 20% off all prices by using the coupon code
"metlist" at checkout.
Here are a few new offerings - macros, whole stones, and specimens
that are larger than what I usually deal with. The Juancheng stone is
especially nice. It is 100% crusted, has subtle regmaglypts, and a
nice shape to it. It is really too nice to slice up. So I am hoping
it finds a home with a collector who is reading this.
The Vaca Muerta specimen has a large round metal nodule in it that
makes up about 75% of the specimen, with just a little stony silicate
matrix on each side of the nodule. This piece gave me fits while
trying to cut it. My small trim-saw doesn't handle irons very well,
and this specimen was very difficult to cut. The pictures don't
really do it justice.
