[meteorite-list] Admire Pallasite Destruction!/Brenham

[W&S Schroer]

Hello Adam, listees,

there's still good Brenham material out there that doesn't fall apart as 
soon as it arrives. A couple of years ago I bought a 400g slice of Brenham 
from Rob Wesel. It's extremely well polished and prepared and it still looks 
'as new'.

But there's more. When my slice arrived here in Australia, it was in several 
pieces despite being wrapped up as it should be. Although I didn't have 
insurance, Rob offered me a replacement without hesitation and it was even 
better than the original slice.

I don't know wheather Rob still sells Brenham but for anybody interested it 
might be worth to ask him:

Looks very familiar. I had a complete slice of Brenham which I paid over 
$2,500.00 for do the same thing.  Some well-known dealer, which will remain 
nameless for now which was more concerned with easy money coated it with 
lacquer instead of providing a proper polish.  The lacquer was the only 
thing holding together the flexible slice as it made its way to the nearest 
trash can.  Some crystals popped out and bounced around the floor like a 
baby with nasty diapers. What a mess!


I will never buy Breham again no matter what a dealer claims. To me, Brenham 
is a level five ruster!


Happy Collecting,

Adam

Hi List and Happy Thanksgiving coming up to all of you. Anyways, I purchased 
a 6+ gm. slice of the Admire Pallasite in May of 2011 from an eBay seller 
with 100% feedback and of course I am not a fan of meteorites with a 
reputation as a Ruster! The auction by this Seller bragged about how well 
prepared and preserved his Admire specimens he was selling are. Well I 
reluctantly bought a Specimen for a $30 price tag. Well now all of you on 
the list can get a good laugh and view how well preserved this specimen was 
I purchased! I have posted this on my Website so just click the link below. 
If anyone else ran into this problem, contact me off list and we can email 
the Sellers name. I did just email the Seller on this issue and the link 
below to see for himself. Nothing as yet from him, but I just contacted him, 
so I will give it some time.
