For those collectors with an interest in North American meteorites, 
I would like to bring your attention to an eBay offering (ending soon) of a classified find from the California Mojave Desert: 
San Bernardino Wash (L5)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221353605398 


This under-appreciated meteorite promises to become better-known now that 
additional field-work and research results are starting to appear on the Internet:

Although the study of this area is too early to determine the possible TKW of this meteorite, 
it certainly will not rival Gold Basin (L4/6), but it promises to be the next "Trilby Wash". 
The specimens that I am offering are the remaining slices from the samples used to determine pairing. 
These two classifications confirmed their pairing to the SBW(L5) type-specimen held at UCLA. 
I will only be offering additional specimens for auction until the cost of this lab-work has been defrayed. 
But, as usual, I will continue to accept requests for samples by any interested researchers. 

Thank you for your interest,
Bob V.
