[meteorite-list] Baygorria/Campo in Tucson 2005

2013-03-03 Thread Chauncey Walden
When I bought from them in 2005 I knew it was Campo. They had such a 
huge selection and with prices less than $35 a kilo it was hard to pass 
up. I found a piece shaped just like a sea otter balancing a shell on 
its chest and picked up a couple of small pieces for their silicate 
contents. It was like a candy store. The Baygorria part was all wink 
wink nudge nudge.

[meteorite-list] Is this from space?

2013-03-03 Thread SatWatch.org
I am by no means an expert at this meteorite stuff... but many of you seem to 
be the best at it.
I found this in a rock garden pile, it looked very different from the rest of 
the rocks.
If someone has the time, could you look at it and let me know if it was 
blackened while coming from space... or something else.

Here is the link to the photos.

Speaking of silicated Campos, I am looking for a nice specimen, and have a 
47.9g endcut of Zag w/ about 30% black crust in trade. It comes with Húpe 
provenance and is displayed in a display box with silica gel for protection. 
This isn't some of the rusted away junk you see these days, this is very fresh 
and displays a nice brecciatted matrix.

If interested, message me off list.

Thanks and have a great weekend everyone.

Re: [meteorite-list] The stones from the desert.

2013-03-03 Thread Pict
Aleksandr,

Has the appearance of an igneous porphyry of some sort. Looks like the
larger light phenocrysts are feldspars (fairly pale colour so possibly
plagioclase?) and possibly the dark flecks are biotite. It appears finely
veined with quartz or calcite so may have undergone some hydrothermal
alteration. I'm pretty much guessing. Igneous petrology is not my strong
point but I'm sure there are others around that might be able to deduce
something more definitive from an image alone.

John

Re: [meteorite-list] The stones from the desert.

2013-03-03 Thread Pict
Put it this way. There is nothing in the texture that I can see that would
say it is definitely not terrestrial. Saying it is possibly
extraterrestrial would take someone with experience to spot something I
don't see. Looks pretty coarse grained and too differentiated (andesite?
sort of composition) to be anything common for a planetary. I'd be
interested to know if any meteoritic analogues to this sort of rock do
exist. Can't make a definite call myself. It is pretty however :-)

John

 Jorge,
 1) I am not selling any material from this fall, nor do I plan to.
 2) So much of the material you're selling in your ebay account is so
 painfully misrepresented that I fear no threat from you.  You're
 either woefully ignorant, or a cheat.  Either way, you have no grounds
 to be threatening anyone who points this out.
 Written proof is worth as much as the person who's writing it, which
 apparently means nothing in your case.

Re: [meteorite-list] ALTERNATIVE dealing with eBay Fraud! JASON, be carefull what you say about my meteorites on the Meteorite List, I am warning you...

2013-03-03 Thread Chris Spratt


Hi all:

I'm must plead somewhat guilty in that I sometimes purchase
small meteorites (usually micro-bits) from certain sellers listing items
on EBay, usually because those particular sellers can supply what I want
at a relatively, for me, good price (despite the increasing shipping 
costs). I'm

also guilty, as, from time to time, again when funds are available, I
purchase small specimens directly from certain dealers who do not list
on EBay, and even  from a couple of dealers who aren't on this list!
For the most part, my experiences have been satisfactory.

I did see an ad on Ebay initially offering pieces of the new Russian fall,
from a source listed as being in Las Vegas, Nevada. As these specimens were
being offered within minutes of the meteorites hitting the ice/snow,  I
reasoned that these specimens were indeed fraudulent! And I offered the
seller my opinion on his items in my very best diplomatic language.

I, for now, will wait until one of the dealers I know has some of this fall
in stock, at a price I can afford, whether from a dealer's listing on EBay,
or from a dealer's web store.

Chris. Spratt
Victoria, BC

bright orange? color the most. But I have seen a more red cover and
one closer to the 1969 yellow? color as well.  So yes they are
produced in several different colors. I always thought the blue ones
were the rarest color but I have actually seen several of them
recently. I also must point out I have seen so few of them over the
years that my opinions are based on a very small population so I could
easily be wrong when I state rarest...most...fewest...etc.
Something I find curious is only the 42 seems to have been produced in
several different colors. I do have one later edition that has a very
light yellow cover but every other book I have seen is the 69 yellow
cover

So it appears that the 1969 edition has the yellow cover and you may
be able to date them according to the colour of the cover. Nice little
booklets :-)

Hi Bernd, Don and list,

Upon checking the three copies i have, the orange and blue coloured
copies are from 1942 and the copyright is just shown as copyright H H
Nininger 1942. The later 1969 yellow edition is marked as Bernd
describes.

Hope that helps.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite market talk on radio

2013-03-03 Thread Count Deiro
Hello Mike, Carl, Jason, Ted and List,

Carl Esparza began hunting the original Cat Mountain location, which is 
practically in his back yard, after I casually mentioned to him that a newbie, 
Mr. Mike Holden, had sent me a 107 gram rock that Mike had found near the 
location of the original Cat Mountain meteorite. Holden had contacted me in 
response to an ad I had placed on Craig's List soliciting possible meteorites. 
I prevailed on the Holden to send me his find. 

I paid to have a 22.5 gram specimen I sliced off classified by Dr. Ted Bunch of 
Space Science Consulting Services.  Before I did that, I posted photos of the 
find on this List and solicited opinions. Listees might remember that my 
friend, Greg Hupe', said it looked slagadosious:0) But, Ted's classification 
came back that the approx. 20 gram slice I had cut from the Holden's find was, 
unarguably, a pairing to the original Cat Mountain held by Haag. I took an 
agreed 23.4 gram slice of Holden's Cat Mountain for my collection, and the 
remaining 62 gram meteorite was returned and quickly purchased by Ruben Garcia. 
Ruben has sold, at my estimate, over $1,500.00 in slices without complaint.

Carl Esparza found, MONTHS LATER, and within a few hundred yards from Holden's 
find, a rock which he sent to me at my request. After examining it, I sliced 
off approximately 22 grams and engaged Dr. Bunch to classify it. It came back 
from Ted as a pairing to both other known Cat Mountain specimens. The 
meteorite, minus the sample sent to Bunch for classification and cutting and 
polishing loss was misplaced, or stolen, after I engaged and paid Fed Ex to 
return it to Carl. I have been, regrettably, accused of stealing it. Not 
withstanding the fact I already had a a nice slice of Cat Mountain.

There is no love lost between Carl and I, but I can't stand by and allow him to 
be labeled an arm chair warrior who has never provided a recovery. That is a 
blatantly false statement and quite easily refuted by the existance of in situ 
and in hand specimen photography, proven time line, shipping records, 
professional written classification and the physical sample on deposit at NAU. 

No matter what else Carl has done that others can find fault with, the 
unimpeachable fact is, that Carl Esparza recovered an oriented, approx. 187 
gram, Cat Mountain meteorite from a known strewn field at his own expense and 
risk...and ultimately his loss.

Regards,

Count Deiro

But, if I were ever jailed I certainly would never brag about it. 
The point of my post was to relinquish the blame of the state of the market

Re: [meteorite-list] sharp protrusion from an iron meteorite

2013-03-03 Thread Jason Utas
Hello Martin, All,

No, no, no, and no.

I do not directly refer to the NWA 7034-paired material on my website
as NWA 7034.  I merely state that it is paired material.  In the case
of 7034, I scrutinized even the smallest fragments and volunteered a
fragment for destructive analysis here at school.  One of the
fragments I received was not the same material as NWA 7034, and it is
set aside.  Admittedly, the sample for work is not 20% of the weight
of the lot of fragments.  But , since I'm not self-assigning an NWA
number, the rules have been followed.

Standard practice would dictate that I donate 20% of the lot of
fragments to science, which would not necessitate cut samples from
every fragment I have.  If I didn't know what I were doing, and
donated a ~2 gram fragment from the ~10 gram lot, most of the smaller
pieces *could* be terrestrial crap, but the meteorite would be
analyzed, approved, and you would (I assume) not be questioning it.

While you may not examine prices carefully, a few weeks ago, the
standard price for NWA 7034 was $20,000-30,000 per gram for pieces
less than a half gram or so.  Only pieces in the gram+ range were as
little as $10,000 per gram.

I started my pricing at $10,000 per gram and went down to $5,000 per
gram for larger pieces.  My prices were a fraction of the advertised
price for these stones, and unless other dealers have dropped their
prices by ~50% or more, my prices are still lower.

So, yes, my specimens are priced at a fraction of what other specimens
are (or were) priced at.  I haven't looked around in the past week or
so, but I assume that's still true.  Since I paid just over five times
as much per gram for this material as I have for any other meteorite
from NWA, I think that's fair.

Why donating 20 grams or 20% of the material would enable me to raise
prices by 50% to 300% is beyond my comprehension, though.

I donated a fragment of the NWA 2975 lot to destructive research at UC
Berkeley; it was mechanically destroyed, and the maskelynite crystals
were removed for several Ar dating runs (which did agree with the
conclusions reached by other dating methods for NWA 2975).

Of course, since those stones could also have come from different
locations, in theory, I would need to cut or break each one to confirm
it, right?  Even the ones that weigh 0.1-0.2 grams.

By and large, I try to be reasonable with such things.  Where do you
draw the line between a large find like Taza or NWA 869 and something
like NWA 2975?  NWA 801?  Each of these meteorites are now examples of
large finds with hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals on the
market.  As such, I thought NWA 2975 would be a fine name to use.
Everyone knows it, the stones are easily recognizable, and there is
already much of it in labs waiting to be studied.

http://curator.jsc.nasa.gov/antmet/mmc/NWA2975.pdf

I accurately describe TKW's to the best of my knowledge and describe
things as fully as I can on my website so that there is no potential
for misinformation.

The vast majority of our stones are individually analyzed.  The only
stones on the website that have not been analyzed -- yet, that I would
be willing to say have an official number on our website -- are NWA
2975.  It's too common and easily recognizable to bother.

Regards,
Jason

 Hi Jason,

 no offense, but only a remark.
 You're always pretty fast, when it's about blaming sellers to be dishonest
 or fraudulent.
 In my personal opinion that doesn't fit directly well together with some
 offerings on your webpage.
 For instance some of the Martians,
 there it is not directly clear for the reader,
 whether the specimens, which you reckon to be paired to black beauty - NWA
 7034 are parts of the original stones, which were numbered or whether they
 will be still classified and will receive an own NWA number or whether they
 were told by a scientist to be paired and remain unnumbered or whether it's
 your personal opinion based on your experience.

 Same to some extent with the obviously unclassified stones, where you use
 the number NWA 2975 (which was one single stone) in the menu side bar.

 In my eyes that is problematical.
 It seems to be a classical self-pairing, which should be a no-go for
 IMCA-members.

 But especially it's somewhat not so fine for the not yet so experienced
 collectors,
 as they often are not aware, that such unclassified stones will have later
 in case they want to swap or trade them once, do have a remarkably lower
 collector's and trade value - thus a lower monetary value than their
 officially recognized and numbered comrades.

 Neither the latter is evident for the naïve beginner, if he reads your
 prices.
 The unclassified ones, which you relate to NWA 7034 cost around 10,000$/g on
 your pages and also the supposed NWA 2975-pairing are not different in price
 than the specimens sold by more professional collectors and dealers, who

Hi all - 

It would seem to me that most of the major dealers have dealt with Russian 
collectors, dealers, and laboratories for years and will get their specimens 
through them. 

The important news is that Putin's decision on professional organizations now 
makes it possible for the Russian collectors and dealers to join the IMCA.

good hunting, everyone

[meteorite-list] preference question on scale cubes and a poll

2013-03-03 Thread rexscates
I am getting a bunch more made and I have a question on the dot (.) after each 
number

1. do people want the dot or not?

basically every custom cube I made the people did not want the dot.
At that time I asked around and people said yes no dot on next batch would be 
nice.
I removed the dot and now people are asking why I don't have the dot and want 
it the old way.


second question and this one might raise controversy if on the B side I made a 
metric hash mark series would people want that or not? before you say yes or no 
also know that I have to put a tiny hole (with the current way of plating 
them)so that hole would be on the side with the hash marks.

for an example of hash marks go to scaleobjects.com

The hash marks detract from the aesthetic simplicity of a scale cube. Besides, 
I think printing hashmarks on a scale cube would necessitate oversizing the 
cube to be able to accommodate all delineations from 0mm to 10mm. Then the 
scalecube would not represent 1cm on each side. This would be confusing and 
harder to interpret. My 2¢

Re: [meteorite-list] preference question on scale cubes and a poll

2013-03-03 Thread Ed Deckert

Hi Rex,

I have no preference on the dot, but I agree with Gary Fujihara about 
leaving the hash marks off.  They do tend to get in the way (IMHO) and Gary 
is right about having an oversized cube to accommodate 10 mm marks.  I would 
prefer to use a small metric ruler in closeup photos to get that type of 
detail.


Regards,
Ed

Subject: [meteorite-list] preference question on scale cubes and a poll


I am getting a bunch more made and I have a question on the dot (.) after 
each number


1. do people want the dot or not?

basically every custom cube I made the people did not want the dot.
At that time I asked around and people said yes no dot on next batch would 
be nice.
I removed the dot and now people are asking why I don't have the dot and 
want it the old way.



second question and this one might raise controversy if on the B side I 
made a metric hash mark series would people want that or not? before you 
say yes or no also know that I have to put a tiny hole (with the current 
way of plating them)so that hole would be on the side with the hash marks.

I am also finalizing my phot cube designs and if anyoen wants any last 
input let me know by email rexsca...@comcast.net
