Re: [meteorite-list] BLM Resources for Rockhounds

[Adam Hupe via Meteorite-list]

When it comes to public land; The experience has been a dispiriting 
succession of all too frequently broken promises that all too often 
translated into loss of habitat for a vanishing species – the 
recreational Rock Hound and Meteorite Hunter!


For all practical purposes; Meteorite hunting on public land is now an 
extinct avocation here in the U.S. You pick up or sell a single rock, 
you are most likely breaking federal law unless your searches are 
limited to private land.  Online sells of meteorites found on public 
land can be tracked forever and will be used for political purposes, 
especially when it comes to protecting the often abused and twisted 1906 
Antiquities Act.

[meteorite-list] AD: Dropped prices on specimens! (Ad 9/12)

[Bigjohn Shea via Meteorite-list]

Dear Fellow Collectors,

Hope you are all doing great!

Sent this earlier this morning but never saw it pop up on the list. Apologies 
if this is a repeat...

I’m planning an update to my website soon and in an effort to clear some 
inventory I have dropped prices on the majority of the specimens listed there. 
Some of these specimens I’ve had up for a good long while, and if they don’t 
sell before the update I’ll be removing most of them from the website to make 
room for new content. 

https://bigjohnmeteorites.com

At the above link you will find a variety of hard to find NWA specimens, rare 
historic specimens, new slices of rare CO classifications, specimens of new 
falls, etc. There is a little something for nearly every type of collector.

Please take a moment from your relaxing weekend to consider adding some 
interesting specimens to your collection.

Cheers!
John A. Shea, MD

Re: [meteorite-list] AD - New Impact Melt From Niger - $1.50-$3 per gram

Hi Rob
I believe it was classified several years ago. It is arlit pronounced
arleet.

Thanks Mike, I see that the name Arlit is taken so we'll have to see when 
the NomCom comes up with. I strongly doubt that it is the same material.

One of the true gems of the Tucson Gem and Mineral show was this new impact
