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

Given that Arlit is already assigned, it is safe to assume a different name 
will be given, time will tell if it looks more like Arlit 002 or NWA _ _ _ _

I thought that the Arlit matietial was listed in the Met Bull as only a 20 
GRAM mass.  Did I read that incorrectly?  Please clarify.

Thanks in advance,  Ben Fisler

Thanks Mike and Rob,

This is very interesting as I also bought many kilos of this material
in Tucson.  The Arlit write up in the met-bul doesn't mention it as an
Impact melt. Is this the same material?

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

[meteorite-list] Ad: Big 1.3kg Unclassified Stone, Primo Cigar Box 2kg Lot, Various Unclassified Meteorites for display, outreach, or resale.

2018-02-27 Thread Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list
Hi Friends and Collectors,

I have an interesting offering this week. As someone who appreciates
fine meteorites and fine cigars, I decided to part with one of the
nicest cigar boxes in my collection. This large wooden box once held
$800 worth of Arturo Fuente Opus X Chateau Fuente Reserve (1992)
cigars. It still has the original ribbon, humidor pack, and inserts.
Instead of cigars, this box now holds 2018 grams (2kg) of unclassified
Saharan meteorites.

These stones were picked from a larger lot and were selected for
quality and aesthetics. Some have nice patinas of wind polished desert
varnish. Some have fusion crust. All of them are uncut. They originate
from an old collection and were recovered from Morocco in the mid to
late 1990's (prior to the NWA rush).

I also have several large unclassified stones that would be ideal for
display, outreach, or cutting/resale. Have a look.  :)

Use coupon code "metlist" at checkout for 20% OFF your entire order.

It’s not the same rock. Just because it’s from the same place.

Hello Marissa, List

She said it All..

I'm in -

I too am Stuck in a wheelchair, of very limited $, can emphasize to Marissa's
frustration.

Financially not an option for me but I suggest a Auction of some meteorites
that this community is willing to put up with 100% of selling price goes to 
Marissa.
I also suggest that the Buyer plan to pay at least 2X what a particular piece 
may
normally sell for. If someone should choose to pay 10x its worth - all the 
better.
A normal selling price X2 should be the reserve quota. Low-ballers do-not apply.
Normal sellig price-yeah right-what the hell does that mean--just plan on the 
most
expensive so you've Ever bought. GOT IT?

Someone else with auction expierence needs to chime in on how 
something like this will work. Also, no item is sent until funds are 
at a bank or certified to Marissa"s Go-Fund account. ???

I'm willing to put up a 2,700gm Uruacu.

Someone needs to set the parameters for this to happen.

All my best Marissa !

Subject: [meteorite-list] Operation Relocation: Marissa's move out west


Hello, List.

Back in 2014 the meteorite community came together and helped make
history and a dream come true by sending Marissa Fanady on a
life-changing meteorite hunting expedition where she became the first
(as far as we can tell) person in a wheelchair to ever find a
meteorite.  It's time to rally the banners again, but this time for a
much larger project.

Marissa is trying to move out west to Tucson, AZ so that she can
pursue a life devoted to meteorites and their study.  She needs our
help again, not only with raising the funds to facilitate this move,
but more importantly in spreading the word about her campaign.  Every
day it seems like some campaign goes viral and raises money for a
cause that appears less than worthwhile - let's get this campaign to
go global and help a most deserving young lady realize her potential.

She made a video describing her situation, goals, and reasons for
wanting to move, it can be viewed here:
https://youtu.be/CwWvadGdI1g

She has a GoFundMe campaign here:
https://www.gofundme.com/arfww-operation-relocation

Please, share the video and fund raising campaign links any way you
can; if you run a website consider putting them on a banner, share
them with local media, forward this email, share the links on
Twitter/Facebook/Instagram, whatever you can do to spread the word
will help.  Of course if you can contribute to the fund raiser that
would help, too, but this time it's going to take more than just our
small community to help her make this happen.

I sincerely thank you for your time and any help you are able to provide.
Michael in so. Cal.
