Re: [meteorite-list] 'The Art of Collecting Meteorites" - hard copy available

[CRAIG MOODY via Meteorite-list]

I can attest to this. Bought one way back when, and found it very helpful as a 
new collector, and will help the seasoned veteran collector too. Worth every 
penny. Thanks Kevin.

[meteorite-list] AD

[CRAIG MOODY via Meteorite-list]

Hello List Members. I am selling a rather large etched slice of Silicated Campo 
del Cielo. It weighs in at 1,940g; Polished and beautifully etched on both 
sides. It comes with it's own custom display case and easel if you want to 
display it standing up. Make me an offer here if you like, and it would save 
ebay's ridiculous fees.

Thanks for looking!

Re: [meteorite-list] acid for pallasite

[CRAIG MOODY via Meteorite-list]

The very thought of it makes me cringe. The chances of getting crystals worthy 
of gem-stones, is slim. IMHO it would be sacrilege to destroy one of the most 
beautiful meteorite types, for a few gems and a little cash.

[meteorite-list] AD Restoration and etching service

[CRAIG MOODY via Meteorite-list]

Hello fellow list members. Over the past few years, I have been practicing my 
iron meteorite slice restoration and etching procedure, and have become quite 
proficient at it. I am wondering if such a service would be useful to this 
community. Pricing would reflect the amount of restoration required. Heavily 
corroded, and pitted specimens require a lot more work, than one that has a 
little rust on it, or just needs re-polishing and etching. Thus, it would 
depend on each specimen. Prices starting as low as $30, plus return shipping, 
and discounts for multiple specimens. 



Here are some samples of work done for others, and myself.


Let me know if I can be of service.
