[meteorite-list] Brisbane Australia gem show tomorrow

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I know that this list has at least a handful members from the brisbane area so 
I would like to invite anybody in the area to a nice gem show tomorrow. There 
wont be a lot of meteorite dealers but I will have a display of hundreds of 
meteorites including a couple museum quality NWAs. Lots of fossils and other 
stuff from 60 or so dealers will be available.Show is on Saturday Aug 12th put 
on by the Caboolture lapidary club. Just put CABOOLTURE HISTORICAL VILLAGE in 
your GPS and it will take you there.
Show is at the Caboolture historical village about a half hour north of 
downtown Brisbane.This is a really nice museum about olden day Australia 
including lots of old engines, cars and trucks and if you go to the gem show 
you have full access to the museum. Really great place to bring kids for a 
family outing. Normally it costs $15 entry to the museum but if you go through 
the gem club entrance you only pay $5 to go to the gem show and the museum 
access is basically free. (They charge around $3 to go on the train ride - 
which gets stopped by train robbers who gives everybody a three dollar bill).If 
you cant come see my meteorites in person feel free to look over my ebay 
auctions (Ebay user id AMUNRE) where I have lots of meteorites at really cheap 
prices.Cheers
Dean

[meteorite-list] Bundaberg Australia Gem and Lapidary Fair

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I know that there is at least 4 list members in the Brisbane area so I will 
make a posting for the club even though most list members are not 
interested.But this weekend is the Bundaberg Gem shows put on by the Bundaberg 
Lapidary club. Its a good show with upwards of 100 or so dealers and probably 
the best show in North Queensland. Its mostly crystals and fossils with a lot 
of local australian crystals. There is not a lot by way of meteorites but 
usually there is 3 or 4 dealers with a couple meteorites. One show earlier this 
year one guy had a gorgous Muirchison the size of your fist (For $25,000) but 
that was rare. I will have lots of NWAs ranging from weathered crap really 
cheap to a stunning museum quality crusted specimen. Will have several hundred 
meteorites mostly pretty cheap.Here is the bundaberg gem clubs facebook website 
with all the details:https://www.facebook.com/Bundaberggemandmineralclub/


For those who cant come you can buy lots of cheap NWAs (And other moroccan 
stuff like fossils and Fulgurites) from my ebay user id 
AMUNREhttps://www.ebay.com.au/sch/amunre/m.html?item=195448076265=nc&_dmd=2
I have over 400 meteorites listed.
If you are in the area email me and let me know you are coming.CheersDean

[meteorite-list] Brisbane australia Gem show announcement

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

Not sure if there are any list members in australia but if you happen to be in 
the brisbane area there is a gem and crystal show on the gold coast this 
saturday and sunday (If it dont get weathered out with the rain) . I will be 
the only person with meteorites as its a general rock show but I will have some 
unclassified NWAs.If any actual meteorite collector wants to show up email me 
for details and I will bring some better unclassified NWAs than I plan to bring 
to the general rock show.The club shows all seem to be going ahead this year 
after the covid madness cancelled most of them the last two years so there 
should be a dozen more little rock shows in this area over the next 6 months.If 
you cant come you can always search my ebay user id AMUNRECheersDean

[meteorite-list] AD: NWA Meteorites on ebay + other stuff from Morocco - Fossils fulgurites artifacts

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I have more than 400 meteorites listed on ebay - mostly unclassified NWAs 
selling very cheap. I do have a small amount of classified meteorites but I 
usually dont bother with classifying anything because of the difficulty in 
getting stuff classified. So you get them cheap.
Also from Morocco I have lots of Paleolithic artifacts and Fulgurites. Also 
fossils including dozens of Trilobites. I searched ebay and my Trilobites seem 
the cheapest on ebay. I also have a lot of Philippine tektites. 3 or 4 years 
ago I bought out a massive collection of Tektites from somebody who lived in 
the philippines for 20 years and it was his lifelong accumulation. I still have 
a few but starting to run low now and these Tektites that I have been selling 
off cheap is probably not something that I will ever be able to replace once I 
run out - especially since there are now restrictions on exporting them.Most 
are on my ebay user id AMUNRE but still a few listed on my other user id 
KANGAROOOPALSOn the higher priced items I might be able to do a better price so 
send me an email if you are interested in the pricier ones.CheersDean

[meteorite-list] Meteorite picture

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

Several months ago I sent this to the met list asking what people thought it 
was. I had a couple dozen guesses so I thought that I would let everybody know 
what it is. I had some strange guesses but most people (including myself) 
thought that it was an enstatite - especially given the strong magnetism.I 
finally got it classified and much to my surprise (And disappointment) it is a 
(Very metal rich) H chondrite.It is now officially NWA14240If somebody is 
interested in buying some I just listed 18 specimens of it in ebay. Just do a 
ebay search on NWA14240 or search one of my ebay user id's AMUNREAustralia has 
the worlds highest postage costs and if you only buy one lot postage is a bit 
high so look over my hundreds of other ebay NWA lots and if you buy multiple 
lots postage is not such a huge amountCheersDeanAMUNRE and KANGAROOOPALS on ebay


See two photos. Anybody have any guesses as to what it is or recognise it as 
paired with something? Very strongly magnetic - closer to an iron than a H 
chondriteCheersdean

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I know that there are list members from Brisbane but not sure if there are any 
from Sydney but if there are there is a nice rock and gem show in Gosford 
showgrounds this weekend. Probably the best one of the year for sydney. There 
will be probably 3 or 4 people selling meteorites but not a lot as its a 
general rock show with lots of various rocks and crystals but should be a nice 
outing. Fossils will be very well represented. Would be great to meet any 
aussie list members this saturday and sunday if anybody is around.The show is 
at Gosford showgrounds about 45 minutes north of the city 
center.CheersDeanAMUNRE on ebay__

[meteorite-list] AD: PHILIPPINE TEKTITES ON EBAY - As mush as 310 Grams

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I have just listed 80 philippine tektites on ebay.See 
here:http://www.ebaystores.com/The-AmunRe-Museum/_i.html?_nkw=tektite=Search&_sid=1598024

My prices are lower than anybody else on ebay or any website that I could 
find.These have gotten rarer and you now need a permit to take them out of the 
philipines. (Mine have all been exported several years ago before the 
restrictions came into effect). Its not hard to get a permit but a bigger 
reason that these will get rarer is because they have gotten harder to find. 
Farmers are not finding them on the top of their fields anymore. A few years 
ago the chinatown bric a brac sellers had bucket fulls of these. Now its very 
hard to find any.I would expect prices to go up over the next couple of years 
as they get rarer.See my ebay user id AMUNRESincerelyDeanPS: While you are at 
it look over my cheaper grade and large NWAs that I have a couple hundred of 
listed. Nobody beats my price on those either__

[meteorite-list] Bisbane Australia Gem Show

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I am not sure how many (If any) list members are in Australia but one of 
Australia's better gem and mineral shows takes place this weekend in North 
Brisbane. Known as the Redcliffe gem and lapidary show there are around a 
hundred dealers with stalls selling all sorts of rocks - many are fossikers who 
are selling items that they found themselves. There are lots of Opals in 
particular (As you would expect from an Australian rock show)But  quite a wide 
variety of Australian minerals will be on display and for sale.
Redcliffe Gem & Mineral, Jewellery & Craft Show
When   5 & 6
Where  Southern Cross Catholic College, Kippa Ring
Times   Sat 9 am – 4pm

Its about a 45 minute drive from downtown Brisbane. Turn off at the signs that 
say Redcliff (Same exit as IKEA - you cant miss the IKEA sign on the highway)
There will not be a huge amount of meteorites for sale (And probably none from 
Australia) but there should be 4 or 5 dealers with a small amount of 
meteorites. At a show two months ago one dealer had the nicest 300 gram 
Millbillillie I have ever seen but that was unusual to find something like that 
at an Australian gem show. I will be there and will have a small assortment of 
NWAs that you can look over.
If anybody does come it would be nice to see list members from Australia. I am 
the very first stall that you see as you enter the building (Behind the lady 
who will take your several dollar entry fee)
Hope to see somebody. Will post some photos to the list if anybody shows up.
cheersDeanPS: For those unable to come see my ebay auctions for hundreds of 
NWAs really cheapI am AMUNRE on Ebay

If you are looking for a huge meteorite cheap see my ebay auctions. Do a search

work:http://stores.ebay.com/The-AmunRe-Museum/_i.html?_nkw=meteorite=Search&_sid=1598024Some
 are pretty ratty (But CHEAP) and some nice ones to - and for the most part a 
lot cheaper than anybody else. I currently have a 15% "Black Friday" sale on

468 mostly unclassified NWAs listed on ebay. Was hoping to get over 500

(Actually I have a 5% sale running so even cheaper than that - lowest ever

[meteorite-list] Meteor streaking across the sky in Australia this morning

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

Headline story here in Queensland Australia this morning is people reporting 
earthquakes and fireballs over a several hundred mile area (Including one 
report of balls of fire reining down from the sky so the media has gone just a 
wee bit overboard on this story)
Here is a story from one of the more reliable news sources in case somebody is 
interested in reading it.

http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/space/queenslanders-report-bright-lights-in-sky-followed-by-tremor/news-story/cbecd848efd14c1b48535cb5b35eef7f

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

Well Joachim yes one would normally use common sense and agree with you.
When I stopped sending to Italy 7 or 8 or so years ago I kept track and had 7 
of the previous 10 packages to Italy lost in the mail and had to deal with a 
paypal chargeback (And some negative feedbacks on ebay). I figured that 7 of 
ten cancelled out the benefit of lost sales so I stopped shipping to Italy.
I never sent another package to Italy until about two years ago when this 
Davide Urbinati person emailed me wondering why I don't send to Italy and that 
it as safe to send him stuff. I agreed to the sale and sent him the $300 worth 
of Bensour via Registered mail with a tracking number.
At the same time I thought "This is silly - blocking all those potential 
Italian customers from bidding because of a few losses in the mail 5 or 10 
years ago. So I unblocked all of Italy and let Italians buy from me again. Over 
the next several months (Plus Davide Urbinati's theft of my Bensour) three of 
the four packages that I sent to Italy resulted in a paypal chargeback. And not 
one of them sent me an email before filing the chargeback with paypal. Like 
shopping mall owners having to deal with shoplifting you generally just write 
it off as paypal always refunds the money so I again just blocked Italy from my 
auctions.
Normally I get maybe 3 or 4 chargebacks a year and I sell thousands of items a 
year on ebay. So even now I no longer accept bids from people in Italy. 
This theft of the $300 worth of Bensour is memorable and a bit of a sore point 
with me because its the largest ever loss through a paypal chargeback that I 
have ever had and it was after I made a decision to never send stuff to Italy 
again. I almost blame Davide Urbinati for the following three losses from ebay 
sales not related to him for the following 3 ebay chargebacks to other Italy 
bidders.

So yes your comment that "Italy has more than 60 Million  people. Most are 
honest and kind." should be correct (I really loved Italy the couple times that 
I have been there and so want to go back) but there is a statistically 
significant issue with sending mail to Italy. You will find that its not just 
me but many ebay sellers wont send stuff to Italy so I am not the only ebay 
seller with an unusual amount of problems with mail to Italy. The only thing 
that I can figure is that there must be a bunch of mafia gangs preying on mail 
sellers as I have a very hard time believing that the Italian post office is 
that bad and loses such a huge amount of mail. I don't know why so many mailed 
packages to Italy results in losses but for some reason they do.

But for now I don't generally send mail to Italy.

Sincerely
dean

[meteorite-list] Two Australian Gem and Mineral Shows this month

[dean bessey via Meteorite-list]

I am not sure if there is actually any list members in Australia but if there 
are any on Australian East coast within a couple hour drive there are two 
worthwhile gem shows over the next two weekends.

This weekend is Hervey Bay Saturday and Sunday. The Hervey bay gem club is 
putting off their annual show and this usually goes quite well and activities 
for the kids. This is one of my favorate shows. Whales are in season now as 
they migrate up Australias coast so that would be a great activity to partake 
in along with the gem show.
 
Next weekend (On Saturday)  is the Caboolture gem show which is run by the 
Caboolture gem club. This is also one of Australias better gem shows. This is 
held at Historic Village and a nice benefit to going to this this show is that 
you get free access to Historical Village which is a particularly good museum 
of artifacts from late 1800s Australia up to around WW2 including a 1910 School 
house (Including a reproduction of an outhouse), old cars, communication 
equipment etc. For the kiddies there is a train ride that gets attacked and 
robbed  by 1800s style train robbers.

The two shows are more crystals and minerals and lots of local minerals but 
there is usually 3 or 4 dealers selling a few meteorites. I will have some NWAs 
(If I know you are coming can bring lots of NWAs).

Caboolture is in north Brisbane and Hervey bay is about 4 hours north (An hour 
south of Bundaberg)

Email me if you want more information
Cheers

[dean bessey]

I took advantage of ebays free listing week last week and listed almost 200

quality ranges from really nice crusted pieces to the bottom of the barrel 
leftovers that just needs to be gotten rid of and listed cheap.
Over this week I will be listing more with buy it nows so watch my ebay items 
over the next few days as this is ebay meteorite week for me.

[meteorite-list] AD: Philippine Tektites

[dean bessey]

I am having a terribly difficult time posting for some reason so my apologies 
if you got this more than once.
One of the benefits of being married to somebody from the philippines is that I 
sometimes get into situations where I can get some really nice philippine 
tektites.
I really should get my website going again so has to save on ebay fees but I do 
have a nice selection of philippine tektites now listed on ebay - including 
many over a hundred grams and one big one at 344 grams.
See my ebay auctions AMUNRE or click here:

While at it see all my other auctions of meteorites, collectibles jewelry etc

Re: [meteorite-list] TKW OF THE TATA MARTIAN - Predict $100 Martians

[dean bessey]

I am going out on a limb and predict that we are about to see $100 martian. 
Probably less. Dont believe anybody who tells you there are only four kilos.
I could be wrong with that price guess (Especially if some goovernment museum 
decides to buy it all up) but this is currently all held by the moroccans who 
want to sell it and not just sit on it like with some other meteorites that 
remain overpriced because a small number of people are hoarding in (Or 
Investing in it). I think martians are way overpriced as it is even without 
this fall.
This will be very close to being the largest ever Martian meteorite (If not the 
largest). And its all for sale.
I started getting offers a short while ago at over $400 a gram and the 
wholesale price is well under $200 already. As with all meteorites in Morocco 
when you get offers that offer is always The last thats available so you 
better buy now. That has happened to me more often than I can count so I dont 
believe a word that comes out of Morocco anymore.
My advice is to hold off on the current overpriced offerings and wait until 
Tucson (Which I predict will be flooded with the stuff).
I have a leftover Martian from a few years ago (Where there really is very 
little more available) that I have started on ebay at $161 a gram (Or buy it 
now at $241) - See my ebay auction #190621515662). If you think that the new 
fall will create lots of martian interest and drive up the price this is a rare 
opportunity to get some cheap (Cheaper than I paid for it) but me, I think that 
Martians are about to become reasonably priced and am getting out while I can.
Of course if some government agency buys it all up dont blame me if you missed 
out on a really nice martian fall cheap. Goldman Sachs is not always right in 
the price predictions either.
Cheers
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] Thin section not so thin...

[dean bessey]

As a ebay seller of thin sections I thought that I would respond to this. I 
should point out that it wasnt me that David bought his thin section from, I 
dont know who he bought them from, dont know anything about his thin section 
and am in no way commenting on any other seller when I write this.
It should be pointed out that in order to be a Thin Section it does not have 
to be 30 microns. Thin Sections are extensively used by various scientific and 
commercial organizations for various purposes and in particular mining and 
petroleum companies make great use of thin sections.
Depending on what you are trying to do different thickness's might be most 
useful. For meteorite classification purposes it must be 30 microns as the 
light will be different from what it is supposed to be if it is some other 
thickness (All of my own thin sections are 30 microns). There are other 
standard thicknesses and 100 microns I believe is the most common (And possibly 
cheapest to make). 50 and 200 micron thickness thin sections are also standard 
thicknesses (But meteorite people rarely would want one this thickness).
We on this list are most familiar with 30 microns because thats the thickness 
thats needed for meteorite classifications. If you were working as a geologists 
with a petroleum company you might be more familiar with 100 micron thin 
sections.
I suspect that the thin section David bought was made to a different standard 
than for what you usually need for meteorites. It would be odd to be exactly 
another standard thickness if it was just a poor job. (For example if it was 
say 85 microns I would probably say that it was a poor job as probably nobody 
would ever make a thin section that thickness no matter what the planned use 
was)
I would also like to comment on the price of thin sections. You will notice 
that my meteorite thin sections are priced cheaper than most other sellers 
(Started on ebay as low as $29.95). When I left Canada 7 years ago I left a 
container of stuff in storage which I only got earlier this year. Since it was 
all paid for more than half a decade ago I am selling off a lot of it with no 
regard to my cost or replacement value. My thin sections fall in this catagory. 
I cant replace thin sections and make money at $29.95.
I will not get into a slugging match by saying mine are better than other 
people and you should pay more for mine because of that but if you do see thin 
sections cheaper than what I currently have listed I would be suspicion and ask 
questions before I buy. Its possible that somebody in a country where labour is 
cheaper can make them cheaper than me (Although I would love to know if anybody 
does find a place)
Questions that you should ask are:
(1) Thickness. Are they 30 micrions, 100 micron or some other thickness (I am 
assuming that the seller would know this)
(2) Are they Polished? Unpolished thin setions can easily be made for under 
$20. It costs as much to polish them as it does to cut them. Both have their 
uses but polished ones are twice as expensive (And needed if you want to get 
the meteorite classified).
(3) Do they have a cover slip? If you will carbon coat them and put them in a 
microprobe (Needed if you buy one of my Thin scetion kits on ebay and send it 
for classification) you DO NOT want a cover slip. If you are just using them 
with a standard microscope and showing them in schools you might want the cover 
slip so it wont get scratched.
Hope this helps somebody
Sincerely
DEAN (AMUNRE on ebay)

 Hello list,
 
 A few weeks ago I bought a NWA869 thin section from an eBay
 seller.
 
 The seller is not Mirko Graul (excellent thin section
 seller, excellent person, my favorite  thin section
 provider) nor any known thin section seller of this list, OK
 ?
 
 
 When received it looked darker than usual and after
 measuring thickness it was 100 micrometers instead of 30.
 I just contacted the seller to prevent it from selling more
 thin sections like this and having problems with costumers,
 but in a educational and collaborative way, as I think he
 was new in thin sections and did not know about the
 problem.
 The thin section was really cheap, so I keep it, no
 problem.
 
 Ok, well, my help claim is because I want to grind that
 thin section to 30 micrometers and I think the best way is
 to do it the same way as I did when I grind my telescope
 mirror, using a second glass as a grinding tool.
 Any suggestions?
 Do I use carborundum 2000 or Aluminium Oxide?
 
 Thank you.

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 001 question

[dean bessey]

NWA001 is a single stone just over a kilo. It was part of a very will mixed 
group of meteorites that was sold by retired meteorite dealer Michael casper. I 
cut NWA001 all up mostly into slices (Except for a 160 gram endpiece which I 
believe that Adam Hupe ended up with that was once the main mass but I believe 
that he cut it up and sold on ebay in pieces).
I guess theoritically some parts of that end piece could look something like a 
half stone if it is flat enough but to call it a half stone seems to be 
stretching it. Maybe send me a photo and I can say if such a shape is possible 
to be from the original stone..
But otherwise there is no such thing as a half stone of NWA001. I still have a 
third of it somewhere so the total amount in collectors hands is well under a 
kilo. The biggest piece possibly remaining is the 160 something odd gram (I 
cant remember exactly the size) piece that Adam once had (Or possibly still 
has) and very little of it wasnt cut into slices (And from there mostly into 
smaller ebay size pieces).

My father is visiting me from Canada for a couple months and all his life has 
wanted to visit Tasmania so I have to bring him. By sheer coincidence there 
were two annual rock and mineral shows going on while we were going to be 
there. So I decided to get stalls at both shows.
I am not sure how many people who could go to this but I know that there are at 
least several list members from Tasmania and a few meteorite collectors on the 
shipwreck island but I would like to announce two Rock shows that I will be 
attending in the next few weeks. I will have  mostly gemstones and crystals but 
will have a few meteorites so drop by if you will attend. Its a perfect time of 
year to visit beautiful Tasmania.
Rock shows are:
--
Sat 19 March - Sun 20 March 2011 - Hobart Tasmania
The Hobart Gem and Mineral Spectacular 2011 - Tasmania’s  Hidden  Treasures - 
presented by The Lapidary Club of Tasmania Inc, supported by The Mineralogical 
Society of Tasmania,
Grandstand Hall, Hobart Showgrounds, Glenorchy, Tasmania
---
And the next weekend
Sat 26 March - Sun 27 March 2011 - Latrobe, northern Tasmania
'The Latrobe Gem and Mineral Fair',  organised by the Devonport Lapidary Club, 
at the Latrobe Memorial Hall, Gilbert Street, Latrobe, Tasmania

[meteorite-list] Brisbane Floods

[dean bessey]

I have spent much of today and yesterday responding to emails from well wishers 
asking if I am OK in the floods so I will give my own first hand account twenty 
miles or so from ground zero. 
I am happy to report that we are all fine and not a part of what your front 
page news is currently showing but we had a much to close for comfort close 
call.
Its been raining for weeks and 3 weeks or so ago the news was 5 or 6 hours 
north and inland where the news showed people being rescued from rooftops by 
helicopter but other than the news and lots of rain we werent really affected. 
About two weeks ago here the rain picked up - a lot. Torrential rain kept 
coming but other than no access to outdoor activities we werent really 
affected. I pretty much have lived on ebay recently anyway. The roads have been 
closed regularly up north and sunday the road a few miles north of me was 
closed. Everywhere north of me was cut off except by helicopter.
Monday, in Toowoomba, a town a hundred miles inland from Brisbane is when the 
international news started showing you pictures of brisbane. A meters high wall 
of water and mud out of nowhere suddendly leveled Toowoomba's business district 
and left carnage in its wake. Towns downstream were devestated and thats when 
you got all that video footage of cars being swept everywhere and helicopters 
rescueing people. I started regularly hearing helicopters flying low as they 
search for people needing rescue. A local news channel made a video of a family 
on the top of a white van flowing down a raging river hundreds of meters wide. 
That video probably was the biggest most graphic image of the floods and the 
premiers office and news stations were all inundated with calls wondering how 
they were. Yesterday the premier reported at a news conference that the mom and 
9 year old boy was rescued but when the helicopter returned for dad he was gone 
and is now listed as
 missing. If he ever turns up in one piece it will be the biggest rescue story 
of the floods and he will get rich being interviewed by oprah and similar 
people but it probably wont happen.
This is all nearby to me and in places that I am very familiar with but in 
reality its all just news to me. 
Sunday night my chickens house got flooded and I moved them to a small unused 
shed for a temporary accomodation.
Tuesday morning my wife comes is saying that we have a pond in the back yard. 
Water has made it to the new chicken home and I piled up some pallets  for them 
to live on. All eight of my usually very pampered chickens spends a couple of 
sad, soggy and miserable days with no roosts camped out on the top of a stack 
of pallets. They are not happy chickens.
There is a little creek that overflowed its banks a short distance from me and 
water is slowly coming up to a storage shed and in the extremily vicious 
thunder storm convinces us to pile things up in case it gets flooded. I still 
have hundreds of boxes unopened from the move from New Zealand last year so we 
decide to put the fragile and valuable stuff on top of the less valuable boxes 
and as we are done we get a standardized government text saying that there are 
flash floods near us and that we are advised to report to an evacuation centre 
nearby. A couple minutes later we lose both phone and internet (Our cell phone 
company apparantly had a building full of equipment flood and I never did find 
out why we lost internet).
Then, just before noon some lady from the preschool where my two kiddies are at 
knocks on the door saying they have been trying to call me and that I have to 
go pick up the kids quick as the police had ordered the schools 
closed and any kids not picked up would be taken to an evacuation centre 
because they were not going to let the kids be there by one occlock which was 
high tide and they were worried about what would happen during high tide.
Back home the water slowly comes up my yard. Like the tide. Not a bit of wind 
and almost calm except for the buckets of water raining down. Water is getting 
very close to flooding us. My eight chickens are huddled together on top of the 
pallet all wet and miserable and the water is within inches of flooding us to. 
Its getting close to the 1PM high tide and we wonder if the water will keep 
coming after high tide. We are a good ten miles from the sea. I am 4 inches 
from getting flooded but luckily that 4 inches of concrete saved me. Just two 
streets down from me the streets just a bit lower and closer to the (Now not so 
little) creek have the police going down the street in boats looking for people 
who need help or evacuation.
The water goes down pretty fast after high tide and while still soggy by 3PM 
there is no longer a pond in my yard. The rain also stops for a while and over 
the next hour we hear low flying helicopters a few times. 
4:30 I go into town (only a mile away) for pizza (Tuesday is cheap pizza day). 
Some roads are blocked and others are 4WD roads only. 

[meteorite-list] AD: Christmas Ebay Sale - Plus Minerals

[dean bessey]

After taking a month off to vacation in the Philippines and Singapore I finally 
have my ebay auctions up and running again. 
I have over a hundred NWA meteorites and for the mineral collector lots of 
minerals now listed on ebay.
Over the next few days I should have at least a hundred more NWas listed so 
keep looking at my auctions for the newest deals.
I have made all of my buy it nows changed to a 12% Discount for the 12 days of 
chrismas so grab some deals now.
On another note is anybody interested in a large quantity of Lapiz Lazuli (from 
afghanistan) chips - 3 to 20 grams each?. Really cheap (Only $5 a kilo) but 
shipping is a lot unless you buy 500 or a 1000 kilos.
Some large tumbled pieces available also. Prices when I actually get it but 
around $50 a kilo.
I also have hundreds of kilos of hessonite, aventurine and Rose quartz at 
unbelievanly cheap prices.
Those minerals just cleared customs a few minutes ago and I will have them 
monday or tuesday.

Re: [meteorite-list] You Naysaying Denialists Are All Wrong, Dowsing Works!

[dean bessey]

OK, here is what needs to be done. 
(1) Get 10 non see through buckets that wont even show shadows.
(2) Get ten items. A couple meteorites, toys, other crystals etc
(3) Make sure that the person with the dowsing rod knows exactly what all the 
items are like so that he/she can properly view them and therefore possibly get 
vibes from the items.
(4) make dowser leave the house for a while
(5) Accomplice will then spread the ten buckets throughout the yard hiding one 
of the ten items under each bucket.
(6) Dowser returns home and looks at all buckets but not knowing what is under 
what bucket.
(7) Accomplice has video camera ready
(8) Dowser then does his thing over the buckets trying to identify where the 
meteorites and other stuff is located
(8a) While #8 is in progress accomplice is video taping the entire thing. It is 
important that the video is under ten minutes long and less than 100 megs in 
size
(9) Upload video to Youtube so that we can all see the results (Size and length 
of video noted in #8a is important because of youtube limitations.
(10) we can then all comment/criticize/ make judgments on video test.


It should be noted that in 1902 some German scientists wrote a paper that some 
non distinct rocks lying haphazardly around could be turned into energy that 
could power houses (And later submarines and spaceships). After paper was 
written scientists extensively laughed at and ridiculed. Turning rocks to 
energy they said. Sounds a lot like turning lead into gold.
If said scientists was alive today he would marvel at walking through one of 
hundreds of power plants that supply much of the worlds electricity that was 
powered by his special rocks (Uranium).

[meteorite-list] AD: NWA sale, ebay discounts and one cent sale

[dean bessey]

In about a weeks time I will be shutting all my ebay auctions down for a month 
of traveling and am trying to raise some last minute cash.
I have this sale site put together:
http://www.meteoriteshop.com/rocksale/rocksale.html
All the unsold stuff will go on ebay at about a 20% premium to this when I 
return but its now cheaply priced as I dont have ebay fees or have to deal with 
their other bizarre issues. For example on ebay Bassikonou is all $3 to $4 a 
gram but I have it priced on my website at only $2. Lots of non meteorite 
offerings for the general rock collector on that page also.
Note that site is not going to be very friendly to dial-up users as there are a 
lot of pictures.
Also, I would rather sell the ebay items than shut them down so I have a 10% 
discount now on all my ebay Buy it nows. See my user id AMUNRE for some great 
deals.
Lastly, I have a couple dozen ebay auctions started at a penny and many are 
still there so see my auctions for some possible great deals.

Dean

[meteorite-list] Australian Rock Show Announcement

[dean bessey]

Not sure how many list members live in Eastern Australia but if you do you 
might want to come up to Bribie Island just north of Brisbane for the Bribie 
Island Gem and Fossiking clubs annual rock and gem show.
They have a big show and a lot of dealers and its one of the major rock shows 
in the australian rock show circuit. 
For those not familiar with bribie Island it is a large island about an hours 
drive north of Brisbane which has become a major retirement and lifestyle area 
with a endless array of artificial waterways where a few thousand half million 
dollar houses have a private pier where you can park your yacht in your back 
yard and where there is an awesome of road 4WD track. Its a really nice place.
I will probably be the only person with meteorites but there will be lots of 
rocks and crystals. Mostly I will be selling loose gemstones. I will be outside 
with the tailgaters as I need more space than inside and we will be camping 
onsite. My kiddies are already excited about roasting marshmellows which we do 
every time we go camping. If coming bringing beer would be appropriate.
Cheers
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] ASU suspends public meteorite identification program

[dean bessey]

As somebody who started a fee based classification service with Ray at Bathurst 
Observatory I can shed a little light on what it would actually take to get 
quick classifications done.
Most (Many anyway) list members know that I started a classification service 
several years ago with Ray. Its not shut down so technically I am still running 
it but we are no longer taking new classifications. 
The delay is getting microprobe results. We were promised a 8 week turnaround 
when we started with the microprobe results and in return we would work with 
the university to build up a meteorite collection.
We had a couple committed scientists on board who genuinely love meteorites and 
the plan was to work together.
Two things went against us. Budget cutbacks was the main one. But also the 
mining industry started needing more microprobe analysis of their own. Unlike 
meteorite people on a budget the mining industry is paying millions of dollars 
a day for mining equipment. Australia has avoided the worldwide recession and 
its all on the back of the mining industry. A few extra thousand dollars for 
quick microprobe results is a lot less to the mining company than paying for 
idle equipment sitting around waiting for microprobe results.
The mining companies are paying around $350-$400 for their microprobe results 
(And then they have their own analysis people adding more to their cost).
How does this affect my classification service? Well, since we are not paying 
$400 a day we keep getting our results bumped to the back of the line until 
microprobe time is available. A crash in mineral prices and a worldwide 
recession might free up microprobe time for us.
Becides the microprobe results you need somebody capable of reading the results 
to make a classification (In my case thats my partner Ray).
He obviously wants to be paid for that half hour or an hour part of the work, I 
want some profit to and there is other minor costs like postage costs, bank 
(Paypal in particular with meetorite classifications) fees, computer equipment, 
cost of making a thin section etc. 
So to sum things up for around $500 to $600 each (I havent bothered working on 
exact costs as nobody will pay that anyway) I have the ability to start a 
meteorite classification service and have a very fast several week turnaround 
time.
Somebody with access to equipment in Europe or the USA where the mining 
industry is not hogging all of the equipment may or may not be able to beat 
this. I dont know but I doubt it would be a lot less unless it is with help 
from some scientist who is undercharging for work because of an interest in 
meteorites. 
Scientists doing classifications for free obviously get a type specimen and 
recognition that comes with classifying a new witnessed fall and this has value 
in itself reducing the cost below $500.
But its because most meteorite people (Myself included) wont pay $600 to get a 
quick classification that we have to wait years to get classification results 
on NWAs. For me this is very frustrating and for the most part I dont even 
bother trying to classify stuff anymore. Nobody is really to blame. This is 
just what it costs to get stuff done and the meteorite world dont live in a 
vacuum and quarter million dollar microprobe machines are used for lots of 
things other than classifying meteorites (And at $400 a pop and with government 
funding cutbacks a lot of them is increasingly being used to do work for mining 
companies). We are lucky that there are scientists who love meteorites enough 
to get classification results anyway. And its not a one way street as they get 
benefit to.  But a for profit meteorite classification service that just runs 
strictly on its own economics is not a viable business plan (Not until enough 
people are willing to pay $600 each
 to make it worthwhile).
Somebody should lobby government and try to secure a couple million dollar 
grant to study meteorites. You can bet there would be plenty of qualified 
scientists willing to work full time on meteorite studies. It would certainly 
increase meteorite knowledge with all of the NWAs floating around. You could 
make a serious arguement that it would help more than all the millions spent on 
the Antarctic meteorite program (Although of course everybody wont agree on 
that and in reality there should be a plan for both places) but you would get a 
lot more material to work with in NWA.
But NWAs are running out now and the opportunity to set this up has mostly been 
lost now anyway.
In the meantime I am waiting for microprobe slots to get the results of the 
classifications my own classification service has submitted thats been running 
over two years now (But I am promised that it will get done soon).
Sincerely
DEAN

[meteorite-list] Rock Show Announcement

[dean bessey]

For those of you in Eastern Australia (And especially for those going to the 
huge Emerald show in two weeks - I would like to let you know that I will be at 
Cooloola Rockfest this weekend 6th, 7th and 8th.
It is just south of Gympie and about two hours drive north of Brisbane.
Here is some photos from last years show:
http://www.coolrocks.com.au/rockfest.htm
I am not sure what, if any, meteorites that I will be bringing but if there 
will be meteorite people there let me know.
Should be a good time and would be great to meet some of my many Australian 
customers. Maybe we can do in a guinness or two (Or three).
For those non australian list members the winter in australia is an exciting 
time for rockhounds. For around three months you can drive around and go to a 
different rock show almost every weekend if you wanted to. Weather is not to 
hot, its the dry season, the snakes are all hibernating, and rockhounds all 
congregate.
This cooloola show is one of the better shows on the rock curcuit.
I wont be going to Emerald the following weekend for the grand show but if you 
do be sure to go looking for sapphires. They are really easy to find and even 
my four year old found several dozen sapphires in a couple hours of searching.
Should be a grand time and hope that I can see at least a few list members at 
cooloola this weekend
Cheers
DEAN

In two hours time I have a dozen or so NWAs ending that last week I originally

Hopefully they will get bid up higher but you never know.
I have 209 meteorites now on ebay and many have a 11% discount for the next few 
days so look over all my meteorites for great unclassified NWA deals.

 Has anybody used this for taking pics of micros and larger

 I have a 1.3 megapixel version, with only 4 LED lights

Re: [meteorite-list] USB 2.0 mp Digital Camera

[dean bessey]

Last week I got a 
Veho VMS-004 Deluxe 400x USB Powered Microscope 1.3MP
Which I bought of ebay for $43
Here is some photos I took.
http://www.meteoriteshop.com/photos/microphotos.html
You will notice on the meteorite photo that the image is blurry around the 
edges.
The segments in my ruler is 1/2mm so as you can imagine the stuff is pretty 
small. I never knew there was anything between the fossil stingray teeth for 
example.
I am getting (Just barely) passable gemstone photos for ebay auctions but the 
field of view is so small that it will only work up to about a 4 or 5 carat 
stone. There is some fiddling that I am doing though and will probably figure 
things out as I use it more.
It does have an adjustable light strength which is good (I can even turn the 
light completely off). This is a nifty feature that many (Especially the ones 
sold at coin fairs) dont seem to have.
I probably should have got a more expensive one but even at $43 it is better 
than several others that I have used that cost over $100 so this thing is good 
value compared to some others anyway.
There dont seem to be a on/off switch and you have to pull it out of the ubs 
port to turn it off.
Cheers
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] ATTENTION: Scientists and Researchers Who Classify Meteorites.. Urgent

[dean bessey]

This is a serious reason why people dont bother with getting all data possible 
with meteorites. It would be great if some lesser standard would be accepted as 
a classification (Especially on common chondrites). Many people (Myself 
included) dont even bother with such issues anymore. I cant even get 
achondrites done within a year.
I tried to start a classification service about 4 years ago after being 
promised a eight week turnaround by a couple places in australia but that 
unfortunately never worked out and we are no longer accepting new submission 
(Although the ones currently outstanding we have been promised Within two 
months for three years now.
However, in a big cosmic coincidence, four years ago, when I announced the 
grand opening of my meteorite  classification service Marvin Killgore on the 
very same day announced to this list that he to would within a very short time 
also have a for fee classification service that he would be doing himself as he 
was in conjunction with some institution and has the expertise and access to 
all of the equipment to do so.
I would assume that since more than a few weeks have passed in the last four 
years since he announced the imminent opening of his fee based classification 
service that it is now up and running so I assume that the man to contact for 
classifications nowadays is Marvin Killgore. I dont have his email address but 
somebody should be able to find it easily I am sure.
Sincerely
DEAN

 Hello,
 
 I am in need of a serious person or institution to classify
 meteorites.  I believe the time has come for a fee
 based classification service to be offered. The revenue
 gleaned from such activity could provide income to
 work-study students, provide scholarships for students who
 are studying the meteoritic sciences and most certainly the
 fee could help offset the expense of such classifications in
 the first place.
 
 The problem I have in recovering meteorites from the field
 is that after I give a farmer $10,000 dollars for their
 meteorite, I usually have to wait up to 2 years for the
 classification results. This is not much of an incentive to
 invest in many new discoveries. In fact, I have 4 new
 possible recoveries that I could purchase, but not having a
 timely classification service makes for difficult
 choices.  I usually just say to myself-I can't afford
 to have 5k into this meteorite for 2 years with no return.
 Does not make good business sense and overall not really
 good for science either. 
 
 I propose a $250.00 to $500.00 per meteorite classification
 fee.  Checks made out to whatever scholarship or
 department fund you see fit.  Done in a timely manner
 of 3 months or less. Anyone out there interested, please
 respond to me off list. 
 
 Thanks and Best Wishes
 
 Michael Cottingham

Re: [meteorite-list] Tsunami alert (Report)

[dean bessey]

Well, hundreds of people here in Auckland camped out on a hill waiting for the 
tsunami. A dozen or so people refused to heed the warning and graciously stayed 
on the beach so that we could all have good video. A cruise ship was moved from 
the pier and anchored off in the harbour and all ferries in the city was 
canceled. Hundreds of yachts was out in what is a stunning beautiful summer day 
today.
Unfortunately the tsunami was a bust and nobody on the beach got nominated for 
a darwin award. 
We got 2 or 3 minutes of heavy waves in an otherwise beautiful calm day with 
the water like glass.
See here the photo of the extent of the tsunami in Auckland. The calm was 
broken for a couple minutes and the waves never even went up the beach.
http://www.meteoriteshop.com/pictures/tsunami.jpg
We did however have a really nice picnic in the park with my two kiddies. You 
can see the tsunami in the background in this photo behind my two kiddies who 
are sitting on a WW2 gun.

[meteorite-list] Museums Keeping meteorites dry

[dean bessey]

I am advising an institution here in New Zealand who is planning to put 
together a world class meteorite collection for public display. They already 
have a dozen or so meteorites on display (Mostly donated by dealers like Haag 
who has a thank you next to the specimens already there) but they are going 
to put together what will surely be New Zealands greatest meteorite collection 
when complete.
The question is what should they be displayed in and what type of climate 
control is necessary.
New Zealand dont get overly hot or cold so temperature will not be an issue but 
Kiwis go to London for a nice dry vacation where it doesnt rain all that much. 
It seems to rain all the time here and humidity is often very high.
I have some ideas but please let me know what you think would be best and what 
meteorite types in particular need special climate control.
They are putting the display together before acquiring the specimens so want to 
get it right from the start.
Any advice or ideas that would help keep this public meteorite display from 
crumbling in the high humidity would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] Lunar for $200/g

[dean bessey]

I am not going to make any comment on wither it is genuine or not but for 
purposes of this email I will assume that it is genuine. Assuming its genuine 
$50 for shipping (Fed Ex?) dont sound excessive. I couldent ship anything from 
here fed ex for $50 for example.
Note also that seller doesnt appear to be very ebay savvy and probably could 
use a tutorial on using ebay.
He has the whole 256 gram meteorite started at $200 but from his description it 
is obvious that he wants $200 a gram (Actually a starting price of over 
$50,000) but he has actually started the auction at $200 for the whole thing 
(Ebay rules wont let you list it the way he wants to).
Somebody (Aziz in morocco maybe) might want to help the poor guy out and 
explain to him how to list things the way that he wants to on ebay.
Cheers
DEAN
PS:
Of course A little more detailed description explaining why he thinks that it 
is actually a Lunar might be a little helpful to but I wont get into that

[meteorite-list] Classic Ebay Letter

[dean bessey]

This dont pertain strictly to meteorites except that ebay has become the worlds 
best source of supply but last July ebay suspended me for a week because of 
something with my pearl auctions. They wouldent tell me what and a phone 
conversation with the worlds rudest person told me that it would be a security 
violation to tell me what was wrong with my auctions (Said if they told me what 
was wrong I could do things to get around the rules and list again). Usually 
they refused to even respond to emails asking what the problem was.
Well, they finally answered one of my emails asking what was wrong with my 
auctions. I still have no idea what was wrong with my auctions but at least 
they answered my emails.
Now I have to do some guesswork so that I can list pearls again. Not sure what 
counterfeit and replica items have to do with my pearl auctions.
Just goes to show. You cant depend on running strictly an ebay business 
Cheers

Dear Dean,

Thank you for writing eBay in regards to your items that were removed in
July.

Your listings were removed because it contained indicators that are
commonly associated with fraudulent listings.

Due to security concerns, I'm unable to share with you the specific
criteria that we used to make this decision. We keep this information
confidential, to prevent potential misuse.

Please understand that it's against eBay policy and illegal to sell
counterfeit or unauthorized items. This policy protects intellectual
property and protects buyers from purchasing counterfeit or fraudulent
items.

eBay can remove a listing if we believe that the sale of the item might
create liability for the buyer, the seller, or a third party.

Unauthorized Copies policy, please visit:

All at prices lower than you usually see and many auctions started at a penny 
and some large individuals to 36 kilos with lots of cheap 3 to 10 kilo ones.
See here:
http://stores.ebay.com/DEANS-COLLECTIBLES-AND-GEMSTONES__W0QQ_sidZ1598024?_nkw=el3submit=Search
Or do a ebay search on my ebay user id AMUNRE
I have over 250 meteorites in total listed on ebay so see all my auctions for 
some great NWAs.
If you see some of the larger ones that you want email me and I might be able 
to do a better deal

[meteorite-list] Metal detector Question

[dean bessey]

If somebody was wanting a metal detector with plans to use it searching for 
meteorites, gold nuggets and coins in Australia what would be the best metal 
detector to get?
What things in general does one look for in buying a metal detector?
Thanks
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] (No More) One-Ad Per Week Rule

[dean bessey]

The fact seems to be forgotten that a consensus was taken by Art about 
advertising in his forum.  Advertising is a privilege, not a right and Art was 
considering having no ads at all due to abuse.  The consensus, at the time, was 
that way too many ads were being posted and that one-ad-per-week should be  a 
rule.   List members input was taken into account so this was not only Art's 
wishes but the majority of other members as well. SNIP


This is flat out wrong. There never was any consensus. Art went on record as 
saying that he did not mind ads.
What happened was that 4 or 5 people decided that they would hijack Art's list 
as if it was their own and decide to prevent people from making to many 
(Whatever that means) ads. After months and months of bombarding the list with 
anti ad attack postings Art basically tried to shut up the malcontents that 
dont appriciate the fact that they have the privelidge being a part of what is  
basically the best online meteorite forum and said OK, one a week. 
Then, rather than shut up,  these 4 or 5 people decide to declare themselves 
sherrif and kept going on with this anti ad campaign and even the most minor 
offence (Even during big shows like tucson and munich) was enough to make 
attack postings. They decided to continue making an ass of themselves and 
continue their efforts to hijack arts list as if it was their own.
Then after people started leaving the list because of all these attack postings 
they had the gall to claim that They left because of the ads. (The fact that 
people werent leaving before their hijacking and attacking efforts is 
conveniently ignored).
Nobody leaves this list because of the ads (Well there may have been 2 or 3 
people who left because they are to stupid to use the delete button or block 
sender button in their email settings and dislaike the fact that people are 
allowed to own meteorites like the cultural property people in some governments 
but its an insignificant few). People leave because of the bickering. Dont try 
and twist it around that its not because of those 4 or 5 people that is 
basically ruining things for everybody.
Becides why are you 4 or 5 people constantly harrassing the other 1000 of us 
with your diatrabes? An iq of about six would enable you to understand that the 
only person who matters is art so why dont you email him rather than the rest 
of us who cant do anything even if we did buy the fact that you somehow have 
the right to unilaterally declare yourselves sherrif even though you have no 
ownership or control of this list?
The answer of course is that Art has the smarts to ignore the whackos.
Nobody is forcing anybody to be a part of this list. You dont even need arts 
permission to leave. You can do it yourself.
Stop this assanine BS and let us talk meteorites and have sales. If you have a 
problem dont complain to the other 1000 of us.
And the Majority consensus that you refer to is about the same as what the 
Majority consensus of an iranian election would be. It is flat out not the 
will of the majority of list members or the list owner but the will of 4 or 5 
people who wants to run the list as they see fit (Like the aftermat of an 
Iranian election).
I suspect that cottingshams lastest excessive postings are designed to 
entertain and see how big an ass that certain paople can make of themselves by 
complaining about them. Some people has posted 2 anti ad attacks for every one 
of cottingshams supposedly excessive ads. The other 1000 of us are surely happy 
about that.
Go away. The consensus of the silent majority dont want to listen to your 
attacks anymore

DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] (No More) One-Ad Per Week Rule

[dean bessey]

 Dean,
 Check the archives. As usual, you are flat out wrong. Art
 made the rule, not four or five members.  This is his
 forum and his rules. Several members weighed in before the
 decision was made.
 Take Care,
 Adam
 
Art made the rule after declaring that he dont care (Check the archaives) and 4 
or 5 people bombarded the list with hundreds of anti ad postings making the 
list unbearable.
But my real question is What are you trying to acompolish by bombarding the 
other 1000 of us with multiple postings about the fact that you dont like lots 
of ads. We have no say in the matter wither we like it or not. Lets say that 
me the the other 1000 list members agree with you 100% and we want cottingham 
and big steve kicked off the list? What do you want us to do? Bombard Art with 
hundreds of complaints in the same way that these 4 or 5 people are bombarding 
the rest of us about the compalints about ads?
You are complaining to the wrong people in your effort to stop all of these ad 
postings. The other 1000 of us have no say in the matter.
This has been going on your years and years. We have had to put up with these 
hundreds of anti ad postings for years. Dont you think its time to give it a 
rest? If Art actually cared he would do something about it. These 4 or 5 people 
evidently care more than art does so dont try creating this holier than thou 
attitude in the name of art.
Ad's arent the problem. These attack postings are the real problem (5 postings 
per as commenting on how bad the ad postings are dont seem like a sensible use 
of posting time.
This has gone on for years. Its time to only email art in private if you dont 
like how the list is run. The other 1000 of us dont really want to be a part of 
this crap.
Sincerely
DEAN

Re: [meteorite-list] OT - Gold Hoard Found in England

[dean bessey]

 From: Greg Hupe gmh...@htn.net

 think also that the true story is all about good luck and
 the willingness to get permission and agreements from

It is more than that. It is also an example of common sense historical artifact 
laws at work. Britain has constructed their artifact laws in such a way that it 
is in a finders best interest to report all of their findings (It is also 
illegal to not report your findings but that dont really give you much 
incentive and wont work anyway).
As a result whenever artifact or coin hoards get found in UK everybody who is 
interested gets to study them and learn as much history as possible from the 
stash. And the actual finder gets more money for them than if he tried to sell 
them in secret on the UNESCO black market (Probably has to pay taxes on the 
sale of the hoard also). Finder, science, general public, government, land 
owners - everybody wins with british cultural property laws.
If this stash of gold was found in Italy, Israel, Egypt or Peru, the site would 
have been very quickly destroyed behond recognition and reburied (After dark 
and probably all in one night) to hide any evidence of the sites existance, and 
the gold melted down, stamped Johnson matthey and (With the governments full 
blessing) shipped out of the country.
Rather than being studied by researchers as this hoard will be, it would have 
gone on the next fed ex flight out and went directly from the archaeological

Re: [meteorite-list] OT - Gold Hoard Found in England

[dean bessey]

Well, I am not that up on british law and maybe there is a british legal clause 
that the guys dont own it. That is however different from what the article says 
as it clearly says that they will split the proceeds (Not that reporters always 
get the details right when it comes to value).
It is also contrary to what my friends who are coin and artifact dealers have 
to say about british cultural property laws. Most of them are quite happy with 
how the british handle things and you never hear stories about how they got 
screwed by the cultural property department (Compare what people have to say 
about britain to what they say about canadian cultural property laws for 
example).
Maybe though you are right and that these guys will in fact not get a cent. I 
am not a lawyer. But I am leaning toward thinking that they will get a fair 
shake come payoff time. But if I am wrong and these guys do get their loot 
legally stolen from them by the government you can bet that the next gold stash 
that is found wont end up being studied and on public display but will 
discreetly get sent to switzerland shaped as not so small shiney cubes. 
My bet is that the guys running the cultural property system in britian is 
smarter than that.

 Hi Greg, Dean, All,
 
 This amazing hoard was found just a short distance away
 from me near a place called Brownhills at the side of the
 A5. Lots of discussion about its value on the news as usual.
 I think that in this case it will be classed as treasure as
 it was deliberately hidden ( I think the law is different if
 it is classed as lost ) and will not belong to the landowner
 or the finder, so will not be sold but go to the museums.
 Once valued their will be a reward allocated which in this
 case will belong to the finder as he got permission to
 search from the landowner. Apparently he has agreed to share
 that with the landowner...which only seems fair. 
 
 I intend to visit the museum in Birmingham over the weekend
 to see this exciting historical find right on my doorstep.

Let me know if you have trouble with anything as I only just finished the site 
and there might still be some bugs

Re: [meteorite-list] STOMACH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!

[dean bessey]

Yeah, this list has been pretty much cleaned up and for the last year and a 
half a single black blotch has been keeping this list from becoming a 
respectible list again like it was 10 years ago when many scientists were happy 
to post and be a part of the list and not worry about being associated with 
scumbags.
All culprets in the mud slinging except one has started creating a new 
community spirit again on this list.
I think I speak for almost everybody when I say that we wish Bill would go away 
and let us have our meteorite list back and not continue with the mud slinging 
list.
If there is one person that should be banned it is Bill. 
Go away, you are not wanted here

Re: [meteorite-list] The Scoop on Kem Kem

[dean bessey]

I just got back from australia and am sorting through thousands and thousands 
of emails so my apologies if this has already been answered.
There is no recogonized meteorite term as Kem Kem.
The term Kem Kem dates from the days just before the official creation of the 
term NWA roughly 9 or 10 years ago.
Hundreds of kilos of meteorites were being sold at random in Morocco and 
everybody (Including the met society) was trying to best figure out how to 
catalog and deal with the situation of mixed meteorites from many different 
falls thrown in together and sold in bulk (Not that big a deal nowadays but A 
novel new thing 10 years ago).
Meteorite dealer Michael casper - now I believe (at least semi) retired, got 
his hands on a large quantity (If I remember correctly 300 kilos but my memory 
might be a little off after 10 years) and he sold them in bulk using the name 
KEM KEM and saying that they were found in the Kem Kem desert. They were very 
cheap for meteorites - I believe 30 or 40 cents a gram which was I think the 
first time that any meteorite was ever publicly advertised under $1 a gram. At 
the time everybody probably believed the Moroccans story that they were found 
in the Kem Kem desert but of course nowadays we all take location data with a 
grain of salt at best.
I was among Caspers buyers and on seeing them it was obvious that it was a very 
mixed group of meteorites and from a very wide variety of falls.
Soon afterwards the name NWA was officially put in place and anything 
classified from Caspers Kem Kem hoard (Including NWA001) was given a NWA name.
If you see anything labelled Kem Kem it will almost surely be from caspers one 
time 300 Kilo hoard that just pre dated NWA. Nobody else has ever used that 
name as the introduction of NWA shortly afterwards cancelled peoples need to 
try and make up names to describe their meteorites. 
Almost certainly the location data of caspers 300 kilo hoard is just as iffy as 
location data that you get nowadays so wither they were actually found in Kem 
kem or not is really a moot point as nobody really cares about such details 
nowadays. But your Kem Kem stones can be traced to a particular buy from the 
early days and has that little extra bit of history to them. They were a 
particularly nice group of meteorites also and better than any 300 kilo mixed 
hoard that you are likely to find offered in morocco nowadays.
Sincerely
DEAN

[meteorite-list] Astro Mikes meteor streak Photo

[dean bessey]

I hate to be a party pooper when everybody is all excited about having a photo 
of a meteor fall but astro mikes photo shown on his webpage here:
http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/
Is not exactly all that it is cracked up to be.
Reporters are renouned for not properly checking their info in an effort to get 
a scoupe but somebody deserves a raspberry over this one and at least somebody 
should have seen this photo for what it is before newspapers started printing 
it.
The greenish streak is a starboard (right) wingtip nav light, the centre red is 
the rotating anti-collision beacon, and the red streak is the port (left) 
wingtip nav light. The two brighter white centre lights are the landing lights 
or maybe white tracking lights depending on what type of aircraft it is. It 
would have been flying up the photo to the left of the observer. There was a 
slight wind making the pilot crab into the wind which explains the non perfect 
parellel lines.
The photo has quite a bit of dust and mike needs his CCD chip cleaned.
Basically, While he was inside waiting the the long exposure photo to finish an 
aircraft flew through his image.

DEAN

 Hi Dean and sorry to see you go
 through this sad case of communication malfunction and lack
 of professional  etiquette of EBay. Your right you
 should of been contacted first or at the least as you said
 to just them removing only the pearl auctions. Let me ask
 you a questiondid you hold EBay to paying all your
 listing fees or have them allow you to list for free now
 that you have their explanation?
 Thank you.
 Sincerely
 Don Merchant

 Many thanks Carl for the poswerseller phone number. This
 has caused me $100 in phone bills today but at least the
 powerseller people reinstated my ebay account. The downside
 is that I now have no auctions at all listed and because
 ebay ended everything I have all the details lost so have to
 manually list everything again - 1700 auctions.
 Likely most wont get relisted as I plan to put more stuff
 on websites and diversify from ebay.
 I also found out why they suspended my account. Apparantly
 ebay has started a new rule where tahiti pearls are no
 longer permitted to be listed on ebay.
 So, rather than just end the pearl auctions (Or better yet
 - inform me of the new rule) they just said that I violated
 their rules to often (I assume more than 4 times since I had
 300 tahiti pearl auctions so I violated their listing rules
 300 times) and suspended my account.
 So anyway, thats why I was suspended and ebay has now
 kissed and made up so I can list everything except pearls
 again now.
 Cheers

  Dean,
   Hello, I have heard of you many times and you
 have a great
  reputation so obviously it is not about you. I think
 it is
  likely issues with your links as well. I assume you
 are a
  power seller. We power sellers can call and if you
 call back
  you may get somebody smarter to speak with. The number
 that
  I use is a toll free 866-519-3229. and I am always
 able to
  get answers ( but may take more than one call) . It
  also may be a pearl seller competitor messing with
 you. As
  you know eBay these days is basically a glorified yard
 sale.
  Most dealers make much more from their own web sites.
 Good
  luck to you. Carl

 happened
  to me this morning. I am not making any part of this
 up or
  in any way dramatizing what happened. Neither Stephen
 King
  nor the guys on CSI could make this up.
   I wake up to numerous emails from ebay this
 morning
  from ebay cancelling my auctions and two emails saying
 that
  my account was suspended.
   Many auctions were canceled because they were
  Significantly misrepresented. After 3 hours of
 chatting
  with people I finally get through to the trust and
 safety
  people after a recommendation from ebay australia.
   I was told that somebody (who??? - she had no way
 of
  knowing who) decided that my auctions were
  misrepresented. She couldent tell me what was
 misrepresented
  just that they look at the description, picture and
 content
  when deciding was what misrepresented but she had no
 way of
  knowing exactly what.
   So I try and reason with her. If you cant tell
 me
  what it is about my auctions that was misrepresented
 how can
  I not repeat the problem in the future?
   Sit down before you read her response.
   She said that if ebay told everybody what they
 look
  for when they decide that auctions are misrepresented
 then
  people would do things to get around their security
 checks
  in future auctions so it would be a security violation
 to
  tell me what it was about my auctions that was being
  misrepresented and therfore canceled (And leading to
 my
  suspension.) She then said that my suspension was for
 7 days
  so even if she did tell me it wouldent make any
 difference
  because you cant list on ebay for 7 days again
 anyway.
   Reasoning is getting harder. OK

Re: [meteorite-list] My Ebay suspension

[dean bessey]

I have had 5 people email me privately with a message saying something to the 
effect of Whats up with pearls - and could meteorites be next, so I will 
email the group rather than individually?
Answer is be afraid - be very afriad.
Apparantly the laws concerning the export and import of pearls are 
complicated so ebay has decided to no longer allow them (But there are still 
some listed on ebay and the Trust and saftety department told me it would be 
a security violation to give me this information - because people might use the 
info to circumvent those rules) so who the hell knows what ebay is up to. Even 
their own employees are kept in the dark (Presumably for security reasons)
I was told that it is illegal to export pearls from French Polynesia directlty 
into the USA (Whats up, has obama got a new dislike for the french? - if I 
promise to never ever again use the term French Fry can I then list tahiti 
pearls again?) and that I should look into the laws regarding pearls in my own 
country before I sell anymore.
So, I am told that conflicting and complicated laws are responsible for pearls 
getting prohibited from ebay.
Hm. Complicacated and conflicting laws? That wouldent also apply to 
Meteorites, artifacts, coins, collectibles - not to mention leather pants 
(Countries where cows are sacred) or a free press in general in some countries  
would it. 
Ebay was started to sell laser pointers if I remember correctly. Maybe 
eventually thats all that will be allowed again.
Me thinks that people should start diversifying from ebay as quickly and as 
much as possible. Paypal to (Nobody has ever had problems with paypal of 
course).
I now have 1700 auctions that disapeared and ebay tells me sorry, shit happens, 
now just be a good little boy and relist them all again so we can collect more 
ebay fees - and if we decide to end them all without telling you why and 
keeping all those fees again, well, shit happens.
Spending a lot of time looking for non ebay ways to sell right now

[meteorite-list] My Ebay suspension

[dean bessey]

As if you didnt need another reason to try and diversify your business away 
from ebay here is what happened to me this morning. I am not making any part of

guys on CSI could make this up.
I wake up to numerous emails from ebay this morning from ebay cancelling my 
auctions and two emails saying that my account was suspended.
Many auctions were canceled because they were Significantly misrepresented. 
After 3 hours of chatting with people I finally get through to the trust and 
safety people after a recommendation from ebay australia.

my  auctions were misrepresented. She couldent tell me what was misrepresented 
just that they look at the description, picture and content when deciding was

So I try and reason with her. If you cant tell me what it is about my auctions 
that was misrepresented how can I not repeat the problem in the future?
Sit down before you read her response.
She said that if ebay told everybody what they look for when they decide that

security checks in future auctions so it would be a security violation to tell 
me what it was about my auctions that was being misrepresented and therfore 
canceled (And leading to my suspension.) She then said that my suspension was 
for 7 days so even if she did tell me it wouldent make any difference because 
you cant list on ebay for 7 days again anyway.
Reasoning is getting harder. OK, for my information. in seven days time when I 
get back on ebay again can you tell me what about my auctions was 
misrepresented so that I can fix them and not violate your policy in the future 
so I dont get kicked off again?.
Sorry, telling you what the problem is would be a security violation and if 
people who what they looked for would do things to circumvent their rules in 
the future.
This is going nowhere. I wish that I had a copy of that phone conversation. It 
would have looked good on youtube.
In addition, the emails that ended the auctions said this:

eBay has restricted your ability to list new items as a result of a policy 
violation. We'd be happy to lift this restriction once you've completed a brief 
tutorial about this policy. The next time you sign in to your eBay account, 
click on ?Sell? and ?Sell Your Item.? You?ll then be asked to take the 
tutorial. Once you've completed it, you can begin selling again immediately.
__
Unfortunately, doing so is not possible so I cant even sign on. Even their 
emails dont make sense.
So with a bit of luck, sometime in the next 7 days they will tell me what was 
wrong with my auctions so that I can fix it and not violate their policy - 
although maybe they will not because doing so might enable me to fix the 
problem out and circumvent their rules in the future.
I plan to spend the next 7 days getting some shopping cart websites built and 
trying out other sites to sell stuff. Anybody got any ideas where else to list 
stuff? Anybody know somebody with ebay who will talk to me?
Apparantly it was my pearl auctions that was somehow misrepresented but its not 
possible to find out why. It sgoing to be a pain relisting 1700 auctions. It 
probably wont get done - especially if I can figure out how to build a nice 
shopping cart website
Cheers
DEAN
On a completely different note I need to come up with around $2000 in my paypal 
account in the next week so I am particularly into dealing from my website 
right now WWW.METEORITESHOP.COM so if you see anything let me know.
Also, you people out there who owe me money, now is a good time to pay up.

Re: [meteorite-list] Sellers, would you like to keep more of your money?

[dean bessey]

I hadent seen that before. Yes, clicking personal on the send payment option 
does bring up more options that I hadnt realized was there. I pay paypal 
between $500 and $1000 a month so it could save me money.
So who wants to buy something from my website and try it and see if it works?
Maybe I could entice somebody with a 25% discount on anything on my website 
www.meteoriteshop.com to see if it actually works

 Yes,  but does the buyer get the

 money is sent to an individual instead of to a seller as a

  I have found a nice way to beat the system when it
 comes to getting money with paypal.
  Instead of sending money with the purchase tab, use
 the personal tab and you will not have to pay the paypal
 fees when you recieve the money.
  This can add up to substantial savings over time.
  
  Dealers, all you need to do is ask the person buying
 from you is for them to instead of clicking the purchase
 tab, click the personal tab on the paypal send money page.
  You will pay NO FEES on the money you recieve!
  Again, this will add up to nice savings over time.
  
  Hope this will help some of you out there, in tough
 times (and good ones) every little bit helps.

 Hello everyone,
 I recently purchased a small endpiece of what I assumed was
 probably a
 pairing to NWA 5546.
 
 After cleaning it up a bit, I noticed an overall elongation
 and
 orientation of the chondrules.  I was wondering if anyone
 else would
 agree from the picture at the link below.
 http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/pkmorgan/share/cv3b.jpg
 
 I've always been fascinated by Leoville and while this may
 not be as
 extreme, I thought I'd go out on a limb and see if anyone
 else saw it.
 
 For those of you who have some, does this look like NWA
 5546?  Is
 there any reason to believe this might not even be a CV3?
 
 Also, I tend to collect smaller pieces to match my budget
 and was
 surprised at how hard this pulled to a magnet.  More like
 an H
 chondrite.  How do the different carbonaceous classes
 typically
 respond to a magnet?  In Ruben's recent CK recovery video
 I recall
 that those responsed fairly strongly as well.
 
 Thanks,
 Phil

[meteorite-list] AD: BIG NWA WEBSITE UPDATE

[dean bessey]

I have been busy adding new NWA meteorites to my website and significantly 
marking down (by 20% to 50%) meteorites that have been sitting there unsold for 
a while. Lots of NWA bargains.
See my website here:
http://www.meteoriteshop.com
For direct links to the sale pages click here:

http://www.meteoriteshop.com/meteoritesale/wsale23.html
In addition I have several hundred more meteorites listed on ebay including 
some Martians. See my ebay user id AMUNRE
I want to sell off some of my ebay items and am into making deals so if you see 
something in my ebay auctions that interests you email me and maybe we can make 
a deal on it
Thanks for viewing my sale.
