Re: [meteorite-list] SPACE EXPO - OFF TOPIC (TANGENTIALLY)

Hi Darryl,

Just a few quick thoughts:

Scale model of the solar system
Meteorite hunting in a salted strewn field with magnet canes
digital polarizing microscope with a cool thin section
spectroscope
Mars rover race
Make a comet 
telescope observing

Many of these ideas may not work for you. Could you tell us more about the 
event?

Thanks,

Re: [meteorite-list] Major Announcement following Heritage Auction

Hi Steve,

May I suggest that you start a service where you add meteorites to your 
collection for a time and then return them to their original owners. Once the 
rocks have gained some Meteorite Men patina the value will increase 10 fold. 
I need to get me some provenance.

Hi Jim,

I don't think that the story is about the the April 12, 2012 fireball. That was

Hi,

I think the broadcast is an old one. The video is of the Mifflin fireball. The 
story refers to the Wednesday night's fireball. Mifflin fell on a Wednesday. 
The meteorite in the video resembles Mifflin. Therefor I believe that the story 
is about Mifflin.

My guess is that it was a way to allow auction houses to better compete of 
consignments. I wouldn't be surprised if the final price of the item might be

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Sharing a positive

List,  

Just a brief note to temper recent topics.  I made a
deal a while back to trade for a tektite from a deep
jungle location.  My contact had never attempted an
international shipment before, so I agreed to send my
part of the trade first.  Both of us were nervous
whether it would make it through the mail.  Finally,
it did.  Today I received the following:

Im very happy right now because the meteorite and
meteoritic glasses have been arrived this saturday. I
will send the tektite and some unknown material that
chapadmalal-like material. Im in hurry to send the
items to you this day..
Thanks 'cause made me happy!
(name)

This note made me happy too, so I thought I'd pass it
along.  Newbies might wonder about some of the
negative emotions visible on the list from time to
time, but there's some heart-warming good stuff that
more than makes up for it.  

Along that line, part of the fun of Tucson is shaking
hands with people we know from the list but are
meeting face to face for the first time.  This is a
very unique community!  Thanks to all!

Cheers,
Norm

Subject: [meteorite-list] D'Orbigny, Unusual Angrite,Thin Section
Photographs

Hello list,

(Forgive me for if any of the following is scientifically wrong, this is my 
observations paired with my at times limited knowledge.)

I recently received a D'Orbigny thin section.  Which I have placed several 
photographs of on my web site at the following web page.

http://www.meteoritearticles.com/coldorbigneyts.html

One the best thin sections I have. OK, move over NWA 998, it is the best.  
This is due to its prismatic augite crystals, often found twisted with 
olivine, randomly placed anorthite shards, and the many large vugs/vug 
inclusions, in the stone. Some of these are filled with olivine or glass, 
some are empty and some are hollow, meaning the show traces of the former. 
In one vug on my thin section, is a well formed specter shaped crystal 
sticking out. In my microscope it appears bright red, so perhaps it is 
olivine. Another interesting note on the crystal that it formed in a hollow 
vug. Meaning in a vug that has traces of the former minerals that once 
filled the vug. This would mean of course that it formed after whatever was 
in the vug, which is most likely olivine. This is all my amateur observation

and if anyone thinks the crystal, seen in photo 7, is not olivine, let me 
know your opinion please. Also photo 7 and photo 11, shows particle bugs 
with, under cross polars, appears brown as shown. This is what I think are 
hollow vugs, as described in a couple of papers. The former mineral thing 
again. Empty vug walls are shown in photos 7 and 8.

Opinions and thoughts welcomed,

Clear Skies,
