Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim Meteorite Show 2015

2015-03-28 Thread Anne Black via Meteorite-list

To answer Pierre-Marie, 
And anyone who might be worried,

I checked with the Ensisheim team, everything is getting prepared as usual, no 
problems at all.
Zelimir is very busy, traveling a lot and not always within sight of a 
computer, but no worries.

The Ensisheim Show will happen has usual. 
This year:  From June 19 to 21.
See you there.

Hello,

does anybody know what happens to Zelimir and Ensisheim Show ?

We had an annoucement in january asking to wait for more information. We 
are soon in April and still no information for the organisation and 
reservation of  tables...

And Zelimir doesn't answer to any of my emails...

Very exciting indeed, my first ever Ensisheim Show :-) Very much
looking forward to meeting in person rather than online many folk who
I have interacted with over the years and making some new
acquaintances too :-)

I can't wait, see you all there :-)

 Hello All,

 In just a few short days some of us will start making or way to

 Europe and
 congregate at the Ensisheim and Sainte Marie aux Mines shows. I am looking

 favorite show when it comes down to pure meteorites, no beads or junk, just
 meteorites and fun meteorite people! I am not sure what I am bringing to offer
 for sale yet, so if I have anything that you may be interested in, please send

 Here is a little Ensisheim history to get warmed up by...

 Ensisheim meteorite...

 ...a meteorite whose descent from the sky onto a wheat field in

 Alsace (now
 part of France) in 1492 is one of the earliest instances of a meteorite fall 
 on
 record.  Maximillian I, who was proclaimed Holy Roman emperor soon afterward,
 assembled his council to determine the significance of this event; their 
 verdict
 was that the meteorite was a favorable omen for success in Maximilian’s wars
 with France and Turkey.  Accordingly, Maximilian ordered the Ensisheim stone 
 to
 be placed with an appropriate inscription in the local parish church.  The
 meteorite was fixed to the wall with iron crampons to prevent it from 
 wandering
 at night or departing in the same violent manner in which it had arrived.  It
 resides in the town of Ensisheim today, although visitors in the intervening
 centuries chipped off all but 56 kg (123 pounds) of its original 127-kg mass.


 See you at the show!!

 Greg

Re: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim Meteorite show - brief account

2006-06-18 Thread Gerald Flaherty
Thanks for taking the time to share Svend. I'll idle away in daydreams of 
splendid diogenites by virtue of your splendid descriptions.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Ensisheim Meteorite show - brief account



Good evening folks,

inquiring minds wanted to know so I take the liberty to offer a brief 
account on what was going on on in Ensisheim.


We arrived late friday evening just in time to witness the culmination of 
a red wine taste celebrated by a mixed US-Moroccan-German table in the 
back yard of La Couronne hotel. Mike Farmer, Mohammed, Dave Schulz, Andi 
Gren, Harald Strehlik and Jim Strope shared a number of adventures jumping 
from Tokio to Tucson to Las Vegas to the Hamburger Reeperbahn and to some 
other bizarre coordinates that slipped through my memory.


The next day presented a concentration of cosmic matter of unseen density 
in the historic town hall. People rushed in the exhibition hall like 
sharks in a feeding frenzy. For some dealers the show paid off within the 
first hours. The competion was massive.


About five or six tables backed up by the Erfoud, Midelt and Zagora 
commection were completely focussed on NWAs, most of them uncut. This 
meant a lot of work for Marcin who had set up his saw in the yard. As I 
stepped by, a croud gathered around the lucky buyer of a freshly cut NWA 
that suspiciously resembled a diogenite.


Classic locations were presented in lower quantities, at least that was my 
impression. Almost no Sikhotes, just here and there a few, very few 
Gibeons, only a handful of Tazas. Campos of course were the exception. 
Hans Koser, the king of Campos, had about fifty on his table, beside some 
nice Uruacu individuals representing his recent finds. As a surprise he 
brought two large slices of the new Brazil meteorite Santa Vitoria do 
Palmar (provisionary) with him. That material was offered for 5 EUR /gm.


Beside the planetary and achondritic rarities displayed on the tables of 
Mike Farmer, Marcin, Martin Altmann, Stefan Ralew (who was honoured and 
accepted as a new guardian of the Ensisheim meteorite)and the other usual 
suspects, the tables of Hanno Strufe and J. Nauber need to be mentioned. 
J. Nauber displayed a magnificent 2 gm fragment of Chasigny and an 
exceptionally well prepared 12gm slice of a striking lunar regolith 
breccia.


But the killer was a 32 gm slice of a newly classified diogenite that was 
unlike any other I have seen. The yellowish slice looked like an assembly 
of humongous centimeter sized pyroxene crystals embedded in a Thai curry 
colored matrix spiced with distinct green olivine sparks. Another piece of 
exceptional beauty was a yet unclassified meteorite displayed by Andi 
Gren, that has chances to enter the Bulletin as the next bencubinite. The 
creme de la creme of rare historic US-localities could be found on the 
table of Anne Black, I'am convinced her asortment represented at least one 
third of the Texas and New Mexico localities.


Compared to the recent years only few tables were set up by Russian 
dealers. Surprisingly and in contrast to the general opinion regarding the 
recent Oman issues there is still fresh material coming out of Oman. Of 
exceptional quality were some heavily shocked and very fresh looking 
Eucrites from the Dhofar region. The jet black crust just coated by a fine 
layer of caliche twenty potatoe sized individuals lay on a table - a 
beautiful sight.


The 1st day ended with the traditional festival, powered by the 
Meteor-brewery and the local accordion orchestra. Just in time after a 
beaaitiful and hot sunshiny day a deluvian drove everybody into the large 
tents where the party continued until the early morning. While one half of 
the accordion orchestra continued to play under the portico a group of 
four players seperated into the tent and started to battle their 
opponents. It was the trumpets of Jericho against the trumpets of the Last 
Judgement. The sound was so tremendous, Manfred Dannapfel was scared the 
olivines may fall out of his newly acquired Fukang pallasite.


There is much more to tell and those actors I did not mention may forgive 
me, as this account is just an impression and by no means representative. 
I'am sure others will share there stories and pictures as well.


best regards

Svend
