Not once did I ever say to anyone it came from you. Anyone who claims I did, I
invite them post the email where I made that claim...
I am sending a sample off to be tested Monday to Tony Irving and the test
results will speak for themselves as to what this is - however Im sure anyone
can see

Be careful Greg, now that you are offering planetaries at reasonable
prices, you are going to be viewed as competition by the big guys -
then they will start stabbing you in the back. Those who are driven
by money are threatened by those like us who don't give a crap about
profits. ;)
Nice
This has nothing to do with competition. It has everything to do with proper
chain of custody, legitimate nomenclature assignment, TKW figures, science and
collector confidence. Just because a Moroccan dealer says something is a lunar
meteorite does not make it so. Just ask the buyers who got
There have been some very convincing lunar-looking Eucrites that have
fooled some of the best.
And there are some convincing lunar-looking eucrites that the best
have fooled the rest of us with. ;)
Some of them are so convincing that they are lunars, right? ;)
The Moroccans are no more or less
I understand that. I have already taken the steps to get it checked out.
The first thing I did once I got it was to contact Ted Bunch.
Perhaps my post was a bit harsh, but some of the emails I have gotten made me
feel like people are pissed that I am selling it cheaper then others want me to.
Dear List - Greg C. has supplied a sample for classification. Although the
sample looks like a lunar on first impression, Tony Irving and I will do the
classification and answer the question as to whether it is truly lunar or a
wannabe.

Here's a couple funny lighthearted videos about the death and
destruction of our home planet.
Lets build a ship to run away to another habitable planet. Wait, we
haven't found one yet. Oh Well...
Besides even if we did find a habitable planet, it would take thousands
of years (using

If it is the real Monzogabbro, you can sell it using the number 4734, it came
from the stone Dr. jambon analysed and got the 20g twice, you don't need to
present another sample.
Good luck

Adam,
Actually, it has *everything* to do with competition. There are those on
this List, though they be few in number, who don't gouge their customers when
they sell a meteorite. Too many dealers charge outrageous prices for similar
products. Inevitably, I read posts from the
How is this gouging people, over a $1,000.00 worth of lunar material started at
just 99 cents? This material has been running long before this conversation

Hi Meteorite Folks and Listees!
I have finished moving to Florida and have unpacked my collection. My
online store is now back up and running. I have added dozens of new
specimens recently, including 15 different meteorite books, etched

Adam,
Look, I understand that you're a big time hunter/dealer. I'm just a
relatively new collector who has had to put my collecting on hold due to the
fantastic economy. So, I don't claim to know nearly as much as you as far
as values, etc... But, right now, you have a 362 mg Dhofar
I collect ungrouped irons, and am looking for a slice of Zacatecas
(1792) an ungrouped iron.
The specimen on ebay:
Hola Greg,
Interesting point, but kind of moot; while you are correct in stating
that Adam is assuming relatively little financial risk in listing
items with starting bids of $0.99, if you have problems with the
prices they're fetching, the people you should be complaining to are
collectors, not
Hello Mike,
Indeed, that's not a piece of the more common Zacatecas (1969).
See here; that iron is clearly recrystallized:

While I haven't been able to find a picture of the etch of the
Zacatecas (1792) iron, I was able to find this picture of
Thanks Jason,
Don Edwards has a photo in the encyclopedia of meteorites, but it is
not very clear. I was trying to decide if it was the re-crystalized
1969 Zacatecas or the 1792 one. I'm inclinded to think it is the 1792
Zacatecas, but there is room for confusion.
Hello Mike,
http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/test/Zacatecas1792_don_edwards.jpg
Clearly recrystallized, the piece on Don's site looks like a slice of
the 1969 individual. The trouble is that if that really is a piece of
the 1792 fragment, then the one on ebay isn't a piece of either
Hi Jason,
Believe me when I tell you, I understand the law of supply and demand. My
main point is that there are some hunter/dealers who are definitely more
reasonable than others. I have what I consider to be some very nice specimens
in my rather small collection. The people who
