As all too many of us know, to have something stolen from us is an
awful, awful feeling---and this being among the most resplendent and
valuable pallasitic Glorieta slices made it worse. But it seems to me

Hi Scott and all,
There are quite a few good dealers who are not IMCA members. In fact some of
the larger, most successful dealers are not. So don't cut yourself off from
those long time decent dealers. I'd be glad to compose a list for you. I
belonged at first but decided not to renew when
Hello,
cutting again and again these last days on my old and new stones, I produced
this weekend slices on my H3.8 NWA 5316. A deep purple matrix, hard to picture,
and nice chondrules :

Wow! That is a pretty cool stone. Prices look very reasonable. I'm
not a buyer but I just want to say that I appreciate the fact that you
took pictures of the whole stone before cutting and shared those
pictures on your ad. Nice!

Scott..you'll find IMCA members are about all honest sellers but also
some of my favorites are not IMCA members. It takes a while to know
the good guys.
i will gladly give you my list of sellers I buy from constantly..off

Bern,
A question I have thought about...
How many meteorite dealers actually collect meteorites? Im not talking about
one or two, Im talking about a nice collection that is not for stock.
For me, I see and am finding out more and more dealers that dont actually
collect meteorites. This is shocking
Awesome samples! Being a possible pairing to NWA 5400 makes it even more nice!
You give us tough choices putting that and the outstanding diogenite on the
same page...

The question was presented. How many dealers have a personal collection?
My brother Greg and I started out as collectors and continue to this day. I
believe we have more planetary main masses than anybody in the world.
Here is an image of part of the Hupe Planetary Collection.

Well said Anne. And Al, I'll stand behind Anne for recommendation. In

Very interesting what you put forward. But I think that some pride
themselves in being dealers, which is not a big deal. You have dealers
or brokers that deal in high end coins and none of them have a coin
collection. Their job is to supply to the collectors and I personally am
glad

Wow! And double Wow! Sorry, I was picking my jaw up off the ground.
What an awesome collection. I'm totally impressed.

Hi Adam and List,
Holy Smokes Batman! That is a seriously hardcore collection of main
masses. That NWA 5000 is big enough to place on the floor and stand
on it carefully. Then you can say that you walked on the moon..!

I started out as a collector and then started trading/selling
specimens
Hi list.I just got a nice slice of AC 001 that was found by Dr. Carion in
2000.Was this ever classified as is,or was it put under another name as
classified? I cannot find any source of info on this anywhere.Any help would
appreciated.

Point taken Greg.
But there is another side to this picture.
I was collecting minerals (and still am) long before Alain Carion
introduced me to meteorites. When I started to meet and know dealers I was
struck by
comments I kept on hearing coming out of those dealers, something like I
found a
I find that most collectors do need or want the very best specimens, far too
expensive. They desire a nice example that represents a certain type with the
proper study, preparation, ID cards and provenance. They demand good service
which they are entitled to. Very few are able to step up and
I heard one autograph dealer once say I enjoy the letters while they are in
my possession, and when I sell them, they are replaced by new ones that I
enjoy as long as I have them.
I guess the same can go for meteorite dealers. You can have a passion for
the items which you sell, enjoy them
Good question Greg.
Interesting answers so far too.
I'll comment as someone who collects and has never been a dealer. 20 or so
years ago when I started collecting coins, I found that most of the better
dealers were the ones that collected as well. They had the knowledge and
enthusiasm of a
I have often thought that also, its a great point you mentioned. For me with my
interest in space, now knowing I can own pieces of it... I just could not
imagine not having a collection and would be sad not to have one after having
what I do now.
Im not saying its bad to sell but not collect,
For those possibly interested – please take a look.

It should have read do not need instead of do need.

I am a collector that can't sell. My brother is begging me for a
particular meteorite...
I make money completely differently than selling meteorites, so of
course that has tons to do with whether a seller has a collection.

Hello all:
For those of you who do not know me, I am imca 9322, a serious meteorite
collector and a dealer. I started collecting many years ago and now have 509
different witnessed falls in my collection, as well as 77 non-witnessed
locations. I do not understand anyone associated with

this day,has said it best.IF YOU HAVE 1 METEORITE YOU ARE A COLLECTER. IF YOU
HAVE 2 METEORITES YOU ARE A DEALER. Words have never more spoken with truth
behind them. This coming from THE best hunter ever.
That's right AC001 was found by Alain Carion in the Sahara in 2000.
And he did give the Musee d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris a piece of it for
classification, but The Musee never got around to looking at it. Too busy?
Because it is only an ordinary chondrite? I don't know.
But Alain told me
Steve,
I'd guess Bob's line was more of a witty, off-the-cuff comment than a statement
of undeniable truth. I suspect there are LOTS of people with two or more
meteorites, who aren't dealers. Just a guess on my part.
I once owned a different car than I have now. And I once sold some
Meteorites are a simple commodity so brokers are a natural thing.
I wonder how many resident hunters in NWA and elsewhere have a few they're
hesitant to part with. Sentiment based on the circumstances of a find can be
very powerful regardless of value or need.

Few of you will know me
but I've collected meteorites for about 30 years. David New was sort
of my mentor. He didn't collect them but I did, which made for a
nice arrangement. If he found something I was seeking, I knew I had
first dibs on it.

Spoke to Blaine this pm. He is slowly getting over the chicken pox.
His wife Wendy has avoided it.

John, List,
All due respect and nothing personal here but.
I'm quite sure you know that the $20.00 annual membership fee is not a
deterrent for anybody to Join the IMCA.
But the truth is that there are many reasons one has to contemplate when
joining any organized organization.

Getting senile or too many martinis...
A question that can't really be settled

biopsy.
That's why I avoid getting one, anyway...

Does anyone know how stable will be to have a wedding ring made out of martian
