The tkw and number of stones recovered from WI are significantly
smaller than those of Ash Creek, so prices are likely to stay fairly
high, but...it's a fall like any other, so the price will likely
deflate once the typical frenzy fades.
I'm still trying to figure out why the price jump occurred,

Hello All,
All we can do is look at this object...objectively.
Sterling made some good points; while it might be possible for an
iron meteorite to attain such a shape...it's not likely.
It seems much more likely to be a man-made object if only
becauseit's a very inorganic shape. It's one
Hello David, All,
I spent the weekend camping with some friends and somehow managed to
get type-A strep. by the day we returned, so I'm just getting back
into the swing of things. I have a few other emails to get back to,
which I'll do in short order.
This is nothing new, and has been the policy

Hello Steve, All,
I'm going to say that this is no longer about Joe's find, but about
meteorites in general...Martin's message is replied to below this
post.
The scientific value in a meteorite is in the information it contains. To
obtain most of this information, a rock has to be cut,
, except by art critics.
The criticism and condescension exhibited by some meteorite collectors over
the collecting or curatorial preferences of others leaves me feeling
uncomfortable.
Wishing everyone a terrific weekend / Darryl

Hello Greg, All,
First-off, congrats to Joe - hell of a find.
But I really don't understand what you bring up, Greg. If it's your
dream to find one, and you finally do, you don't cut it up and sell it
three days later.
The story reminds me of quite a few, to be honest: dealer chases down
