Hi everyone, I am in Chigcago, on my way home after a travel day from hell with

all costs right now. Pretty much strip searches, plastic baggie with passport

I think Strope got it right, it is over 3100.00 grams. Exaughsted from another
day of Muonionalusta hunting. Out of 7 teams hunting today, there was only one
10 kilogram meteorite found. This area is odd, some days are great, some
produce nothing.

What do you mean? I have been posting for a week that I have over 350 grams of
this meteorite which will soon be for sale. Or do you mean the roof smasher
piece? I for one, am glad that a stone of such beauty will remain intact, and
not be smashed up for sale on ebay.

Here is the official list of Lunar meteorites.
Not sure where the 120 # came from, there are only 38 official known lunar
meteorites. We know of a couple more that are being worked on, but this is it.
http://epsc.wustl.edu/admin/resources/meteorites/moon_meteorites_list.html
Why do that, they are paired pieces, some of the Oman meteorites for example,
20 stones were found, they are all numbered, but not different meteorites.
There are 38 seperate unpaired lunar meteorites. Hell, I have about 10,000 gao
stones, so should they all be numbered and given new names?
Then like Brenham or Brahin, you pays your money and you takes your chances?
Brenham and Brahin cost like 90% less than Fukang, so paying $1 or $2 gram and
losing it is not like spending $20 or $25 gram on Fukang and not having a clue
where your piece came from. How is a buyer going to know if
Yes Matt, I understand, but you cant just make it so simple as well. We all
know that some Brahin is crap, some is superb, same with Brenham. Yet I have
never seen Esquel rust, nor Seymchan, nor Glorietta.
This comes from the fact that people have been touting how nice Fukang is (and

Please clarify Ken, you say the Fukang specimen is very nice, and then you say
you are watching it rust everywhere. Those two statements are not compatible.
Either it is nice, or it is a rusting piece of crap. Meteorites that rust on me
are never considered nice.

That tells me that it is a dangerous, unstable meteorite not worth buying and
spending thousands of $$$ to take the risk of it melting into a pile of nearly
worthless olivine crystals. I will take Esquel, Seymchan, or Imilac any day,
