Re: [meteorite-list] aziz habibi and his bad behavior

Hi, Mohamed rendition is in-part incorrect. Aziz has been in contact with the owner for quite some time now, and as Rachid, myself and others can attest, the trigger to Habibi's interest was certainly not the interest expressed by Mohamed this past weekend. In an effort sanctioned by

Re: [meteorite-list] aziz habibi and his bad behavior

Hi, When Mohamed inferred his interaction with the seller was this past Saturday—that was a detail I could speak to. Given the reframing, I can only say this story has more wrinkles than a retirement home. It has also, unfortunately, been a banquet of missteps, false accusations and

HI, With great respect, Adam, your references to Claxton and Peekskill do not comport with what I've read -- as well was what I've experienced -- and I don't think I'm going out on a limb here by suggesting I'm not alone here. All the best / Darryl On Nov 16, 2015, at 3:39 AM,

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Goes Ivy League - NEW Display at Yale!

Hi, While this is great — many congratulations! — the exhibit headline incorrectly states that NWA 5000 is "The World's Largest Lunar Meteorite." In the exhibit description it states that NWA 5000 is the largest lunar meteorite ever discovered. Despite being uber-cool, NWA 5000 never held

Re: [meteorite-list] Kalahari lunar vs NWA 5000

Folks NWA 5000 is a spectacular meteorite whose resume did not require enhancing. I wholly agree there is no lunar that's nicer. That said, Kalahari 009 exists —it's a fact. I am not going to climb into the details other than to share that the owner is a paranoid eccentric who has

Re: [meteorite-list] Stability of Sericho (Habaswein)

Hi Everyone… Just picked up on this thread and I agree with MikeM. However, more to his point, Gibeon sold for as little as $16/kg — and spectacular specimens. The Gibeon Owl — the cover lot of the Heritage Meteorite catalog of several years back — that’s right, acquired for $16/kg.

Re: [meteorite-list] AD -Auctions Ending Tonight and Tomorrow

Clarification is required. The low estimate is $1,500/g (before commission). While the reserve is far lower still, NWA 5000 is indeed the preeminent lunar meteorite of our time. > On Feb 6, 2018, at 4:44 PM, Adam Hupe via Meteorite-list > wrote: >

Hi Elizabeth, Bur-Abor is not considered an “unwitnessed fall” by anyone as no such designation exists. The features of this meteorite are consistent with a residency on Earth of at least decades — if not centuries...or far more; Bur-Abor is an outstanding, highly weathered meteorite.
