My collection dates WAY BACK to Oct.20 of last year :-). I spent alot of time in the yard with my 6 yr old daughter and my little telescope and she has found a place in her heart for a clear night sky. I had subscribed to this list along with several astronomy lists when I got the scope and had read some of the postings but never took the plunge and bought one.
When Michelles 7th birthday rolled around i wanted to get her a small "special" gift that wasn't a toy or a dress but represented the hours bent over an eyepiece looking at the moon and planets. Nothing could be more perfect than a meteorite, something that was really up there! So I got an unclassified unnamed individual from Mark Bostick. My kid was the first on the block to have a space rock!. It's a darned pretty stone too, great metal, nice color, nice crust too. But it infected me. I now have 21 micromounts here, with 13 more on the way. Once I have a well rounded set of the various types I'll "upgrade". Assuming a well rounded budget of course. I recently found a dutch auction for little Gibeon fragments (15 pcs) so the rest of the kids on the block now have a space rock too. Think their parents will catch it too? I enjoyed reading your stories, CYA next auction....Mike Show your support at the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund - http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/my-pay-page/PKAXFNQH7EKCX/058-5084202-7156648 _______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
