Subject: METEORITE SALE UPDATED Tolar, Pasamonte (b), and Kermit
...... Hello Everyone,
UPDATED NOTE!
Here is my updated sale list. PLEASE
NOTE! ANY
remaining items will of course make their way to
ebay.
At that time the PRICE WILL INCREASE when the
following
meteorites make it to ebay. If you want
any you better get them
now...because they are ALL Low Known Weights and I
am
raising their prices when they get to
ebay.
Today I am offering several newly classified
meteorites from the
Southwestern United States. Tolar, New
Mexico, Pasamonte (b), New
Mexico, and Kermit, Texas. These were all
recovered by my wife Wren
and I during our summer 2001 Field
Work.
PLEASE NOTE!
I accept checks or money orders, but prefer PAYPAL
whenever possible.
SHIPPING IS FREE.... WORLDWIDE.
ALL METEORITES ARE AS STATED (AUTHENTIC).
They ALL come with
an identification card and ALL specimens are
returnable for any reason
within 15 days of receipt.
***** INCLUDED WITH EACH PURCHASE IS A FREE COPY OF
DR. HUSS REPORT, With
COLOR THIN SECTION PHOTOCOPY! REALLY
COOL!
TOLAR, H4 Chondrite, De
Baca County, New Mexico, Found 1972, Recognized as
a meteorite in Jan., 2002. Total Known
Weight is 5350 grams. This meteorite was
found by a rancher while rounding up his
cattle. He saw one of my "meteorite wanted"
posters in a local store and contacted me in
June of 2001. We went out to the site where he had
found the meteorite in 1972 and we searched the
dune blowouts for more, but we came
up empty. I purchased the stone from him
and ASU did the classification work.
Tolar has a dark grey-black appearance and at
times it seems to have a bluish tint. There
is a scattering of metal with some strange and
varied veining running throughout some of
the slices. I cut this meteorite somewhat on
the thick side....about 8 mm average.
These specimens of Tolar are very attractive and
with a LOW total known weight, I
believe they are a great buy at the prices
below! After cut loss, donation specimen
and such, what you see below is just about
everything that is available....not that
much........

FREE REPORT WITH EACH PASAMONTE (b)
PURCHASE!
PASAMONTE (B), L6 Chondrite, Union
County, New Mexico, Found August 2001, Total Known
Weight is ONLY 185 grams! My wife
Wren and I spent a lot of time this summer hunting
The Pasamonte Strewnfield looking for more of
the Pasamonte (Eucrite). This Eucrite is
way too fragile to have survived on the ground
since its fall....but I needed to get this
search out of my mind once and for all. We
hiked and searched the Pasamonte Strewnfield
for several hundred hours and probably walked
over 100 miles....searching...searching.
While we didn't find any of the
Eucrites....we did find this one little stone tucked
away in an eroded area. Gary Huss at
ASU did the work on this stone and it is an L6.
I think it is very pretty and with a low known
weight very desirable. The closest landmark
was the Pasamonte Ranch..... hence the name
Pasamonte (b). N 36 degree 14. 562 by
W 103 degree 45.515..... this is where the stone
was found. I am keeping the
Main Mass for now (40.59 grams), ASU got ~24 grams.
What I have listed below is
pretty much all that is for
sale.......
Pasamonte (b) 12.15 gram complete
slice....................... $243.00
Pasamonte (b) 10.13 gram complete

KERMIT 001, H4 Chondrite, Winkler
County, Texas, Found August 2001, Total Known
Weight is ONLY 67.5 grams. However Kermit 001
will probably be paired with Kermit
002 and 005, bringing the total known weight of
this H4 up to 133.2 grams. There
is a large dune complex near Kermit, Texas with
many "blowouts" between these
dunes. In this area an extensive search was
conducted by my meteorite recovery
team ...which consisted of my wife Wren and I,
along with several other friends.
We found a total of five complete little stones and
called them Kermit 001-005.
These stones represent two differant falls. All of
the stones were found in
one large and deep ...very deep .. dune
blowout. This area covered several
hundred square yards in size. Dr. Gary Huss
has concluded that these five
stones represent two different falls. Three
of the stones represent an identical
H4 and two of the stones represent an
identical H5. Pretty Cool! We have
conducted several more searches in this area, but
have yet to recover any more
specimens. I am offering ONLY Kermit
001 for sale at the moment. Very
little of this material will be made
available. What you see is what there is!
Kermit 001............ 2.36 gram part
slice............ $70.00
Kermit 001............ 1.69 gram part
slice............ $50.00
Kermit 001............ 1.60 gram part
