"Also, for clarification, my Bizmuth description should be "Man-grown
Element"
Ho Greg, It is very cool material;
or even better:
"Synthetically-grown Bismuth crystals."
They are very really exquisite, beautiful crystals. You can buy
bismuth (lead-free) fishing weights in Walmart/Carrefour and melt them
in aluminum cups on the kitchen stove.
Like magic as soon as the heat is turned off these types of cool
crystals start to form. Bismuth has a number of humorous uses,
starting with its chemical symbol, and being the butt of bar-room
jokes, and even then for the day after (Pepto-Bismol). Your crystals
seem to have nice color though, which means someone did a real good job
(it's hard to get a rainbow to reflect from them). They would make
excellent pendants for jewelry, especially since they should be lead
free and are safe, unlike nickel to which some people are allergic.
But we've really deviated, that is one heck of a beautiful offering of
meteorites! Deserves a second and third look.
Kindest wishes
Doug

Hi Mike,

I suppose I can be a little square at times, but that is why I like to
liven
up my sales a bit! ;-)
Also, for clarification, my Bizmuth description should be, "Man-grown
Element" (Thanks, Rex for the correction!).
Best Regards,
Greg

Hello All,
I have collected many different meteorites and other items over the
years
either in a calculated or spur of the moment manner. Going into the
holiday
season, I dove into the boxes, bins and all corners of the house to
pick
out
a random selection of rarities, goodies and one ugly to offer in my
latest
compulsive sale for:
Only
Collectors &
Dealers... (and scientists too!)
In no particular order, you will find everything from Planetary, to
Hammer
Stones, to an ugly H4, to a beautiful pallasite and everything in
between
including some pretty cool minerals towards the bottom of the listing
below.
You will find that most do not have prices so I encourage you to make
offers. I am here to consider all offers, many of which I may
surprise you
and accept on the spot, others I may have to wait a few days so I can
consider multiple offers on some of the more pricy items. If
interested,
please email me off-list. This will be a pretty long listing, but
there
are
wonderful things to discover from top to bottom! Thank you for
considering
these!
