Actually there is an H5 impact melt from Burkina Faso. It hasn't completely
determined yet if it is part of the Gao fall or a separate fall. I have
been selling it under the temporary name of Gao (b) while awaiting the
results of CRE analysis.
I think that Blaine's price of $12/gm for Smyer is a great price and
recommend it to anybody who has anything left after Park Forest.
Funny you should mention that one.
I got a piece too. In fact I had 2 but I have one left. It is a very nice part-end piece with crust and very clear melt areas. A very odd looking meteorite, very different.
