[meteorite-list] Re: Neuschwanstein<--First Find Photo and SALE

[E. L. Jones]

Not many list members were aware, but my son and I were on the scene in 
April hunting for this meteorite.  While the first suspected finds were 
actually bitumen/ asphalt --(any expert should be able to distinguish 
asphalt from a real meteorite,Duh!) and the discussion drug on and on on 
in the list,  we quietly sequestered away the main mass and fragments 
and am offering list members first selection now that the classification 
has been completed. Virtually every piece is fully crusted.  It was a 
miracle I was able to get it back through customs.

We are only reporting this now that the 18 month  limitation to resend 
a contract have fully expired. The farmer who owned the land seemed 
bemused that we would offer to by it from him  but he happily took our 
euros, but he hadn't heard about the meteorite. I guess he was happy to 
have it moved out of his way.  I felt a little guilty not telling him 
the whole story.

I've embargoed this photo long enough.  It is the main mass /in situ/ 
however the coordinates are being withheld pending another recovery 
attempt. < http://www.epix.net/~jonee/neu1strewn.jpg>

After the first of the year, we will be offering some of this find 
starting at $255  per gram and up,  depending on cutting losses and 
shrinkage.  Please let me know what size you are interested in and we'll 
try to cut to order.
