Acquittal - Judge Doug! The Saratov was sold long time ago and I don't have any other forsale.
My homepage is many years old, I never found time to renew it (and had not the feeling to do so, as most of my pieces I distribute directely to the collectors from whose I know, that they might interested in). Cheers!

Martin, You may have stumbled upon an opportunity for the bead industry with your shameless ads...when a nanodiamond- or pearl-necklace won't do... Let's see... Since you have that very nice 276g Saratov 1918 witnessed fall slice at $1.70 per gram it might be profitable, especially if someone else is interested in the rest of the grains and micromineral fragments!, A one centimeter in diameter spherical chondrule must weigh very close to 1.67 grams (geek comment: density drops as size increases - a suspicion that the big chondrules are created by a different mechanism than the little ones). I'll give you $3 a gram (Almost double asking price) for some freshly shucked pearly chondrules of diameter 1.00 cm +/- 0.06 cm. For 40 of those chondrules, that would come to 40X1.67X$3= just about US $200. Not shabby at all for such as treasure. Hopefully shucking for chondritic pearls won't becoming viewed as cherry-picking the chondritic cocktail (Saratov Cocktail?). That offer's good until I see a better deal on some menthe or sirops à l’ Springwater:-) http://www.meteorite-martin.de/chondrit_meteorit.html Saludos, Doug ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
