Hi Steve, list

 

“price of $12,500 is a deal indeed.  Even a 127 lb Sikhote Alin at that price is a steal”

 

So I recommend to take Michel Franco’s Sikhotes,  one is even cheaper and the other one a larger one relatively tooo.

And the have all paperwork.

 

Regards!

Martin

Mark,

The "reason I keep bringing it up" is because you had issued a warning to the list that this might be a "meteorwrong" after you went out and saw the piece.  You did not state your reasons clearly regarding your observations of this specimen.

It sure looks like a meteorite to me, and in fact it looks like Sikhote Alin.  That was my observation of it based on the photos that the seller provided.  Now, if it is a new fall and in fact a meteorite (iron) then the sale price of $12,500 is a deal indeed.  Even a 127 lb Sikhote Alin at that price is a steal.

As for cutting this specimen to make a determination, that is no big deal.  If is an iron, a simple piece of about 20 grams etched will satisfy the question that you raised to the list.  "meteorite or meteorwrong"

As for its origin or site origin that would take other tests, and that is no big deal either.  UCLA I am sure would do that determination.
