Thanks Ed,
Stonehenge was selected as an icon because it is a well-known ancient
observatory where both the Lunar and Maritain cycles were witnessed
among other celestial bodies. As a matter of fact, the table stone in
the center of Stonehenge is used to track the Moon.
I have had outside interest in mass producing a similar series but this
simply isn't possible. There is no automated way of depositing the
aliquot in the sample bay due to variability so this was done manually,
a very time consuming process. Also, the scarcity of planetary material
available to such a project would not allow for mass production. I
priced all of the cards the same although my costs exceeded that of
production in a few cases. The Artwork alone added a considerable amount
to my costs. The nice thing is that I got a new logo out of the deal.
I only produced 50 of each to see what happens. In all honesty, any
revenue generated by this project will come no where near close to
offsetting the costs of cutting loses. I just thought it would be a fun
project and a good way to distribute small fragments/cutting dust in a
presentable package. It took me over 5 years to collect sterile cutting
dust or small fragments from 12 different planetary meteorites. It is
the least expensive way for many to actually own a piece of the Moon or
Mars, assemble an SNC set or own a piece of both the Highlands and Mare
regions of the Moon plus I think they are cool!
Take Care,
Adam
