Dear list, we’d like to point you to an exceptional L3 meteorite currently offered on ebay. The massive 611gm slice of the highly unequilibrated Santa Vitoria do Palmar meteorite is among the largest ever cut from the only mass that was available to collectors.
This Brazilian beauty is composed of clouds of high definition chondrules of every size and pattern you may think of. The photos are not able to bring out the beauty of this slab, the surface is to smooth to allow the lense to focus, this meteorite must be seen in nature. Santa Vitoria has a separate entry in Meteoritical Bulletin no. 91, 2007. Only a hand full of collectors and museums own small samples of this material that sold for 6 USD/gm and above. The story of its discovery is well documented and can be read here: http://www.niger-meteorite-recon.de/en/Santa-Vitoria-meteorite-1.htm It is our last slice apart from our collection piece, still below 50 Cents/gm, someone will take home a museum grade piece for a fraction of its catalog price. The meteorite will come with a CD that contains the entry in the bulletin as well as a number of thin slide photographies. Feel free to check out the ebay offer for your leisure. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwerffroenne Thanks for your interest Svend -- www.niger-meteorite-recon.de ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
