Hey Mike,
Three more good ones! I think the "Condrite" was pretty clever as there are
plenty of con artists out there!
Don't forget Norbert is a self proclaimed "Lunatic" (a good thing!) :-)

I couldn't resist, so here are a few more -
Meteorblight - when a meteorite causes reports of sickness, like Carancas.
Condrite - a misrepresented meteorite sold by an unscrupulous dealer.
Loonar - a bogus lunaite offered by some nut who is convinced it is a
real lunar. A recent example is that guy who bombards list members
with hundreds of photo attachments of his loonars.

Hi all,
I was hoping to not get involved in this, but Greg's just gave me the
idea
for this clever one (I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet):
Hemaroid - The horrible feeling, very low in your gut, that you get when
you
find out that your meteorite is really a hematite meteor-wrong.
Ok, no more from me. :-)

Asteroid = An itching to collect and hunt meteorites.
Meteoroid = Similar to above, butt smaller. Sometimes a visit to the
doctor
is required!

I'll add two more
Mete-awe - The feeling wen you walk into a museum with a spectacular
meteorite display. That same feeling occurs when you walk into the
various
meteorite dealer's rooms in Tucson!
Mete-Awe Right! - The exultation you feel when the specimen you've long
searched out is found and added to your collection.
