Mike and List: Maybe that's better:
I'm not to big on Irons - only have a few and my first was an Iron. I favor Achondrites, the more exotic the better - I think it's so neat to see crystals in a meteorite. I also think meteorites without metal are really cool. The bigger the crystals - the better. I favor Mars over Lunars. I have three mars and only one lunar. It's such a fasinating hobby, Greg S. ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 12:24:21 -0400 > From: t...@rogers.com > To: fuj...@mac.com > CC: stanleygr...@hotmail.com; meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com; > photoph...@yahoo.com > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] What types of meteorites do you collect? > > Gary, > > From your post it really should be What don't you collect. ;>) > > I guess you may not have too many martian or lunars. > > I collect similar to you except I don't go for too many irons.
