Hi Listers! While I started out with irons, naturally my curiousity
grabbed me because hold a specimen in hand and under the scope is so much
more of a learning experience. So, I trended toward CV3s, then CRs
(SaH00182 and NWA801) facinated by armoured chondrules....now have landed on
achondrites as the most fun, LODs and eucrites. Throughout it all though,
I've favored pieces that stand up on their own, some defying gravity in the
display case!

Greg S. - you're on the same wavelength as me in regards to meteorite
preferences! Although I'm also very fond of carbonaceous chondrites (of
which my favorites are the more exotic primitive types: i.e. Tagish Lake
and
Murchison, etc), and out of ordinary chondrites - Ls, LLs, breccias, and
the more exotic lesser known types.
I want to become a "type" collector.

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.

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. Just
have a couple to show people and sxplain the broad range of meteorites.
Chondrites of all shorts (especially W0 unequilibrated) and HEDs. I too
love Dho 007
Cheers!

Well, being far too scatterbrained to choose only one type, I have many
interests. I love carbonaceous chondrites, and among them CM and CVs in
particular (I love the smell of Murchison in the morning ;^)
For achondrites, I collect HEDs a lot, and love brecciated cumulate
eucrites like Dho 007.
WIth respect to ordinary chondrites, I love any unequilibrated stone,
and type 3s of any classification float my boat.
Oh, and last but not least, I love big, regmaglyped complete irons of
all kinds. There is something about a large iron meteorite that captures
the attention and imagination of most people.

This brings up another idea for a thread:
What class or type of meteorite to you collect the most and are most
interested it?
I myself like rare ungrouped achondrites and my favorite is the
Angrites.
