[meteorite-list] Most Unique CAI
Dear HUGE CAI Enthusiasts, I was reminded by Jeff Kuyken that I had offered a couple of NWA 3118 CV3 specimens a couple years ago with massive CAI's popping out of them. While I do not remember at the moment who the lucky collectors were who acquired these, I do have the photos of these remarkable specimens. Here are links to the photos with several views each: The Donut (with sprinkles!). The most unique CAI in the World! http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa3118/nwa3118a.jpg Large Encased CAI http://www.lunarrock.com/nwa3118/nwa3118b.jpg If the people who has these would like to chime in with the measurements, that would be cool!

Re: [meteorite-list] Wanted to Buy : Superb Pallasite!
I have a small slice of Quijingue, acquired from Anne via Dave Harris. As with many pallasites, it depends where the slice came from in the body, how it was prepared, etc. Despite my seaside location, after 3 years in my collection, the only damage to the slice is a corner knocked off where I accidentally dropped it once. No rust, and better than 50% amber translucent olivine crystals. Don't rule out any particular pallasite because of a bad rep, but do exercise due diligence, look for someone who can supply well-prepared pieces from fall specimens known not to have issues after cutting, etc. It wasn't so long ago that no one would touch Brahin for more than a fraction of the usual value of a pallasite because it had a terrible rep as a ruster. Then less decayed pieces became available, and with better cutting and preservation techniques, now anyone can have a slice that doesn't shower rust and olivine like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree sheds needles.

[meteorite-list] Subject: Re: Wanted to Buy : Superb Pallasite!
I currently house 46 unique pallasites in my collection. And am experienced with electrolytic derusting techniques. I must disagree with Tracy and Anne. I agree with Mike Farmer. If one has to pick only one pallasite to buy for their collection and wants to guarantee long lasting beauty one has to go with Esquel . I have over 1.5Kg of Quijingue and it certainly is more prone to rust. It is certainly more stable than some but why take even a chance if one is on a budget and Esquel exists. If you have only one bullet in your gun I would give Bob Haag a call and customize a slice at the best price amigos. I think we need to give better advice to newbies rather than continually try and market what is on our sales list.

Hi list, Has every one noticed that Martin Horejsi is back this month in Meteorite Times? http://www.meteorite-times.com/meteorite_frame.htm Martin has written articles we all have enjoyed for years. He was a standard in Meteorite Magazine. It seams he has changed states from Idaho to Montana and changed Universities as well. This months article is on the biggest CAI I have ever seen or (heard about) and with the recent discovery of the asteroids high in CA, what great timing. Check it out!!!

Re: [meteorite-list] Chiang Khan differences of opinion
Hi Dave all, Regarding your post below My information regarding TKW of the Chiang-Khan fall is from The primary finder and author of the web page cited by Martin Altmann: http://www.meteorite-oliver.com/About_Chiang_Khan/about_chiang_khan.html Of particular interest is the comment therein: Nobody was able anymore to give precise indications as to the exact date of the event. Some 20 years ago it was, so they say, in the month of November, without doubt - that's what I was told in the villages of the strewn field. Whatever it was that happened then - one is led to presume a second meteorite fall on the same day or on the day after. According to recent research (isotope analysis), the two large specimens, which are in private Collection and in Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, do not originate from the Chiang-Khan fall. They are believed to have been transported into Thailand from Laos. Two small pieces from Thailand were analyzed, one is H4 tending to H5; one was determined to be H5 in Japan, whereas the large pieces are H6. Most of all, the noble gas contents of the large specimens differ extremely from those of the Chiang-Khan pieces!

That said, it was marketed as representing something approaching 5% of the recovered material from that fall (which, again, is officially recorded as 367 grams when we know that there is one stone of almost twice that size and speculation on the list is that the TKW is actually likely to be near 7 kilograms). We had some banter about the finer points of orientation a couple of weeks ago and how that has an impact in the marketplace, and it seems to me that this is at least as large an issue. And, forgetting the market altogether, shouldn't there perhaps be a more focused effort to get the record straight for the benefit of history? I'm probably missing something out of ignorance here...

Re: [meteorite-list] Chiang Khan differences of opinion
In fact, there is also an inconsistency in the last Catalogue of Meteorites itself. In the header of the entry the tkw of Chiang Khan is listed as 367g but in the distribution of the specimens in the same entry are listed pieces in a total weight of 3279grams. (Largest amount at UCLA with 2588.4g there, and the piece of 800g in the University of Bangkok isn't mentioned). So together with the Ex-Haag-piece and Oliver's finds - he's moving at the moment, will ask him as soon as he has an Internet access again, how many grams in total - we have at least 6kg. Best!

Re: [meteorite-list] Chiang Khan differences of opinion
Michael List, My anonymous reference to you as a dealer was to protect you from any perception of shenanigans on your part, though by no means did I ever have that perception myself (again, the research was and is as much the responsibility of the buyer as it is of the seller, and the information circulating as a result of the TKW question and the Chiang-Khan example have been well worth the trade in and of themselves). This was just one of a couple of examples I threw out to get a topic in circulation, and Jeff gave a more than adequate answer to the question. It seems that there's a certain responsibility on just about everyone involved to properly record the outcome of these events and that the science side is willing to do whatever they need to, within reason, to get the record straight so to speak (symbiotic, as it should be). Even the uncertain stories in the world of meteorites are part of the fun and mystique...
