[meteorite-list] Need to sell some meteorites
The need has come for me to try to sell some of my meteorites quickly. Most of you don't know this about me, but for several years since my mother died, I've been the live-in 24 hour caregiver for my elderly (recently turned 90) grandmother-- I've obvously not been working outside the home for all this time, and my grandmother and I lived off my 401k money, my mother's 401k money, and my mother's life insurance money until that was all used, and since then on her social security money only. On yesterday the 24th my grandmother took a major turn for the worse and is in the hospital with not likely long to live. Which brings me to my need to sell a few meteorites-- I need some cash to tide me over until I manage to start working again. I don't have many valuable or rare ones, but these three are ones I thought somone might be interested in, if anyone would like to make an offer: Potter Nebraska 22g (personally collected by Dirk Ross) featured on Rocks from Space http://www.spacerocksinc.com/January_27.html 2 fragments of Weston, Connecticut in a membrane box, totaling .194g (from the Dirk Ross collection) An 18-gram part-slice of NWA 987- specimen and many of it's chondrules seen here: http://webpages.charter.net/garrison6328/987/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Lump of Coal?
That's funny! I actually thought of something similar the other day "If a true rock hound got a lump of coal in his/her stocking, he/she might appreciate it as a meaningful gift:-)" Merry Christmas to all.
