Re: [meteorite-list] Lots of Gold and Meteorites on Heritage Auctions

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list]

What's up with the rust blooms on that endcut of Sericho? You can
clearly see them in the catalog photo. I don't imagine that Heritage
has anybody inspect these pieces before they promote them? It would be
a bit disappointing to buy a major auction house specimen and have it
disintegrate into a pile of shale of olivines later.

Just my two cents. Actual worth may vary.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lots of Gold and Meteorites on Heritage Auctions

[Robert Verish via Meteorite-list]

There is a Eucrite in this auction that may look familiar, and I don't mean 
because it looks like Bierschinken.  It is NWA 7496 -- 
and here is where you have seen it before: 

http://meteorites.wustl.edu/mugshots/nwa_7496_polymict_eucrite.htm 
All photos by Randy L. Korotev 

And it made an appearance in the textbook titled, "Asteroids":  
http://bit.ly/2hvLJuD   -- as well as, here:  http://bit.ly/2ioeRn5 

And here, as well:  http://meteorites.superforum.fr/t6532p25-bonjour-a-tous 

Although this "pin-up girl" of a Eucrite is a numbered NWA, it has published 
GPS coordinates that show it was found in the country of Western Sahara.  

Enjoy,
Bob V.

The photography is stunning.  There are so many items and the images are so 
large, they had to make two separate catalogs:  one catalog for all of the gold 
nuggets, gemstones, and fine minerals -- and in the other, are the many 
meteorites.   

Unlike most of the more recent auctions in which the Lunar and Martian 
specimens are slices, there are some sizeable whole stones of planetary 
material here. 

You may want to add this to your calendar: 

2017 November 4 Nature & Science Signature Auction - Dallas  #5324 
https://fineart.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=5324 

Although it pales in comparison to the hardcopy catalogue, there is an 
online-version for your convenience at this link: 

https://fineart.ha.com/c/ecatalog.zx?saleNo=5324=CatalogHome-AucType-PrintedCatalogViewer-071515
 

I found it to be an educational read.  I hope you find it to be enjoyable.
