[meteorite-list] Cutting space rocks in CA
In anticipation of blowing the dust off my lapidary saw to cut a few meteorites (it's been years since I last used it), I knew I would need to pick up some more denatured alcohol. So I popped into Home Depot, and to my surprise (or maybe not, in retrospect) they no longer sell it in CA because it's apparently been banned in this state. A little research suggests it was banned in CA a few years ago (probably for completely ridiculous reasons). So the question: what liquid do you Californians (and Canadians) now use to cut your meteorites? Isopropyl is still legal, so I suppose I could go that route. I'm pretty sure camp stove fuel is just ethanol (with a bitterant added) -- perhaps that can still be purchased in CA? --Rob __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 261, Issue 15
I am sending this again as I realized I only replied to you and not the list as well. This turns out good for me because it offers a chance to better compose my thoughts. I was running errands when I sent the first email. To begin again: Jason, I see what you are saying, and it is a reasonable point but I disagree. These are the reasons: 1. I can elaborate that "since you never contacted me" means I would have been happy to provide assistance and the name if the vendor would have done so with some images of supporting information such as sourcing from the same finder. 2. There is a clear difference between multi ton finds that have ample documentation and a kilo find that has had little publicity. Even then I agree that best practices are to communicate leading me to 3. Point out that you were part of one of my conversations about this in regard to the likely Jikharra specimen you are referencing. You stated that "The Jikharra’s obviously that." You are also well aware that I am not selling any of the obviously Jikharra until my own classification is approved because you were part of the discussion. 4. You don't actually know where I sourced my material because you did not ask. For example the metbul mentioned many kilograms traded as Ghadamis that was not in Marcin's possession. Since I bought and traded Ghadamis before the name HaH 346 was approved, how do you think I should have handled the situation differently? 5. In regards to nwa 869 the following quote is from the metbul "At least 2 metric tons of material comprising thousands of individuals has been sold under the name NWA 869 in the market places of Morocco and around the world." along with the appropriate caveats due to its abundance- "Scientists are advised to confirm the classification of any specimens they obtain before publishing results under this name." So again I do not feel you are making an apples to apples comparison with your critique of my logic. We all obviously respect your encyclopedic understanding of meteorites so perhaps you can share with us your framework for best practices in these situations.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 261, Issue 15
Hello Jason, To be consistent, you should remove the HaH 346 and NWA 869 specimens you have listed for sale on your website. Those classifications were submitted by other dealers; your stones are unclassified individuals from DCAs with no evidence of their find locations, etc. On your "featured" page, you also have a specimen listed as a "likely Jakharra 001 Pairing." Similar issues aside, relying on that standard, it should be okay for Benzaki Mohamed to call his specimens "likely NWA 15758 pairings."
