[meteorite-list] Happy New Year
Top all those concerned, If you arent concerned please delete. Iam in no way trying to start any arguments on this list. But these people are way out of line. Phil Whitmer wrote on 12/30/08 : A respected and important member of the meteorite community checked out the provenance of the last offerings on eBay by Bob Evans and they turned out to be shady to say the least. It looks like Bob Evans was selling stones with fake Monnig provenance according to his own source. You people had better get your facts straight. I haven't sold anything that came from Monnig in years. I think some of you people don't even know what my ebay account is.

Well, After taking off several months of Dealing meteorites, I can stay away no longer. I have some very nice offerings available over the next few weeks. I was fortunate enough to purchase another small collection of meteorites with some very unique meteorites ( some I never heard of ). Most of these have Monnig and AML Cards accompanying the specimens. So you will not need to ask me where or who I got them from ( you will NOT get an answer ) I keep my methods of acquisitions and contacts confidential. Here is a partial list : Mckinney Texas La Lande N.M. Plainview Ness Co. Kansas Sandia Mountains N.M. Ladder Creek Adrian Texas Romero Texas Morland Kansas Noreatur Kansas Some of these meteorites have an appointment with my saw. I am offering these meteorites to a preferred list of collectors. If you are interested in any of these please email me letting me know which ones that you are interested in. I will be offering these to you first. A copy of each corresponding collection card will be included with each purchase. It will take me a couple of weeks to get the meteorites processed but I wanted to give you a heads up. I have also just received two new beautiful type 3 chondrites. I got a great deal on these and I will be selling them far less than $15 / gram They will be submitted for classification. Also be on the lookout for a large slice of Zagami and more that enough Juvinas to put a huge smile on your face.

Hey Mike, Thanks for causing alot of problems for me. Did it ever occur to you that I wasnt willing to give you my sources name because I was in the process of trying to obtain more meteorites, and I didnt need to compete with everybody else, including you ? Why dont you try asking Mike Farmer or the Hupes for the Moroccan names and phone #s. Good luck. Everything I ever sold you was up front nothing to hide. Now you come along with this. Why dont you send it to an accredited lab and see what they have to say instead of attacking me. Thats also pretty lame of you seeing as I told you that Im dealing with a parent who is in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs and I would deal with you later. Just so everyone should know. I have asked atleast one other dealer ( who sells many rare items on ebay ) for information on their supplier or provenance to just have my numerous inquiries go unanswered. So, why am I being singled out ? As far as jackass MCcartney Taylor , I gave the idiot planetary and achondrite for his chondrite and the moron sued me.

Mike, You werent the only one accused of scamming. I saw the Kascos on Winslow St. about 6 months ago and she was pissed with me because when I bought some pieces from her when it first fell I was paying her $1 and $2 per gram. At that point nobody had any idea how much there was or how valuable PF could become. The kick in the butt was that my significant other was upset with me paying $1/ gram. Well thats her regret.

Hello List, I don't believe that this is discussed nearly as much as it should be discussed. I'm primarily a collector , occasionally a dealer and I'm curious where my meteorite investments currently are and where they are headed. I don't sell nearly enough volume or to a large enough market to have a good grasp on the current conditions and future expectations of the meteorite market. I'm curious to hear from the dealers overseas just as well. Is your clientele expanding? exponentially ? How are sales? Supply? Trends ?You get the picture. It would behoove us all that are investing substantial amounts of money to periodically examine the market. BTW- I know Michael Blood does a fine job with his Meteorite Market Trends article, but I would like to get more than his perspective. Any comments ?

I don't understand where the problem is with using water as a coolant. I have been cutting meteorites in water for years with no problems. Just pop the meteorites in an oven ( which I have right next to my saw ) right after they are cut. No Rust. Using alcohol seems like an unnecessary risk. What's the deal with the new fall anyways? Does it require specialized procedures for cutting? Its just a chondrite, right?

I agree with you, Michael. Bill Mason's additive is great. It preserves the metal and rubber seals while allowing the use of distilled water. Alcohol is extremely harsh on a standard lapidary saw. Not only is not the best coolant, it dissolves the grease in the bearings, hardens rubber seals and posses a fire hazard. I see blades spark all the time on a high-speed saws when cutting meteorites. The blade will actually cause the alcohol to vaporize as it froths up the coolant making it even more prone to ignition. Enclose this vapor under a saw hood, add a spark and kaboom! Even Houdini couldn't escape this possibility. I only mention this because I have heard of others using alcohol on a standard saw and don't want to read about burn victims.

Steve, Too bad you are on a SA kick at this point. If you remember that tent at Erichs' hotel that had more pretty Sikhotes than the rest of Tucson. Thats where I obtained the only SA that I bought in Tucson. A nice individual that was just about to be torn apart but stopped just in time to make it one cool looking piece. I'll have to put it on Michael Johnsons pic of the day, someday. To my surprise the same multi kilo oriented sheild SA that I admired at Tucson 07 was still there this year. Same price too.Yep, thats right no price increase. But after dropping plenty of lettuce with Haag that pretty oriented shield SA will just have to wait for me til next year.

Hello List, Well looks like the lucky ones are in Tucson already and the rest of us are stuck at home. 20 degrees and one foot of snow here. I could sure use some AZ sunshine. While the major dealers are busy in Tucson they have no time to put anything exciting on ebay. So, I have a couple of Hammer Specimens up for sale there. I have a fragment that smashed through a roof and a kitchen floor and settled in the basement. Imagine that happening to you? When I met with Phil Jones he entertained me by telling me how his grandchildren thought that a animal had smashed through their roof and kitchen floor and landed in their basement. You see he said The meteorite had fiberglass insulation stuck to it and the children thought that it was some animal when they seen it on the floor in the dark basement Can you imagine that ? Its midnight and something smashes through your roof and lands in your basement. What would you think it was ? A meteorite? not likely. Meeting with Phil was a rewarding and very profitable experience. He sold me all the fragments that he had swept up from the kitchen and the basement. The other hammer that I have up for auction is from a stone that hit a towtruck less than 2 blocks from Winslow St. in Park Forest. I bought the whole stone except for 2 fragments that the owner kept for his grandchildren. This meteorite struck the step and put a dent in the driverside door. If you collect rare meteorites that have hit vehicles this is one that you should have. I have only sold one piece of this and that was in 2006. So only 2 people own any of this meteorite. If you win you will be the third.

Dear List Members, We would like to take this opportunity to announce Northwest Africa 5000. To keep things straightforward, Northwest Africa 5000 is a Massive, Gorgeous and Unique Feldspathic Leucogabbroic Breccia from the Lunar Highlands. We deem that it is the most impressive meteorite ever found but admittedly there may be some biases involved, we will let you be the judge. Its immense presence influenced more than two dozen enthusiasts to become involved with the supervision of this remarkable meteorite. Every aspect of Northwest Africa 5000 has been micromanaged, representing over 1,600 man-hours of passionate labor over the last five months. There is too much to cover in a single post so we will be providing supplementary information in the upcoming weeks. Several new systems including a rating scale has been developed around this Moon rock. We will get more into this later including the scale key. This rating system is extremely rigid, more so than that of widespread diamonds, common in comparison to material from our Moon. Basically, the scale ranges from 0 for typical lunar material (if there is such a thing) all the way up to a nearly unachievable 10 based on 6 points of criteria. The new rating system is so stringent that it is possible for a Lunaite to rate less than 0. We do not have a sales inventory ready at this time as the prepared slices are still being analyzed and independently rated, however we are on track to make a few nice specimens obtainable at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Please consider hanging onto your hard-earned assets until you have experienced Northwest Africa 5000 as we reason you will be of the same mind that it is the all-time best. Your resources will be best invested in a rock that is destined to become legendary. We will post an announcement when the catalog is finished and where it can be seen in person as it is impossible to capture its beauty by way of image. For those of you who will be attending the Tucson show, I will introduce you to two promotional consultants who are also partners on this massive project, young and understand fun!

Re: [meteorite-list] Colbert Report
While obviously being a comedy show. I think that to a certain extent it truly exemplifies the general perception of meteorites by the population as a whole. Majority of them don't really understand the concept of a asteroid being found on the surface of the earth. And while the youth seem genuinely interested and amazed by meteorites I have found that only adults ( some of them ) due to their ignorance criticize and find humor in meteorites.

Hello List, Please take a moment to take a look at the following meteorites for auction that are ending soon. Many are still below market value. All started at 1 cent w/ no reserve. Many of you newbie collectors may want to realize that these types of meteorites will be a wise investment. The value of these meteorites will likely only increase.

So bid high and make one of these meteorites your first 2008 meteorite acquisition. Park Forest Hammer w/ fresh crust Ensishiem Bovedy Zulu Queen Claxton Plymouth Vermillion Happy Canyon Etc.

Re: [meteorite-list] Samples

I ve seen a couple recently that I would love to have in my collection and was willing to pay top dollar until I seen the cut ( even on the backside ) and then the value dropped by 80 % in my eyes.

But since you are apparently discussing an unwitnessed fall from a hot desert a.k.a. for us, dense collecting area (don't know where else to get all those Mars rocks), the best thing to do is to plot the strewn field. In the contemporary world that seems so difficult since we can't even get location information for one stone that has already been through maybe several hands. So I only see two options or combinations between them: 1) Don't buy anything that is not documented. Discourage others supporting this. 2) Buy everything under an agreement of trust from a reputable seller and submit the batch to a scientist and let him/her minimize the guesswork and possibly minor tests if doubts come up. Or in a positive light, to convince the scientist to say the batch is the same material or cull out what is not to arrive at the TKW. If you want to by Mars without any formal classification, in the form of many pebbles, there is no solution except 2), whether you go it alone or spread the risk with partners. Because you would now be representing a rock that has been subjectively field classified. While some people can live with this, others can't. If you can at least get locational information for your specimens, you don't have to give the full 20/20 - or anything for that matter if enough to meet the combined 20/20 is in curation as vouchers for the group after the naming of your material - if a scientist agrees to classify and pair it to an existing classification. This is the motivation of the newer guidelines. Some people get mad about subjective classification, because they broke the ground on the sample and invested, while others are pissed that it is obvious and common sense dictates the material is what it is (arguments like, bought from the same trader, got from the same nomad, found together): with no further support except subjective judgements perceived as strong and well founded. This latter may be true, but that still doesn't remove the reality. Only if the specimens fit together can this be foolproof. Even an expert meteorite hunter scientist can find or purchase a handful of meteorites in the field from a known fall and every once in a while a terrestrial rock can sneak in that has you fooled like a baby. Let me say it has happened to me, and it is a very frustrating and humbling experience. Some time I'll tell the story of a meteorwrong that saw me coming it was a remarkable fraud that would surprise anyone - the best scientists, at their first glance, included. So, the reality is also that unless each rock is carefully studied, nothing can avoid ocassional duds getting mixed in. Not to mention incorrect pairing of similr meteorites. Luckily in the sandy desert this isn't as great a problem as areas with varieties of rocks. How Unsettling, How Disagreeable to the innocent collector and enthusiast, scientist alike- but true. This is rthe dirty laundry of meteorite collecting. Hopefully someone has a better suggestion, but I wouldn't hold my breath unless I were an alchemist capable of ethically transmuting batches of meteorites ;-) There is no free lunch... and no one can make promises for something that hasn't been done. (Or can they?) This whole thing gets sticky, when, you buy meteorites from the literally same batch that another person has already classified. Sure: you may have the same material, but then again, just because the original buyer may not have demanded 100% error proffing during the classification and is selling some stones under the classification
Re: [meteorite-list] Samples
Yes, Tim there are some exceptions. I remember when Mike Farmer sent me an incredible oriented meteorite Roosevelt Co. The Bottom had been cut off and I can say that the piece was still fabulous. It didn't adversely affect the piece. But, like Mike said when someone cuts the thing right in half that's just retarded.

Here I have even 100% complete specimen. Impossible ? I also thinked that this is impossible since whole mass hit the ground and make famous mud hole ever and remaining samples changed into dust clound or 5mm fragments scattered around.

No, I'm not insulting your book, I'm asking you a direct damn question. And you sidestepped them and went off on a unrelated tangent, just like I knew you would and predicted that you would in writing. But I'm not as dumb as the crop circle and alien astronaut and Roswell aliens crowd that have been giving you the interviews and reviews that I've found on the web so far (what's that about birds of a feather?) so I'm not going to be fooled by your asides. Here's the damn questions. Not insults. Questions. Questions that you have the burden of proving, not me the burden of disproving, if you want your science to be taken seriously. Question 1-- By what means do you provide evidence that the creation myths you cite as being historical accounts are indeed accurate historical accounts? Question 2-- By what means do you determine WHICH creation myths are accurate ancient history and which creation myths are just myths, when most creation myths are mutually contradictory with one another? Question 3-By what system do you determine that the stories have been transmitted accurately over 13,000 years by this specific story when no other equally ancient histories exist anywhere else on the Earth? If the answers to those questions are anything other than the fact that they can be interpreted to fit the conclusion that you started with, I would be glad to hear it. Evidence. Not just the assumption that it is accurate. Something that would have any chance at all of standing up in a peer reviewed journal instead of a self-published book that you need to visit websites to push. And I will publicly apologize to you if you provide reasonable evidence to those questions. And here are a couple of new questions-the first-do you REALLY believe in a culture of 7 1/2 foot tall Native Americans, as I found you saying in another of your advertisements for your book that I found while searching for comprehensive reviews? http://www.dailygrail.com/node/3792 As these Native American people were 7 and a half feet tall, all the other peoples remembered them, and remembered their wars with them. These traditions and the CTG's archaeological remains are set out in rock solid detail in Man and Impact in the Americas. And a personal question to satisfy my curiosity-are you a Native American? Because I can't understand another reason for you to be accepting these accounts so uncritically unless they border or religion for you. Oh, one more question-do you have an evidentiary rebuttal to the web sites I pointed out (among many) that most modern scholars reject your reference story, or are you going to continue to ignore it just like other hard questions and continue to whine about insults? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walam_Olum http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/walam/index.htm character and my work: Darren, if you bothered to buy yourself a copy of my book, you would not be making a FOOL of yourself by making unfounded statements. You will never get one penny of my money, and being called a fool by someone who falls for fraudulent fairy tales and 7 1/2 foot tall Indian tribes has no weight with me. If you had stuck with geological evidence for these impacts, I might have taken you seriously. But once your credibility is brought into doubt by things like this. well, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] Bricks from the Nininger Museum
David, Most likely these people have been to the site and grabbed a few bricks. The Museum ruins are protected from trespassers.

Re: [meteorite-list] FW: CALI COLOMBIA HOUSE SMASHER AssortedSizes Prices!
Beautiful, cool meteorite. But Darryl, I don't think you are the only one that thinks $4K/gram is extremely exorbitant for this new meteorite.

I've long thought that Mike Farmer is The Man. What Mike has accomplished and continues to accomplish is amazing; he is without peer. The foregoing notwithstanding, what is it about Cali that makes it worth $4000/g? Is it because it fell in an extremely rough area and there is a couple hundred grams---of one of the stones? Or is it because it went through a roof---even though more than one hundred roofs have been penetrated by cosmic debris? What happens when Mike, and others who emulate Mike, soon acquire another new common chondrite that goes through a roof in a similarly rough neighborhood? Is that worth $4000/g as well? More than 10x the value of some Martian meteorites? And what if it's a lower-class roof in Nogales---what's that worth? (And I don't know if many of you know this, but Peekskill---it's the Wild West up there.) Some of you may recall when the Moon first came out of the Sahara and was selling for $25,000/gram, I suggested on this very list that to pay such a sum would be folly and soon prove insane. Cali has now entered the realm of the lunar-tics.

This will is a good thing for the collecting community and will Make a reasonable number of pieces available to a number of collectors, as I will be offering both Cali #1 and #2 in a similar size range and also at $4,000/g (which is what I had to pay for my first Purchase Of this delightful fall). I will announce when photos are up on my Hammer page later this weekend. With what you are offering and what I am offering there still won't be enough to meet the demand, but at least a few dozen Collectors will be able to get some instead of half a dozen.

Gxx Dxxx- those are butt ugly simply because they're not natural. Mike Farmer. When I read this comment I didn't think Mike posted it for several reasons. 1. He sold me my second sphere and we have had long conversations about which materials would make good spheres 2. If he had posted it he would have left his email address.
