Re: [meteorite-list] AD: Large Full Slice of NWA 5549 silicated iron
I can't answer your question but I must say that fall would make a great sphere for my collection :) ___ Jack Schrader schraderj at rocketmail.com Sat Mar 28 15:12:16 EDT 2009 Previous message: [meteorite-list] Sellers of fake meteorites - Ryderdude760 Next message: [meteorite-list] test - delete me Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Dear list members, I have relisted the 161.9 gram slice of NWA 5549 (provisional) Algerian silicated iron and I have drastically reduced the starting bid to the rock bottom price $3 a gram which is a steal for a professionally prepared specimen of this truly beautiful silicated iron. For anyone interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=160324560375 I received an educational bit of information ( for me as I was not aware of this fact previously) regarding the silicate inclusions in this as well as all iron meteorites from the lab doing the classification work on this iron and I have simply copied the info from the email I received here: Basically all silicate inclusions in iron meteorites would be considered Winonites if they weren't imbedded in iron. I guess basically all winonites are are very melted chondrites. However, a winonite is a classification separate to silicated iron. If the winonite is mixed with iron we call it silicated iron, if separate from the iron, winonite. So they are basically the same. But you can't call a silicated iron a winonite iron. Historically they have always been classed separately. What makes winonites rare is that they rarely fall separate from iron. Is this information generally agreed upon?

[meteorite-list] My Annual Meteorite Sphere Collection Update
I am very proud to report that I was able to add 8 spheres to my collection this year :) When I started this collection in May of 2006 I never dreamed I would own many of the specimens I have. I could have collected slices or end cuts which is what most people focus on but I decided to collect spheres, more specifically, 50mm spheres. At first, this condition seem to make it very difficult to add new specimens to my shelf. Now, here it is 2 years later and I have most of the specimens I never thought I would have such as the Brahin, Toluca, Dronino, Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule and the Libyan Glass. Plus I have many specimens I never even considered such as the NWA 791, Nininger Brick and Uruacu. I realize that I was extremely fortunate this year but I don't have high expectations for the coming year, I think I'll be lucky to add 2-3 new spheres to my collection. You can check out my collection at: http://home.ec.rr.com/bobadebt/50mil.htm Here is a picture of the whole collection http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Spheres/Collection08May.jpg TOP ROW - Seymchan / Campo / Gibeon / Brahin / Toluca / Uruacu / Dronino CENTER ROW - NWA 2828 / NWA 869 / NWA 791 / Dinosaur Bone / Gao / Dhofar 1289 BOTTOM ROW - Libyan Glass / Guang Dong Tektite / Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodule / Black Onaping / Nininger Museum Wall Brick __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Web Site Update A Big Thank You
Thank you very much for the kind words I know some of you may not like my collection, but you have to admit it is shaping up to be very unique. When I started this collection in May of 2006 I never dreamed I would get many of the specimens I have such as the Brahin, the Graphite Nodule and the Libyan Glass. It wasn't a matter of money, I knew if I really wanted something I could save up enough, I just doubted that I could find material large enough to produce 50mm spheres. Now, here it is 2 years later and I have most of the specimens I never thought I would have. The only one left on my original list is a Sikhote Alin but I know it will be along time before I can afford to add that one to the shelf. I'm extremely excited about what the next year will bring but I don't have high expectations, I think I'll be lucky to add 2-3 new spheres to my collection. I'm looking hard for an L-5 (preferably a Ghubrua) , an H-4 and H-6, and a Zag (H3-H6). If anyone has some material they think would make a nice sphere contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com and we can discuss the options.

Thiel Mountains is out there, but expect to pay $300-400/g for it. Lazarev was a Rob Elliot exclusive and will probably never be available again unless a collector sells their own.

[meteorite-list] What to do with a Block of Pallasovka Pallasite?
I'm trying to decide the best way to process a block of Pallasovka Pallasite that Serge sent me. Originally I was going to cut it into slices for him but my saw doesn't do so well cutting pallasite material into thin slices Currently, it is a non symmetrical cube with an average width of 2.125 and it weighs 820 grams. It has a single polished face which looks awesome. I could sell it as is for $1400 shipped or I could polish all six sides and sell it for $1500 But I thought it might be cool to cut it into a perfect cube, however if I did that I would lose weight and the price would go up. I could also turn it into a 2 sphere but then it would weigh even less and cost even more. There are so many possibilities so I figured I should just post a message here to see if anyone is interested in this and if so how would you want it? Please post a reply if you have any ideas or if you're interested in it contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com with an offer.

Re: [meteorite-list] What doesn't this list use an online forum format?
I know you said most may not see my reasons as valid but this went to the entire list so I would like an opportunity to address each of your issues for the benefit of the other members that may not be familiar with how forums work. --- #1 - most require a sign in identity AND a password (I can hardly keep track Of all the passwords and sign ins I have already). For instance, I refuse to have anything to do with Yahoo because of their obsession with signing in, passwords, etc. The Met List required you to create a password when you signed up. There has to be a cookie somewhere on your computer that identifies you when you send an email to the list otherwise anyone could send emails to the list without subscribing. When you sign up for most forums you can elect that it bypass the sign in procedure every time you visit which will put a cookie on your computer. Yahoo does require you to sign in frequently but most other forums don't. --- #2 In some forums people do not identify themselves, but instead have a handle or forum nickname. I don't care to communicate with people whom I cannot identify. The Met List allows people to do the same thing. On this list you see my email which is bobadebt at ec.rr.com, my real name is David Deyarmin. Several other members use email addresses that are not connected to their real identity. HOWEVER, a forum admin can make it mandatory that you have your real identity attached to your profile. An added benift of a forum is that you can use avatars (small pictures) to represent yourself in each post. I'm sure most people would use a real picture. The Admin can actually require that a member either uses a real image or none at all. Being new to the community I would love to see who I'm talking to when I read this list. --- #3 Forums are always live - right now, for instance, it is 5:43 AM and I Am writing the list. People will read it when they are ready, when they are Not at work, or eating dinner with their wife or watching TV or the like. I doubt any forum has anyone on at this time. Of all your reasons I find this one the most confusing. You do not have to use a forum in real time. A forum can be accessed by any member at their convenience. I think your talking about chat rooms. --- #4 People can pretend they are ME and say horrid things in such a format. (There was a Meteorite Blog that started about a year ago - I dropped out within 20 minutes for this reason and the general filth of the place). People can do the same thing at the met list I could create a yahoo email account that was mblood at yahoo.com and make it appear as Michael Blood when I send emails. I could subscribe to the list and pretend to be you. Forums are actually have more security protocols available designed to prevent this very issue. --- This is from your other post to the list The greatest problem I have with the list is people send Me private emails with the list in the subject box: Since I sometimes Don't read all the posts or sometimes take days to read them all, This means some private posts never reach me. We would all do well to NEVER send a private post with [meteorite-list] in the subject box - unless it is preceded with OFF LIST All forums have a Private Message System which allows any member the opportunity to send a message to a single person. Members have the option to disable this feature if they do not want to receive PMs. Some forums have a Send a member an email option which enable a person to email a member without that member having to make their email address public. --- I hope this helps clear up a few of the concerns that you have. Art has already said he's implementing code that will allow users to use this list as an Email List or a Forum so hopefully it will please satisfy all the members that use this venue to communicate with the meteorite community. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Why doesn't this list use an onlineforum format?
If you like the Dailey Digest format most forums allow you to receive the new post in the same format. A few other features that make forum easy to use are: Email notification when someone responds to a post you make The ability to subscribe to a post so you can more easily find it The ability to search the forum for posts about specific topics The ability to put a member on you IGNORE LIST which is a feature I'm sure some of us would really appreciate. Helo Anne and Norbert; I agree with your summation of this matter wholeheartedly.Especially Norberts description of the friendly laid back atmosphere.I also look forward to reading the digest i receive every day.And i really appreciate all the posts by all the members,no matter what it is about.By the way, i also use the delete key a lot,freedom of choice,i think.

[meteorite-list] What doesn't this list use an online
Please explain the following: 1. The meteorite list is a time-honoured institution. It's only been around for 11 years. What did you use before the list? 2.We love the old-fashion style Who is we? Are you speaking for the entire membership? 3. A forum offers a lot of more knickknack. It's more laboriously to use, How is a forum had to use 4. unclear, the threads are more difficult to follow How is unclear and how could a thread with every reply in chronological order be difficult to follow? 5. and it would cause much more work for poor Art. Why would it cause more work for Art? 6. The conversation there would be less formal, hence a lot of not so interesting stuff to read ect. Again, why would it be less formal, not that this list is formal by any stretch 7. you had to fight through hundreds of pictures, which might not interest you In all my years I have never read a thread that had hundreds of images. However wouldn't it be nice to be able to see a picture that someone wanted to post instead of having to click on a URL which has been interrupted and split into to 2 lines, so you have to go back and cut and paste each part into the address bar. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] What doesn't this list use an online forum format?
I'm not trying to stir up trouble or incite arguments I'm just curious. Email lists are by today's standard an antiquated venue for discussing any hobby. They have many limitations and can be taxing on your email inbox, which is why I receive the Dailey Digest. I delete them and do all of my reading from the archives. Online forums are easier to use and the posted info is easier to track. Plus it's easy to ignore topics that you're not interested in without having to pick through a bunch of emails. However, I would like to understand why so many of the members here prefer not to use forums. I want to make it clear that I'm not trying stir up trouble, I'm just trying to understand the aversion most of this list has to using a forum. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

As some of you may you I only collect Meteorite Spheres. Most people seem to appreciate my collection but I've run across a few people that have demonstrated utter disdain about how I choose to collect. Personally I think that it's up to each individual to collect in a way that works for them. I have no problem with someone not liking my collection but there's a point when subjective criticism become rude and obnoxious behavior. IMO, Matteo's comments about this cube tend to be more toward the rude end of the spectrum. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Question about my 2kg Uruacu Ad
I originally offered this piece to the list at what I thought was a good price of $850 When it didn't sell I dropped the priceto $750. It still didn't sell, so last night I dropped the price again to $600. At first I contributed the lack of interest to the timing, with Christmas almost here. Then I received an email asking about the shipping and now I believe a poorly worded line in my Ads may have confused some people and may be the reason no one was interested These lines appeared in their respective Ads and are very poorly written __ I'm asking $850 plus shipping which is 40 cents per gram. I'm asking $750 plus shipping which is 36 cents per gram. I'm asking $600 plus shipping which is 36 cents per gram. __ PLEASE LET ME KNOW If you read my Ad and thought the shipping cost 40/36/36 cents per gram That was not what my intention was. The first line was supposed to read I'm asking $850 with shipping included which is 40 cents per gram. But I changed the way I worded it and missed fixing some parts and that is how the email went to the list. The in subsequent emails I just change the pertinent info and re-sent it. I AM EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED ABOUT THIS I'M VERY SORRY FOR THIS MISTAKE In all fairness to the Don, who is the person I'm selling this for, I feel obligated to do my best for him so I'm going to accept offers on this piece for the next 2 days. The minimum offer I'll accept is $600 and if anyone offers me $850 I will consider it sold.

[meteorite-list] cut big campo
First you have to ask yourself why you're cutting it and how you want it cut. Are you cutting it for resell? If so do you want full slices ? Do you want huge end cuts or all slices with minimal end cuts. Do you want to slab it, then process the slabs into slices and end cuts? This is just a few of the questions a cutter would have ask before taking the job. Contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com with your phone number and I could call you to discuss this in more depth. BUT if your just talking about the available ways to cut it I can think of 3. The most conventional way is to use a band saw but for one this size you would need a large band saw and it would be a long process and at machine shop rates it would cost a fortune, so it could be cost prohibitive. The only way this method would be affordable was if there was someone like me willing to do the work for a reduced fee and/or some material If it's not to tall I could cut it on my liquid cooled abrasive saw but it would be very work intensive which would end up costing a lot so this method could be cost prohibitive unless I'm interested in the material. I'm not sure if it could be cut with a wire saw but if it could it would be cost prohibitive. If its really big you could use a combination of the first 2 methods. Use a machine shop to cut it into 3 pieces (with a band saw) that are easier to handle and then I could process each piece but I would have to be interested in the material to do the work. __ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Cutting meteorites with CBN blade
I cut my irons with an MK-100 Brick Paver saw using .030 abrasive blades. Not only are the blades super cheap, they also produce a very smooth cut surface. It takes longer to cut each slice but it saves material and I don't have to sand out the deep band saw marks --- I found these blades to be real junk and found absolutely no advantage to using them especially for the higher price. Irons always seem to be best cut with a band saw by an experienced technician. Why cut a Nantan? You are asking for troublethat sucker will likely rust in front of your eyes!!

I purchased a 10-inch Pro-Slicer (10 x 0.012) CBN blade from Lapidary Discounts in California and used it to cut a 2 1/2 inch Nantan. It worked very well for the first 10 cuts, then, very quuckly, started to bind up indicating that the CBN was gone from the blade. For the cost I expected to get much longer life from it. Any opinions on what kind of a life one can expect from such a blade. Altogether I cut about 22 linear inches before the blade was useless. I think I followed good cutting practices, using pella oil for lubrication, and feeding at a rate of about 1 inch every 5 minutes (0.2 inch per minute). Motor speed was 1750 rpm. Any ideas?

[meteorite-list] I need Schooled on Canyon Diablo Graphite Nodules
I'm preparing an auction description for the remaining Canyon Diablo slices and end cuts I have for sale But to be perfectly honest I don't really know that much about them, except what I have been told but I need more solid info I tried the net but it's a odd subject and not much can be easily found. I am looking for answers to the following questions: 1. Do all iron meteorites contain Graphite Nodules? 2. If so, has anyone found nodules from other iron meteorites and/or made them available to collectors? 3. Are the nodules from the Canyon Diablo meteorite the largest available? 4. If so, why is that, what made the Canyon Diablo meteorite so special? The answers to these questions will probably create more questions so if you're very knowledgeable about these please contact me off list at bobadebt at ec.rr.com If possible, I would like to call you to discuss the subject but email will work too.
