Hi Gary,

I guess I somehow got the two names mixed up. Now that Joel Schiff's name

is mentioned, that seems right

Too many brain cells lost after 73 years sorry folks.

[meteorite-list] Ancient Meteorite Coins

[MICHAEL BLOOD via Meteorite-list]

I now have a website up with info on meteorite coins of ancient Greece and 
Rome. 
Right now it is strictly information. I will add coins for sale over the 
weekend, but for
those just interested in information I do go over the various stones found in 
different
configurations on various coins. It is an abbreviated version of the 
introduction to the
subject in my book. Here you can get it free:

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/coins.html# 
http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/coins.html

Best wishes to all,

Michael Blood


PS: If anyone has some of these coins they want to sell, please contact me at
mlbl...@cox.net mailto:mlbl...@cox.net  with "METEORITE COINS" in the subject 
box thanks

Re: [meteorite-list] Ad: Ancient Meteorite Coins

[MICHAEL BLOOD via Meteorite-list]

After hundreds of hours of research and a comparable number of hours of 
consultation and Photoshop work I am happy to announce the results:

Meteorites & Sacred Stones on Coins of Ancient Greece & Rome 

Now available in both paperback and in Kindlebook formats at:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1082070726

If you get the paperback, you will be given the option during "checkout" to buy 
the Kindlebook at 70% off. (30% of the price). 

Here is the blurb:

Now there is finally a book describing and showing examples of the Meteorite & 
Sacred Stones found on many of the Ancient Greek and Roman Coins. The text is 
arranged to give an overview of the sacred stones and meteorites, their origin 
myths, names and locations followed by an extensive chronological list of 
chapters on Emperors and royalty who's coins show depictions of these various 
meteorites and sacred stones with photo depictions of each along with a 
description of the issuing person, his or her time and nature of influence, 
etc. There is an extensive References list at the end of the book allowing for 
further research on the part of the reader. Never has such a numismatic 
reference been available for the collector of these types of coins. I doubt any 
reader will fail to discover coins of which they were not heretofore aware.

Tim Heitz and I communicated at length many dozens of times throughout this 
process and I suspect Tim has one of the largest collections of these coins in 
the world. Many of the coins (which appear in photos throughout the book) are 
in exceptionally fine to mint condition but more commonly available conditions 
are also pictured. 

I do hope you check it out and if you purchase, I would greatly appreciate your 
taking one or two minutes to leave feedback on the purchase site. Of course, 
every author would love to receive 5 stars, but any and all honest feedback is 
encouraged and very much welcomed.

Thanks,
Michael Blood

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Holes

[MICHAEL BLOOD via Meteorite-list]

Thanks to all who have sent photos. Almost all of them are in good focus with 
solid contrasting background.
(Of course, I can always use MORE . especially some large speciments, but 
any nice holes will be greatly 
appreciated)

I do need Robert Ward to email me at: mlbl...@cox.net

While I downloaded all the photos as they came in, some of the first posts were 
lost when my
email program crashed (I now use email via the net program provided by COX). 
So, please contact
me, Robert, regarding the weight of one of the fine specimen photos you sent 
me. 

Also, any others who want to have their specimen(s) in the book, please email 
me at the above
address with "HOLES" in the subject line so I don't miss it among the throngs 
of crapola adds, etc.

Thanks all,

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites With Holes

[MICHAEL BLOOD via Meteorite-list]

I would like to thank all those who have sent me so many photos of meteorites 
with holes, 
including the following:
Alex, Eidel, Arlene Schiazer, Bern Pauli, Bob Verish, John, Lutzon, John 
Mixter, Kevin Witts, Mike Gilmer, Peter Scherff, Robert Mularczyk, Robert 
Woodard, Roberto Vargas and Sean Murry.

However, alone with my collection, these "only" amount to several dozens and I 
would like to have sever hundred in the book. I know they are out there 
please be aware that your specimen increases in value if featured in a book and 
increases drematically if it makes the cover.

I need all good holes, but especially am laking in large meteorties. If you 
ever photographed the Tucson Ring, you own the rights to the photo and I 
encourage you to submit it, please (first one in/first one used (given equal 
quality). 

C'mon you guys! I kNOW some of you have some nice, big fat meteorites with 
holes!

Please send as attached JPG (s) to: mlbl...@cox.net

Thanks, everyone,
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there!
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites with holes

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Thanks to all those who have sent in photos so far! Some really nice
Specimens and some of the photos are stunning! (We have some very
Talented photographers on this list). 

Some have asked if their photos were OK  - hell yes! If it is in focus
And decent solid background they are all great - you don’t have to 
Be a spectacular photographer for your specimen to SHINE! 

I do hope the others of you who have specimens with holes will be willing 
to submit them…. I hope you know, when a specimen appears in a book 
it goes up in value…and if it is so impressive as to make the cover - it goes 
up A LOT.

Thanks, again,
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] [IMCA List] Sad News - Fred Olsen

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Fred Olson was one of the greats among us in terms of his contribution 
To all members of the community with his all-encompassing smile and
Open heart. 

While I have not been able to make it to Tucson for a few years, now, when
I did I never failed to stop by and say hi to Fred who was a virtual 
Conduit of light, love and good vibes which he freely bequeathed 
to all. 

When I “stepped in it” (more than a couple of times) due to my ego
And/or naïveté and/or stupidity, Fred never faltered in his good will. 
I will never forget that even at my worst, Fred stayed true to being his best. 

What a guy.

What a loss for the meteoritic community.

 Derek,

My response to you is repeatedly returned 
As “spam” though I include nothing that would 
Tiger such a response.

You are confirmed in your post to me.

Apologies to list members

Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Lunar thin slices. (Ad)

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Greetings,

As you know I now rarely post to the list - but I do follow it.

I purchased some large pieces of NWA 11273 Lunar Feldspathic Regolith Breccia.
I had it thin (2mm) sliced and each slice polished on one side and smooth wire 
cut
On the other side by the premier meteorite cutter, Marlin Cilz.

As you have been informed, this material is no longer being released to the 
collecting
Community While you can still get this from ET at $25/g, it is a stone over 1 
Kg and over
$12K (TOTALLY a steal)…. These are THIN, polished slices. If you want a chunk 
of this
Material, you can still get it at bargain prices - here are some KILLER thinly 
sliced pieces
At a price that allows any collector to have a LARGE slice in their collection. 

See these gems here:

<http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/LunarSALE.html>

Thanks and very best wishes to all,
Michael Blood


PS: Sorry, no shipping to Italy 
US and Canada, $6.65 Priority Mail
Outside US $25 registered mail
CA residents only, add 8.75% CA sales tax

[meteorite-list] Comment

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi all list members,

I have not posted to the list in quite a while. I did not like some
Of the posts I had made, especially regarding other list members, so
I withdraw for about 18 months to self assess before posting again.

My email application totally crashed recently and it has taken
Weeks to retrieve ANY of my old address book. When I did, it was
From 2014! So, anyone and everyone who has changed their email,
Phone and/or address since sometime in 2014, PLEASE email me
With all information, putting “UPDATE” in the subject box - Thank you.

In addition, the same happened to my sales lists, of which, in
Addition, I lost ALL of list #5.
So, if you would like to receive my VERY OCCASIONAL (i.e.
2 to 5 times a year) ads, please email me with “METOEORITE ADS”
In the subject box and I will add you to my list. Everyone knows my
Ads ALWAYS contain some killer pieces/prices that result in even
Other dealers contacting me immediately. 
IF YOU WERE ALREADY ON MY LIST please include the following:
1) Your old email address
2) the List # you were on (some were on more than one list - inc. all)
3) Your current email address
I will make sure you are only on one list and your email is current. 
NONE of my emails are ever sold, traded or exchanged to other
Parties - ever.

Thanks to all list members for their patience with me.
Hope to see y’all in TUCSON at ET’s on Fri, Feb 3 and/or
Blaine’s Sat, Feb 4 where I will sign Aspects of Meteorite Orientation
(Which will be on Show Special 1/2 price)
Very best wishes to all,
Michael Blood

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi Joachim,

You did not hear what I said. I said only that there were
Innumerable reports re the unreliability of the postal service
In Italy and there was a notorious person there that has many
Times ripped off dealers in the US and who constantly changes
His name and email address to effect such rip offs, avoid being
Ousted from the meteorite list, etc. - and that the individual I
Dealt with I would never deal with again. (Dean Bessey reported
He had a disastrous experience with this same individual).

Just because I will never sell to Italy again in no way means
I think Italians are some group of untrustworthy individuals. It is
Only two turkeys and a dysfunctional postal system that guides my
Actions. Not some pitiful bigoted attitude!

Remember, I live in a country where, God help us, a notorious
Scam artist fascist with an outrageous narcissistic personality disorder
Is liable to be seen as representative of our people!

Best regards, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi Doug,
I am glad to hear your dealings with this individual have been
Positive. I cannot say the same. However, after denying he refused
To pay the shipment (this sounds like a refusal to me:

" So I must pay 110$ for shipment... More other 150 or more for Italian
custom with fedex..
No is impossible pay so much for Henbury.
Sorry
Davide" )

he finally did send me almost all the remainder of the shipping
cost. 
I still will never sell anything to anyone in Italy again due to all
the reports on their postal system and on individuals, including this
One (see Bessey post).
Again, happy your dealings have been more positive.
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the kind words. However, I have saved all
The emails and believe me, there was absolutely no confusion
Re shipping - -clarified clearly (twice) that if Fed EX were
less than $50 I would refund him the difference and if it
were more than $50 he would have to agree to paypal me
the difference.
He stated I should  not have put the "real value" on the shipment -
AFTER I had sent it - When Fed Ex turned out to be more, then
He complained he would have to pay the import fee and wouldn't
Pay any more for the shipping.
Kind and gentle is always best and I tried that for several
Posts to no avail whatever.
No, this is a clear cut case of being ripped off. I suspect it is
Our old "friend" as his approach is nearly identical and his English
Is similarly distorted. But whether it is or not the results are identical.
I, too, like to think people are basically honest and live up to
Their commitments and I do deal with people that way and the vast
Majority of people in the meteorite community are that way.
Also, I do not believe for a second this is "typical of Italians" -
only two - and possibly only one - have/has acted this way. Every
Country has both the saintly and the cur.
Good to hear from you, Doug,
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Another warning re sales to Italy

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

 Hi all,

You all may recall that several years ago multiple
Dealers warned against sales to Italy. It seams at
Least one buyer was claiming not to have received
Shipments that were verified, not to have received
Money that was sent him, etc.

Unfortunately, I failed to head warnings about
Shipping to Italy. A different Italian contacted me (Or
At least one using a different name and email) and
I explained even Registered Mail seems to fail to
guarantee delivery in Italy but I somehow allowed
him to talk me into a Fed Ex shipment of a specimen.
I agreed, providing he send $50 shipping and agree
to pay any additional amount Fed Ex might charge.

Perhaps it is the same fellow from several years ago
Using a different name (he was so good at that Art could
Not keep him off the list because he would just join again
Using a different name and email). So, beware of:

"Davide Urbinati" <urbinati.dav...@gmail.com>


Even though I scanned the receipt and sent it to him
He refused to pay the $59.79 Fed Ex charged me. So, I am
Out that $.

Believe me, I will never ship to Italy again.

Better luck to all of you,
    Michael Blood

Hi all,

The original phrase in this instance is
"Pot calling the kettle black."

[meteorite-list] Orientated Meteorites

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi all,
A couple months ago several people contacted me wanting to purchase
My book, ASPECTS OF METEORITE ORIENTATION.
I found I had only a couple left and checked the print-on-demand
website where it had been published and found they no longer provide
Print-on-demand service.
I therefore had it republished and it can now be had directly (in
Paperback, at:

https://www.createspace.com/6225298

I also had it published in Kindle format (you can get the free Kindle
App for any device, including your phone at
https://www.google.com/#q=free+kindle+apps  )
And can purchase the book in Kindle form at:

https://goo.gl/VfX6qZ

For those unfamiliar with the book it includes the following:
Orientation Defined,
Effect of Orientation on Value,
Degrees of Orientation,
TYPES:  
Domed,  
Shields,  
Nosecones,  
Teardrops & Bullets,
Flowlines,  
Lipping,  
Backside Pooling & Bubbling,
Regmaglypting,  
Unique Shapes,  
Flight Markings vs. Oriented
- multiple photos of specimens in each category.
(Thanks to all that provided photos) 106 pg

Thanks, Michael

Hi all,
Some of you on the list (especially the dealers) may have also
Been contacted by this guy. He is from Greece and says he dug up
This 55.2Kg sphere from 20 meters deep. He asked if I thought it
Were a meteorite. I assured him it was not but I am fascinated by it.
Any guesses as to what people think it could be?

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite ad

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Greetings all,
Here are 17 specimens from that private collection I am selling.
These were originally individually chosen for a personal collection
And are being priced to sell quickly. Also, the few that haven't sold from
Previous sales are reduced 10% EACH TIME they don't sell, so, there
Are some real deals "below the line" as well.
Regardless, you will enjoy seeing many of these at:

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/PrivateColSALE.html


Please let me know where you live when ordering so I can
Quote you a total that is $6.10 shipping Priority Mail in the US
Or $32 Registered Mail overseas.
 All requests will be filled in the order they arrive in my email,
So a quick response increases dramatically the likelihood you
will get what you want.
I will get back to you right away and I will
Also take down from the website each item it is sold.
Best regards, Michael Blood

Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Hi Frank,
Personally, I do not read nearly as many of the list posts as
I used to because:

1) People often do not change the subject box even though they are
Off on an entirely different topic - if I am burned out on a given topic
And people keep not changing the subject box, I just ignore those posts.
2) Posts are not identified as from a specific member when they arrive
3) Many do not sign their posts, so even if you read it you don't know
who posted it even if you read do it.
4) Many of those who do sign their post only use their first name, eg:
Michael . Who knows who that is? Michael Blood, Michael
Farmer, Michael Casper (yes, he does occasionally still post), Michael
Gilmore, or any of a number of other Michaels?
5) Over the years I grew somewhat selective - as when a couple of nuts
Were duking it out over who knows what.
6) I became even  more selective because I didn't care much about what
several members had to say - While there were other members who's
posts I would never failed to read.
7) If people disagree with you there are more than a few on the list who
Can be very rude in their responses. Others, of course, will disagree but
Remain civil, which is fine - but who needs the rude attacks of the
contentious? 
 
So, those are my reasons - they probably are not the same as
everyone else's who have diminishing posting over time, but my guess is
That nearly everyone in this category share at least some of these reasons.
Sincerely, Michael Blood

 As of January 29th of this year FB passed 1.29 billion users. This is an
 unimaginable number of people.
 Just don't say anything that you wish you could take back at a later date.
 Showing your recent acquisitions or wanting to sell one I think is pretty

 Rob, all,
 
 The Hammer stone in the Alabama Museum of Natural History was the stone
 that was cored. (Why would the Smithsonian core their stone after already
 slabbing it?)
 
 
 Provenmire in the 2003 article Sylacauga, Alabama Revisited in METEORITE,
 vol. 9, no. 2 states this about the Hodge's stone: An approximate 31 mm
 diameter core has been removed from the bottom of the object (34 mm deep)
 for internal examination and thin section analysis. He also includes a
 photo of the stone which shows the core hole.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Frank

 The True Story of Ann Hodges: History¹s Only Meteorite Victim

 January 16, 2015 
 By First to Know
 
 
 Getting hit by a falling meteor
 is far more uncommon than getting struck
 by lighting. How uncommon you might
 ask?
 
 
 
 
 There is only one confirmed person in history to have ever
 been hit by
 one. And she had the evidence to prove it.
 
 Back in November
 1954, Ann Hodges was taking a nap in her Sylacauga,
 Alabama, home when a
 rock about 12 inches in circumference came crashing
 through the ceiling. The
 meteorite then collided with her thigh, leaving
 behind a large, conspicuous
 bruise. Thankfully, it didn¹t smash into
 her head, or the scene would have
 been much more gruesome.
 
 When word got around about the meteor, the
 entire town flocked to her
 home. There were so many people curious to see
 what happened that she
 became extremely nervous and had to be taken to the
 hospital. Because
 she was a simple country woman, she wasn¹t used to all the
 attention.
 It made her frenzied.
 
 The incident didn¹t end there.
 

 Despite a government geologist confirming that the object was, in fact,
 a
 meteorite, police confiscated it and requested the Air Force¹s
 verification.
 Many people in the tiny town thought the smoke trails in
 the sky and loud
 explosion meant a plane had crashed, while others,
 paranoid by the Cold War,
 blamed the Soviets. The object needed some
 clearing up.
 
 Once verified,
 the only other thing left to do was figure out who the
 rock belonged to. Of
 course, Hodges believed it was rightfully hers to
 keep.
 
 ³I feel like
 the meteorite is mine,² she said, according to the
 Alabama Museum of Natural
 History. ³I think God intended it for me.
 After all, it hit me!²
 
 But,
 as luck would have it, she wasn¹t the only person wanting to
 stake a claim
 for the space rock. Her landlady, Birdie Guy, wanted to
 keep it for
 herself.
 
 Guy found a lawyer and sued Hodges, alleging that it was hers
 because it
 landed on her property. Although the law was leaning in her
 favor, the
 community wasn¹t too happy about that verdict. So, in exchange
 for
 $500, they settled out of court.
 
 Soon after, the woman and her
 husband, Eugene, received an offer from
 the Smithsonian for the rock, though
 they turned it down ‹ hoping to
 score a better offer. An offer they¹d never
 get.
 
 No one approached them to purchase the controversial entity. In
 1956,
 the Hodges wound up donating it to the museum. If you¹re interested
 in
 checking it out, it¹s still on display.
 
 The entire story is just a
 little heartbreaking, especially when you
 consider that Ann suffered a
 nervous breakdown from the meteorite
 hysterics.
 
 According to the
 museum, ³she never did recover² from the frenzy
 that followed that fateful
 day.
 
 The couple later separated, and, in 1972, she went on to die of
 kidney
 failure in a nursing home.
 
 She ³wasn¹t a person who sought out
 the limelight. The Hodges were
 just simple country people, and I really
 think that all the attention
 was her downfall,² explained museum director
 Randy Mecredy.
 
 What makes this woman¹s story so rare is that meteorites
 typically
 fall into the ocean or land somewhere desolate (not on top of a
 woman
 napping on her couch), according to Michael Reynolds

NOTE: THIS IS NOT METEORITE INFORMATION

Hi All,
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
As some of you know, I grow exotic plants, have a
Greenhouse, etc. 
Unfortunately, CA is THE worst state when it comes
To importing plants.
I have taken to growing cuttings of Plumeria - the
Tropical plant that produces the flowers used in Hawaii for
Leis. There are some very exciting hybrids being grown in
Thailand. However, though all of the other 49 states allow
Importation, CA refuses - even though all cuttings have been
Submerged in malathion for 30 minutes, have a governmental
Declaration of same and no creature or fungus or the like could
Ever survive even a 30 second dunk in the stuff.
So, what I need is a friend on the list who is willing to receive
Shipping and re-box them and send to me Registered Mail.
Of course, I will pay all costs and get the person
Free Priority Mail boxes and prepaid shipping labels
So they do not have to stand in line at the post office or
Anything like that. Just sign for the package, slip it in
The Priority Mail box, print the prepaid label and drop
It off at a post office without waiting in line.
This needs to be someone in a state other than CA
And is home to sign for the boxes when they arrive (a few times).
If anyone is willing to do this for me I will cover all expenses
And express my gratitude with a nice meteorite specimen.
Please contact me off list and change the subject box
So it does not read Meteorite List
Thanks for your consideration, Michael

Discussion on the list about the possibility of building a display
 of a small collection of meteorites and some Mifflin specimens
For the local school. I volunteered to build it and several people
Donated money to help with the construction and purchase of
Mifflin specimens.
A variety of roadblocks have contributed to my failure to
Finish this project and I would like to return all the money donated
By folks on the list. There were some dozen or so such donations
And all but one were like $5 to $25, while one was well over $100.
One person also sent me a box of misc. meteorite specimens. I need to
Hear from all these people, please.
People who donated, please email me directly at: mlbl...@cox.net
Stating the amount you donated.

If your PayPal account is OTHER than the email account with

Email.

I will return all donations via the Gift option since I am unable
To retrieve PayPal data from that old which would have made refund
An option. In any event, you will not be charged by PayPal for the
Refunding of the full amount of your donation. NOTE: This is within

Re: [meteorite-list] List change

[Michael Blood via Meteorite-list]

Yesterday there seemed to be a BIG change in the list...
All posts were identified as coming from Meteorite List
Instead of from the sender as it has always done before.

Does anyone know why? It made it Much easier in the
Past to quickly decide what posts you wanted to read
And often which you didn't care to read - or which first,
Etc.

I always read every post Bernd, Anne Black, Pual Harris,
And several other wrote, usually read most of the others
And rarely read some and never read a few (over the years).

This new system makes it so you don't know who wrote
What until you are at the end of the post and/or hit
Resend All. 

While one can still prioritize by topic one can no longer prioritize
By sender.

Is this temporary? Did I miss a post from Art about the change?
When I noticed it no one commented at all.
Whazzup?

Best to all,
Michael (Blood)

Re: [meteorite-list] Proud Tom, an Ambassador?

[Michael Blood]

Hi Ruben and all,

I have been working on a site that will have approximately
48 pages of Proud Tom shenanigans. Those who don't know who
He was or what he did can take a look see. Those who enjoyed
Him can re-live some of what he did and those who did not
Enjoy him are invited to not visit the site.

While everyone has differing tastes I have never understood
Why one would subject themselves to things they don't like. I would
Never go to a 3 Stooges movie and then criticize it - any more than
I would eat black licorice and criticize it. I just avoid them both.

I am glad some people enjoy the 3 Stooges and black licorice.
Good for them. I will pass, thank you.

Michael

 Meteorite Maniacs,
 
 Since I brought up this topic a few weeks ago I've been inundated with
 questions and comments that range from, Who was he? to I hated that
 era.
 
 However, today I've received an anonymous email that proves to some
 small degree that in 2004 Proud Tom was officially recognized as an
 esteemed gentleman and an ambassador.
 
 The document speaks for it's self
 http://www.mrmeteorite.com/proudtom.htm
 
 I've also received via email from several list members a catalog of
 some of Proud Toms greatest hits.
 If there is interest I may release some of his written antics page by

 Come on he was funny, wasn't he?

Re: [meteorite-list] Proud Tom NOT

[Michael Blood]

Dear Steve  all,

Since his appearance I have been eager to discover the
Identity of Proud Tom. However, we are no closer to knowing
Than before. I researched this latest rumor and discovered the
following:

To set the scene; Anne Black said she had determined
Without a doubt who Proud Tom is However, this is what
Steve Harvey used to call, The rest of the story:

BOB EVANS:
What Anne is referring to is a comment that I made on Meteorite
Picture of the day on her picture recently. My comment was  looks fake 
and I signed it proud Tom.
I left the comment to ruffle Anne's feathers in response to her
persistent and recent claims of calling one of my mets fake.
And I signed (it) Proud Tom because I know she despises PT.

And there you have it.

I can get a sward and scrape a Z on a wallthat doesn't
Make me Zorro. 

So, Proud Tom continues to allude us all, fans and despisers,
Alike.

Best regards, Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Info Wanted

[Michael Blood]

Hi All,
   
I have been inundated with off-list emails from list
Members who joined AFTER Proud Tom stopped posting.
They ask me who he was, what he did, why he is on my
List of Meteorite Friends listed as: Proud Tom, Meteorite
Crusader  Stud Muffin

http://michaelbloodmeteorites.com/MeteoriteFriends08.html

So, for those who haven't asked yet, here is a sample
Response to said inquiries:

If you only knew! Proud Tom released a series of web sites
Lampooning EVERYONE.

I was hit as hard as anyone, but I thought he was hysterical.
My sense of humor made me believe he is a friggin comic genius -
While more than a few turned into sour faces as though someone
Had shoved a bitter lemon into their mouths - like some of the old,
frustrated Nuns I used to have in grammar school! (Some people take
themselves WAY too seriously!)

BTW: Meteorite Crusader  Stud Muffin.  was the title he
Bestowed upon himself. I just printed what he sent in. (If you aren't
On the Meteorite Friends list - just send me your head shot and name -
It makes it easy for all list members to see with whom they are
communicating)

MANY people have believed I am Proud Tom - I wish I were as
clever as he. His lampoons were priceless.

Best regards, Michael
PS:  QUESTION FOR ALL:

Does anyone out there have copies of Proud Tom's old Web Sites???
It was a long time ago and way before I learned the incredibly simple
Task of retrieving a web page and saving it. (on a Mac it is
apple-shift-F3 and you have whatever is up on your screen as a JPG
On your desktop)

Now I am hoping SOMEONE did save these old posts. If so,
I would be most grateful if you would email them to me (probably in JPG
Format would work best).

RSVP
Thanks very much, Michael

PS: No hate mail, please.

Re: [meteorite-list] Alien Crap

[Michael Blood]

Hi Adam  all,

You are right that the UFO items were a source of great mirth and
Most brought surprisingly high bids - one very high, and you are only partly
mistaken. The Alien Crap one of the lots brought 4 digit bids, but
there was one lunar that sold for $12,000 - 5 digits, so, did not top the
highest price - but was quite impressive.

I find it interesting that some of the loudest complainers about
Various aspects of the auction were not at the auction and missed out
On some Very good pieces.

Best regards, Michael

 A piece of the alien crap realized the highest price at the Blood auction
 beating out every meteorite offering.  It would have gone higher but most of
 the people into UFOology were attending a convention in Phoenix Arizona at the
 same time the auction was going. A lot of people were pretty subdued at the
 auction until the alien crap was put up for bid.  Then the room was full of
 laughter and became animated.It added a lot to making the social auction fun.
 
 
 As far as meteorites go, I have a multimillion dollar inventory that I am
 sitting on until the economy gets better or the very limited market thickens. 
 Until them, I will offer a limited amount of meteorites and diversify into
 much hotter markets like artifacts.

Re: [meteorite-list] Last call for Absentee Bids DUE

[Michael Blood]

Hi all,

The auction is set with 110 items, the 25 (Lot 40-65) all
Were purchased from ET (who can verify their provenance).
The 47 LB Canyon Diablo I will have checked with Blaine
To see if it is really a Campo.

Even though there are far more super major specimens
Than ever before, there are still plenty of specimens for every
Pocketbook.

Given the richness of so many of these specimens I am
Surprised more absentee bids have not come in. Absentee
Bids will be accepted up to midnight, tomorrow, Sunday, so, you
Only have about 37 hrs to get them to me.

More than other places I will be spending a lot of time at
Blaine;s and ET's. Looking foreword to seeing you all there.

TUCSON FEVER!

Re: [meteorite-list] Many Lunars added to Tucson Meteorite Auction

[Michael Blood]

Hi All, 

2 days ago a private collector submitted 26 lots including many
whole stones including the following categories:

Lunars (Several are half stones  {world class specimens} - also some
smaller slices)
Howardite
Eucrite
Rumerutite (oriented)
C3 Ungrouped
CV3
Redrock
Bensour
El Hammami
Oum Dreyga
D'Orbigny
Etc.
 
This pretty much filled up the auction and any additional entries
Will be the day of - and there are always a bunch or those.

I have arranged the on-line catalog in its final lot order and this
new collection is in lots 40 through 65 (if you have been following along).
Nearly all of the lots in this group have minimums but they are
Modest to stupid low opening bids.

THIS IS THE LAST WEEK TO SUBMIT ABSENTEE BIDS
Please include full lot #  (ie Lot 9 KR 1  not just Lot 9 . Please
Put METEORITE AUCTION ABSENTEE BIDS in the subject
Box of your email and expect a confirmation from me within 24hrs.
If you do not get one please email again, as I ALWAYS confirm absentee
Bids. 

Whether bidding or not, this is a chance to see some spectacular
Specimens (yes, there are 12 lots of UFO material - but if that ain't
Your thing, get a grip).

Twink will be bringing both a Gold Basin and a NWA 869 cakes.

There will be plenty of affordable specimens for everyone, but this
Auction will unquestionably have the most spectacular specimens ever.

Best wishes  - and see you in Tucson!
Michael

talk to ET, yourself if you still hold any doubts. ET has been
around longer than all but 2 or 3 of us. I have never heard anyone
Claim he misrepresented any material)
YW = another private collector - if anyone is doubting any of his material
email me and I will foreword it to him  I am sure he will provide
you with information that will reassure you.

All the UFO lots are from Adam Hupe who contacted me re the
possibility of entry in the auction. Adam has, over the years entered
Hundreds of specimens in the auction - many of which sold for well
Under his standard pricing, providing a real service to the bidders. He
Has spent hundreds if not thousands of hours in service to the meteorite
Community. Those not interested in these lots can take the ten minutes
They will require to get a drink or smoke a fatty or whatever it takes to
mellow.
 
Looking foreword to seeing ya in Tucson!
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Question re Ad: EXTRA RARE FALLS - Peekskill, New Concord, Barwell, Parnallee, and many more!

[Michael Blood]

Hi Rubin,
Please allow me to express cicely that in bringing up this issue
There is no personal criticism intended, whatsoeverthe issue is
Restricted entirely to the subject of the definition of orientation.
Knowing you are a respected and accomplished member of the
meteorite community and having concluded from personal interaction
That your honesty and integrity are unquestionable I was very surprised
to read your description of the NWA 859 specimen included, oriented.
Please tell me what, exactly do you see that I am missing that
Would make you describe this specimen (advertized below) as oriented?
I can only conclude one of two possibilities is at work: 1) I lack a
complete understanding of what constitutes orientation or 2) there was an
unintended error in composing the description. (perhaps there is a 3rd
explanation?)
I see none of the aspects indicative of orientation - but I may be
missing something? Perhaps the use of the term oriented was a clerical
error? Perhaps there were photos showing aspects of orientation that did
Not get posted with the ad?
RSVP
Thanks, Michael

 List,
 
 For the first time I will be going to the Gem and Mineral show in Tucson in
 February.  Can¹t wait.  We just booked a BB about 20 minute drive in the

 Is there a list out there of important meteorite dates during the show?  Mike
 Blood¹s auction and the birthday bash etc..
 
 After some time in Tucson we also are travelling to Portal near the New Mexico
 boarder (60 miles form the nearest grocery store) for some deep sky observing

 Can¹t wait!
 
 Cheers,
Hi Mike  all,
Finally got a new computer, found all the met-list posts that
Were being held up by my server, etc.
The Tucson Meteorite Auction will be Sat, Feb 8. The Birthday
Bash is usually the night before the auction, but you will have to check
With Geoff Notkin to be certain.
Meteorite Exchange usually posts a meteorite Tucson Guide with
The location of all the dealers, contact info on visitors, events,
etcthough I don't think they did it last year. Crappy memory and can't
Be sure if I thought that, they said they weren't but then did or if they
Said they weren't going to do it and didn't do it. It sucks to have your
Memory go. Can't tell difference between what you thought about and
What really happened.
Oh well, beats the alternative.

Re: [meteorite-list] LATE DELIVERY: Oriented meteorites book sold through CafePress

[Michael Blood]

Hi all,
Sorry for the delays. I have no controle over Café Press shipping.
Aparently some have gotten their book within 3 days and others are well
Past 3 weeks!
If you have waited more than 10 days, I suggest the following:

Call them: (get on their case Ask for your shipping cost back,
{they could have sent it Priority Mail - 1 to 3 days  - for what they
charge!} etc.). Anything past 10 days within the US is beyond acceptable.
(call is free per below)

1-877-809-1659 Toll-Free (US)
1-402-517-4480 International

Looking foreword to seeing you in Tucson!

 After three weeks of waiting, a

 Review of the shipping address

Re: [meteorite-list] Sale?

I have purchased stuff from Café Press so, sometimes get
These ads. This one is supposed to be for 40% off of any purchase
Today.
I find it odd that some people would resent others getting
A bargain after their own purchase, but, obviously some do.
I do not know if this works but it says it does if you plug in the
Discount number during checkout:

Shop until at midnight (PT): 40% off your order with code 40FEST

Anyone interested in trying should go to:

Re: [meteorite-list] Update

[Michael Blood]

Great news,
For those of you who helped get Gary Foote get into the experimental
Cancer treatment program by participating in buying his meteorite
collection:

Things here are going well for him in the program.  To date Gary
has had very little side effects from the chemotherapy.
CJ, his wife, passes on,  Thank the Lord.  We have been so busy but
I must take time to thank  the buyers.  They are great people

Without your help Gary would not have been able to get into the
Treatment program.
Thanks, everyone,

All new items are on a 48hr bid basis (all items already bid

[meteorite-list] Southern California Meteorite Tektite Club Meeting Photos

[Michael Blood]

Hi All,
Thought some of you might get a kick out of seeing some photos I
took at August get together.
Inspired by the Tektite Club originally formed by Paul Harris  Jim
Tobin lo these many years ago after they purchased the entire Futrell
Tektite collection, the Southern California Meteorite
 Tektite Club is now
hosted by Bob  Moni Verish. We have been meeting yearly, but Bob is
considering 
making it a twice a year gathering. Small and intimate, people
bring meteorites to share and enjoy, along 
with one another's company.
This year Jason brought a humongus whole stone lunar (with a
window from the sample donated to the adentifying institution). Very
Cool to hold a piece of the moon that large.
   
Here are some photos:

http://www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com/SCMTClub2013.html

P.S: If the person who took the time delayed photo of EVERYONE
Were to allow me to post it, that would be a hoot - even better if
They knew everyone's name in the photo. If you are ok with that,
Please send JPG to me ASAP off list.

Best to all,
Michael

Re: [meteorite-list] Apology and thanks

[Michael Blood]

To Maria Hass and all,
It has been pointed out to me by a friend that regardless
Of what someone does it is not kind to bring it up on the
List. 
I would like to publicly apologize to Maria Hass for my
Critical statements some time ago. I would also like to thank
Her for all she did to help the Footes in the past.
Gary Foote was admitted to the hospital last night. I am
Struck with how little time all of us have on this beautiful earth
And how forgiveness, kindness and release of any and all
Negativity is the only sane course for this all too short life we
All are passing through.
Any prayers for Gary will be much appreciated - and from
The atheists, wishing him well (literally).
As Dickens said, God bless us, everyone
Sincerely, Michael
