Hi  I am PJ-I was just reading about all the time it takes for you to
find
   whatever you are looking for. It seems like a lot of work. I may, or may
not be
  able to speed that up considerably. If you have time--give me a call so I
can
  discuss it with one or several of you. Looking forward to talking to you.
  Thank you--P J.

You might want to check out this piece of rock or most likely slag, or melted 
metal on Facebook, on the page; " Crystal/Mineral Specimens-Buy/Trade/Sell/Show 
and Tell! " Posted by Chady Hanna, for sale, it says FREE under the words 
Meteor Stone. It's Unlike any meteorite I have ever seen. I don't know anything 
about this guy, perhaps he needs some information and help on what is and isn't 
a meteor or meteorite.

[meteorite-list] Ad - Osceola Fall

2016-04-04 Thread Larry Atkins via Meteorite-list 
Hello Meteorite Fans,

As you've probably heard, Osceola is now official!

In celebration, we would like to make some material available to the collector 
market. A lot of people have been asking for it but we wanted to wait until it 
was officially recognized. 

There are a few interesting facts about this meteorite that I'd like to share 
with those that are not aware. First, this meteorite is scientifically 
interesting, more so than the average L6 chondrite. It is currently being 
studied in the lab and results will be published in the near future. Next, this 
is only the 6th meteorite from Florida and only the second witnessed fall from 
that state.That's some of the lowest meteorite counts for any state in the 
U.S., with only a few having less. This is the only witnessed fall from Florida 
to become available to the collector!! The other witnessed fall (Orlando), was 
a ~180g single stone and as far as I know it has never been offered for sale. 
Osceola was the 9th fireball of 10, tracked down and located using Doplar 
radar, a rare occurrence to say the least. Other meteors have fallen in Florida 
and people have tried to find them but it's never happened, likely due to the 
inhospitable hunting conditions. I'm aware of at least 4 parties that have gone 
out on multi day hunts looking for Osceola without success. The remaining 
meteorites are being assimilated, the swamp is consuming them and they are 
turning into the Earth right now. It's unlikely that anymore than a stone or 
two more will ever be found, let alone a mother load. This is a very rare, 
collectible fall meteorite.

In hand the slices are quite nice. The material looks best unpolished so that 
is how they are offered. With a hand lens, in good light, you can easily see 
the abundant copper, as well as a host of other colors like green, gold, blue 
and bronze, a whole rainbow unlike anything I've personally noticed in a 
meteorite. There are a few thin shock veins, some black and some filled with 
metal. Thin black fusion crust surrounds each slice, contrasting nicely with 
the lighter, yet slightly shock darkened interior. The full slices range in 
weight from 16 grams up to 41 grams.

If you've not yet read the story of the fall and recovery, go to 
Mikesastrophotos site and check it out. He's written an exciting story with 
lots of pictures. Space.com picked up the story too, as well as many others. 

http://www.mikesastrophotos.com/comets/osceola-meteorite-recovery/

Space.com

http://www.space.com/32046-florida-fireball-meteorite-hunt-success.html

 You can also see a t.v. interview with me here;

http://www.news4jax.com/news/hunters-find-meteorites-in-the-osceola-national-forest

I've prepared an array of specimens to suit most collector budgets. Full slices 
and large part slices will be presented in a high quality Riker Box with an 
identification card. Smaller part slices and fragments come in a plastic gem 
jar and include an ID card as well. Please keep in mind there is a very limited 
amount of this material and it's first come, first served. There are 8 full 
slices total, maybe only 7 if I need to break one up for smaller pieces. Out of 
the 991 grams TKW there is about 400 grams total that will be made available.

Prices break down like this:
< 1 gram is $175/g
1 - 5 grams $150/g
6 - 10 grams $125/g
11+ grams $100/g

Email me off list for for inquiries and photo's.

Thanks and have a great day!


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

In that "for sale" format, the "FREE" only means the seller didn't enter an 
amount into the "price" field.

As Brian mentioned ... not a meteorite, not  meteor.  Maybe not a stone either.

Best wishes
Doug
