Hello list,

Meteorites, e.g.:
- SAO JULIAO DE MOREIRA, 7.58 g (15 x 15 x 10 mm), a nice piece of the
rare iron meteorite Sao Juliao de Moreira,
Hi all,
I listed my last sample of Dho 378, samples of NWA 032 and
Kilabo specimen 15% price reduced. This is the lowest price
ever offered for Kilabo Individuals. There's also a half Individual
with polished face, which shows various features. Kilabo is difficult
to polish as it is friable

Hello

specimen with hole.

Dear List Members,
Several sets of auctions representing several rarities and individual
meteorites are ending tonight and the following two nights. Many are still
just 99 cents representing some true bargains.
Several nice meteorites can be found at this link:
I'm looking for tips on polishing slices. I have a few NWA slices from Ebay
that show saw marks,
and have been using various grits of sandpaper to smooth the surface, but while
I get a smooth
surface, it still has a dull, matte appearance to it. I have grades of
sandpaper from 60 to 220,
Hi Darren,
I would consider 220 grit to still be pretty coarse for the purposes
of sanding chondrites. I always go to at least 400 and often 800.
For chondrites that are hard enough, you can even go to 1500 (the
coarsest polishing grade). But sanding also darkens the appearance
of most
Hi Darren,
I polish all my meteorite slices, endcuts, windowed meteorites with sanding
paper by hand.
I begin at 80 grit and then polish
with 120,220,400,800,1000,1500,2000,3000 grit sanding paper.
A long hard work, but the result is like a dream.
This does not work with friable material.

Hi Darren,

Nothing more horrible than a shiny, glossy Allende!

question of personal taste,
as it's with any stone. NWA 869 high polished f.e.: superb!! - we so

Dear sanders;
If you still go with sanding papers instead of grit, automobile supply
stores have wet/dry sanding papers that go up to 2,000 grit for very
little dollars.

Disagreement !
I also lay the sanding papers on a flat glass which has the same effect of
producing a flat surface on the sample. I do not have rounded edges on my
specimens.
Also it is wrong to move the face of the probe in circles.
You have to describe an 8 when moving the sample across the

Spirit's focus on sols 408 through 412 was the spectacular panorama from
Larry's Lookout. After completing that 4-sol effort, Spirit rolled to

Don't forget to clean your fingernails too, if you switch to the next higher
grid.
A single remaining grain from the coarser powder could disturb the result of
the next polishing round.
Control with a good magnyfying glass from time to time whether marks from
the antecedent coarser
Greetings. Looking for a piece of Sahara 98110
AEUC-mbr. for my eucrite collection. I know that there
is a very low TKW of only 31 grams, but all I would
like is a small ~3 gram specimen. Thanks, Dave.

I just cant find any powders on eBay, but from my point of view powder is
more cheap in use.
For example
Hi and good evening list.What is lunar dry lake?By the mention of it, and
from the email I got, it must be a new meteorite found in nevada.Is this
another new meteorite find from my favorite meteorite state???Please can
someone educate me and update this info for me please?
Have you considered grits used for rock tumbling? They come in all the
mentioned grades and inexpensive.

For example 500g of every grid cost below 10$ and this will be enough for
years for person

Dear List, Bernd;
Is there any evidence that animals have licked meteorites for the
minerals in them? I know some humans that have tasted meteorite dust
for the novelty but am very curious if any signs of mostly herbivores
licking or consuming meteorites for the iron, other minerals exists?
Thanks for the good opportunity!

Hi Martin List,
I do know that there are many strange circumstances for shipments to
Germany. One method of shipping will eliminate a service (e.g.
insurance) offered with another shipping method. The best way to find
out is to check: http://www.usps.com
It's usually pretty accurate giving
I remember a couple of months back there was a discussion of confused
Sihkote-Alin individuals.
Well, recently, I bought a 7.7 gram Sihkote-Alin at a BIN of $5.00 that was
described as shrapnel,
but from the tiny photo looked as if it could be oriented. It arrived today,
and not only does it
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering...could the tektite in these photos be considered a taffy
core/stretch tektite, or would that be stretching it? (pun intended)

Hi Darren,
It is hard to tell if your SA is confused in the same way as the 'wheel' SAs
discussed earlier. In those pieces, there is a lipping around both major
surfaces.
Your piece is more dolphin shaped with lipping sections at several points on
various edges. I wonder if your piece fell
G'day Darren,
Nice piece! As Martin mentioned, probably not dual oriented but certainly
not what I'd call shrapnel either! For a good example of dual orientation
have a look at the little Taza individual on the page below. It may be small
but it's a beauty! ;-)
Don't tell me, Martin. Let me guess. The Big Windy And I'll
also venture a guess to the keyword, Wickenburg. Am I correct?
