The Belizian tektite I donated to a local hospice thrift store has now
been listed- the spelling was altered to Zapotektite.
Happy hunting,

Let me tell you it's great fun and almost as addictive as collecting
meteorites. ;-)
A simple but brilliant idea. Thanks to the inventors!

Lunar and Martian basalts are about 1% troilite and not very magnetic
if you would like that to be a free metal consideration/measure. If
not, you could always scrape off some meteoritic shale or go for highly
oxidized high troilite containing iron meteorites ... like Campo or
Canyon etc.

As far as which mets have an abundance of troilite but little free

Why not Albareto, which is rather low metal 'transitional'. And of
course the type specimen for troilite.
That would satisfy a specific rock that may or may not
Right, And I am serious about it.

I've been following the list for about a year now and this is my first post. I

Nice fantasy Steve, but the idea would never fly; Not even 1/2 second.
You have to remember that there are still many influential people at NASA who
believe that no one should own any meteoritic material, period. (Yes, even
highly weathered H chondrites.)

Obviously, not all NASA people fell that way, as I have sold meteorites to
