Hi Don and all
I am a collector with a tight budget, but I would still not buy a speck
that only is identifyable buy the card that follows it. I would rather
save money and buy a small piece or an individual. I agree that as long
as the tiny speck is waste from cutting it's OK, but how do we

Hey Mike,
At least you can say you've walked on Mars and be
truthful about it.

Don, I know all about losing specks of rare
meteorites. I was once sorting fragments of NW 998,
Nakhlite, rarest of the rare, and I sneezed, about .25
gram of small fragments vaporized! That is real money,
that large an amount of Nakhlite! I found none of
them, since I have thick carpet in my offic
Hi List. My thoughts on specks with a little funny story about them. I
realize not every collector out that has unlimited funds and so many
collectors with budgets and families alike have just so much to spend on
their treasured specimens. Lets face it meteorite collecting can be very
addicting
I have to agree, but I hope and do believe all of my specks came from
cutting a trade or slice that shattered in the cutting process.

Hi all
Personally I don't like specks or micro mounts, at least the ones with a
small tiny something that requires a microscope to see what it is, and
then the only thing you see its an unrecognizeable fragment. I think
it's useless to buy a tiny fragment of a meteorite if you cannot see

Ok, there is potential for fraud, but hey, if you eat
a hamburger, perhaps it will be contaminated with
E-COLI, you could die, but I bet most of you will
continue to eat hamburgers. There is no solution to
this problem, so buy from trustworthy dealers.

Hello Walter, Frank, Mike and All,
I agree, there is a potential problem with fraud.
I would say, that a lack of ability to confirm certain meteorites as being
what they are, is one of the factors that is keeping the hobby from exploding
(even more so) in popularity.
Of course on the rare

me off list and we'll go over who I got them from.

Hi Wal
Hi Walter and All,
It is interesting that Claxton was mentioned. Every
since I started offering thin cut part slices several
months ago, I have seen a lot being offered in
fragment form, even before Darryl Pitt's auction. I
ask, where did it all come from all of a sudden? Has
