Fukang Meteorite Slice - An Important New Discovery
Stoney Iron - Pallasite
Fukang, China
An extraordinary discovery
What is the big news?
Merrillite (Ca3(PO4)2) is found in several meteorites. From martian
meteorites () to pallasites (Springwater). Another meteorites containing
merrillite are Portales Valley, Forest Vale, Ankober, Allegan, Allegan,
Estacado, and several more.
And among the acapulcoites

Yes, the description of Bonhams contains several mistakes.
They forgot about Brahin, Imilac, Brenham - all larger than Krasnojarsk.
The passages about the quality of the olivines are simply wrong.
Look at the picture there, the size of them is not remarkably large
nor is the quality especially
Nice Find Martin, it was nice to actually see this new material that is
thrilling to some listmemembers:), though there is no real guaranty of
authenticity offered.
In case someone out there really is motivated to participate, I just would
like to express my opinion, that these are more
I see the problem here. You said it was named merrillite in your
second mail and that was the mineral name I commented. In the abstract
it is one of the accessory minerals, not the name of the new phosphide.
I can't see anything about the name of the new phosphide mentioned in
the abstract. I

I have another guess.
At the Museo di Scienze Planetarie of Prato
(http://www.mspo.it/ingl/homei.html)
is working a mineralogist a certain Marcello Mellini (Modesty is his middle

In a sudden fit of unassumigness, he decided to name the new mineral
nahabedite. Matteo couldn't

I confirm that the name of the new mineral is MELLINIITE.

Hi Doug,
I see it more pragmatically.
The termsconditions the seller/buyer knows before.
Don't know whether they are so different from other auction houses like
Christie's, Sotheby and all the rest of them.
Nor do I think, that they are meteorite pimps, maximum meteoritically
pimply.

the details.

it pure ooozing greed that the owner does not even bother to take the extra
time and expense to completely finish his work and properly polish the
meteorite.

Hi All,
Regardless of the auction issued discussed here, I think you have to
admit that the flash feature on the auction page provides an
interesting look at the pallasite using internet technology.
Zoomed way in, I have found crystals with holes, cracks filled with
iron, and some great shapes
Hi Mike,
in priciple I imagine the idea to sell meteorites via an auction house to be
not so absurd.
(Must exist more serious enterprises than this one.)
You know it by your own, if one has larger and rare, thus expensive pieces
for sale,
how one has to slog to sell it at an acceptable price,
Martin, I have no problems with auctions. I have problems with giving more
than 50% in fees and sellers premiums, I can do better on ebay than selling
my lunars are Bonhams and losing over 50% of the selling price.
Do you also know that you pay sellers fees even if the item does not sell?

One of the best if not the very best of the shield-shaped meteorites is
the 1745 kg Sikhote-Alin mass. According to Buchwald, it measures about
