Re: [meteorite-list] Add Ivory Coast Tektite
I was lucky enough to look through the stock Alain has and purchased a 4.55g specimen. I thought it was the prettiest of the lot though they are all pretty. My very first tektite purchase! Mendy Ouzillou Hi Mendy, your very first tektite purchase really an Ivory Coast Tektite? Well, if so, you start at a rather high end, top level there. But haven´t you seen the very beautiful Czech moldavites before? Sometimes you also have to pay premium prices for these, as there are some really outstanding specimen on the marketplace, but anyway it is the usual starter with tektites. P.S.: while moving, I recently looked at an almost perfect flanged button Australite in my own private collection, which was sort of locked away long ago. These small goodies also command quite high prices nowadays, if they are perfect or near perfect. Anyway, Mendy - have a look at the moldavites, they can be VERY, VERY beautiful! And there is a definite connection with the Ries Crater in Germany, so you will have a nice piece with both coordinates in space and time... :-) Alex Berlin/Germany Gesendet: Dienstag, 04.

Previously if you have ever seen one you would be very lucky. I have only ever seen 3 in 20 years of selling meteorites. The price would also reflect the rarity. It would probably be in the $1500-$2000 range. The provenance on these is impeccable. They were originally collected in a cotton field over a ten year period in the 1950's to 1960. They were purchased from the original finders grandson. He only brought 30 with him. He does have more but no telling how long they will last. I have a 5.38 g and a 4.03g. I will price them at only $200 per gram. So if you are interested in one let me know ASAP. I will add postage to each order. https://plus.google.com/photos/109538410126952617536/albums/5974929987539389457?authkey=CLT-6aLQ74_J8AE -- Mike -- Mike Jensen Meteorites 16730 E Ada PL Aurora, CO 80017-3137 USA 303-946-1495 IMCA 4264 website: www.jensenmeteorites.com __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] NASA Mars Rover Curiosity's Color View of Likely Route West
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-035 NASA Mars Rover's Color View of Likely Route West Jet Propulsion Laboratory February 03, 2014 [Image] The team operating NASA's Curiosity Mars rover will likely drive the rover westward over a dune and across a valley with fewer sharp rock hazards than alternative routes. A final decision on whether to pass through this valley will ride on evaluation of a short drive planned this week toward the top of the dune that lies across Dingo Gap. The dune is about 3 feet (1 meter) high at its center, tapered off at both sides of the gap between two low scarps. A color view assembled from images taken by Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) on the east side of the dune shows details of the valley that the rover may traverse this month. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project is using Curiosity to assess ancient habitable environments and major changes in Martian environmental conditions. JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

[meteorite-list] hunting in northern CA?
Hello everyone, I'm new to meteorite hunting and would like to find some place to roam around near me. I live in northern CA near San Francisco. Does anybody know of any sites around here that are good for hunting? I'm willing to drive a few hours of course, but it would be great if there was something close by. Are there any strewnfields close by? or what is the nearest? Thanks!
