Numerous stones fell, mostly concentrated in the area of the village
of Park Forest. At least two houses in Park Forest were struck, as was
the Fire Station. Dozens of other stones or fragments of stones were
recovered in the area in the hours and days following the fall. Total

Sipiera, PSF): Most stones are partly to fully fusion-crusted. Some
broken faces show brecciated texture, angular clasts. Cross-cutting
dark veins and dark pockets may be of impact melt origin. No visible
chondrules in hand sample. Abundant troilite and metal visible in some
broken faces. Chondrules and maskelynite are visible in thin section.
Mean olivine composition Fa24.7, mean low-Ca pyroxene Fs20.7Wo1.6.

[meteorite-list] SALE - Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 157, Issue 31

[Dave Ribeca via Meteorite-list]

Hi All,
For those people who may be interested. I have 29 meteorite specimens up for 
sale on ebay with a “Buy It Now” total value of $2,339.95 USD. I want to 
sell all 29 specimens at once so I can end dealing with ebay. In order for 
me to do that, I will have to end the entire ebay “Buy It Now” 30 day sale 
and pay the 10% sale value added penalty of $233.99 USD. That brings my 
total “down” (loss) to $2105.95 USD…. I will offer an additional 25% 
discount to any buyer on the final sale amount of $2105.95 USD which will be 
$1,579.46, for all 29 specimens…. Since this is not an ebay business 
transaction and most of you are my colleagues or friends, you must PayPal me 
as “SEND MONEY TO FAMILY OR FRIENDS, not as a purchase. Or, send me a bank 
check.


Shipping will be free to any USA address.

NOTE: Each specimen is accompanied by a black or blue 3-ring, clear cover, 
Provenance/ data portfolio containing the chain of Provenance and pertinent 
data concerning the scientific, social, anthropological, economic, and 
geographical/ geological impact of the meteorite event, if and/ or when 
available and provided by/ from my data research.


It’s a great deal. Think about it and send me a private message if you're 
interested. You can see the specimens here:
