Re: [meteorite-list] Lots of Gold and Meteorites on Heritage Auctions

[Adam Hupe via Meteorite-list]

I looked through the catalog and was shocked to see unclassified and 
unnamed stones being offered up as lunar and Martian meteorites!  Wow, 
the consignor must have saved a lot by completely bypassing the 
classification process.  Just throw out a worthless COA instead!


In the case of the La'gad stone, it looks as if somebody may be 
confusing the red caliche deposited by Long-term weathering for crust. 
Also the window displays saw marks! What ever happened to pride in 
workmanship?

Re: [meteorite-list] Lots of Gold and Meteorites on Heritage Auctions

[Adam Hupe via Meteorite-list]

I think there may be something amiss here when several dozen stones were 
offered under La'gad name when only three are listed with a TKW of only 
338 grams.  This leads to the question; who studied this exact stone?


Self-pairings are so prevalent these days that prospective buyers have 
the right to know the exact provenance.

Re: [meteorite-list] Lots of Gold and Meteorites on Heritage Auctions

Interesting, I typed it into the Meteoritical Bulletin search site and 
nothing shows up:


Here is the link I used:
https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.php

In any case, how much of it is really out there? Only three stones 
weighing a total of 338 grams is recorded.

 There is a Eucrite in this auction that may look familiar, and I don't mean 
because it looks like Bierschinken.  It is NWA 7496 -- and here is where you 
have seen it before:

by Randy L. Korotev 
And it made an appearance in the textbook titled, "Asteroids":

And here, as well:  http://meteorites.superforum.fr/t6532p25-bonjour-a-tous 
Although this "pin-up girl" of a Eucrite is a numbered NWA, it has published 
GPS coordinates that show it was found in the country of Western Sahara.  
Enjoy,Bob V.

 I just received my copies of the Heritage Nature & Science Auction catalog.  
The photography is stunning.  There are so many items and the images are so 
large, they had to make two separate catalogs:  one catalog for all of the gold 
nuggets, gemstones, and fine minerals -- and in the other, are the many 
meteorites.   

Unlike most of the more recent auctions in which the Lunar and Martian 
specimens are slices, there are some sizeable whole stones of planetary 
material here. 

You may want to add this to your calendar: 

2017 November 4 Nature & Science Signature Auction - Dallas  #5324 
https://fineart.ha.com/c/auction-home.zx?saleNo=5324 

Although it pales in comparison to the hardcopy catalogue, there is an 
online-version for your convenience at this link:

I found it to be an educational read.  I hope you find it to be enjoyable.
