[meteorite-list] The top 60 meteorites

[AL Mitorling via Meteorite-list]

Hi Mendy and all,

Good list for sure. Some of those are hard to get. Just a note that I have
listed in the past 4 months, or will list about 35 our of the 60.

Easy to say, but any Nininger item would be a great part of any collection.
Even if you only have one Nininger Item.

Happy collecting!

Re: [meteorite-list] The "definitive" collector's list of meteorites

[Peter Marmet via Meteorite-list]

Hi Mendy and all,

YES, Twannberg is a must-have, not only for European collectors! It’s one of 
only 6 IIG irons worldwide!

Cheers,
Peter
