Sorry again if I had hit a nerve. I understand you are entitled for a refund if you are not happy. I was just wondering why those meteorites did not meet your expectations? Size, color, polished,...? Carl2 Carl, No disrespect to you but it’s beside the point on why I didn’t like these meteorites. I can't tell you what you should or shouldn’t like. I was offered unconditional refund and I feel that some meteorites didn't meet my expectation. Think about it - Why would Stefan and Martin not take these back (as per their obligation and terms of sale) if these meteorites were really that great. Are they afraid that there may not be another sucker for these not so wonderful meteorites. There is no justification for committing fraud which is to offer the terms of sale with no intention of honoring them. naveen __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Hi Mike and Robert, Glad you guys are safely back and thank you for letting us know the story in Oman. Something is a bit puzzling. I had read another post not to long ago here that mentioned there was $250,000 to get you back into Oman(?). Not sure if that was a bounty or some kind of reward. The one who made that post did not accept that deal but that is a large sum and seemed with that kind of money for you, you were allowed to leave so relatively easily. I would think that once they got you, they would lock you up and throw away the key. Sorry if I don't have my facts straight or if it opens any wounds. I also thought that it was a stroke of genius of you to say the camera, Ipod, gps,..etc. was not for mining. I would have stammered and gave up hope.:) As much as those meteorites you lost were valuable, it's nothing compared to your health.

Hi All, Nuts! I can't believe all this talk about divining rods lately. So, I made myself a pair from wire clothes hanger, following Warren's instructions and went out to my side yard. My front and back yard are compeltely cemented over. I made it out about 3 feet and the rods crossed over. WTH!! I doubled back and they crossed over at the same spot! I walked over the entire yard and came back at the same spot. Yep, they crossed over! I can't wait till my sons come home so they repeat this experiment. Carl2 Warren wrote: While I agree with you , I must do so with a small grain of salt. I nearly quoted your previous email statement to my father regarding divining rods . He smiled at me, went inside and brought out 2 coat hangers. He cut them and produced two straightened pieces of wire. He then bent them both the same way, nearly at a 90 degree angle with one end longer than the other. He then held the short ends, one in each and hand, loosely out in front of him. He walked across the lawn over a buried water pipe and the two wires went from pointing forward to crossing each other. They crossed exactly when he walked over the pipe and then uncrossed when he was past it. I didn't believe any of it, so he handed them to me. Like a fool ( I felt like one, holding two pieces of wire walking around), I took them and repeated what he had done. Damned if they didn't cross exactly the same way. I could back up slowly and they would move slowly at the same time, crossing when over the pipe. I took this situation to school. A professor listened and proposed we try some tests.

Hi Tim and All, Thank you for this enjoyable program, Prospecting Channel:Franconia, Az, Meteorite Hunting. I love these shows.

I see this show is also available for $11.95, shipped. Not a bad deal for an extended DVD version. I've already bought Iron From the Sky and I think I'll buy this one, too.

[meteorite-list] Meteorite Pairing Discussions-Still Looking for Answers
Hi Thomas, All, You've brought up some good points. I had asked a similar question several months ago but got mostly silence. Based on what was mentioned earlier, only the stones that were originally collected and classified can be called NWA 869. So like what Thomas said, all others should have the designation of Probably paired with NWA 869 or NWA 869 paired. I'm sure there are more pairings but NWA 787/900 are the only ones I can find (see Jeff Kuykens' website): http://www.meteorites.com.au/nwa869/ But also, note NWA 869 is from a known strewnfield in the Tindouf, Algeria area. Maybe, like the Franconia strewnfield, dealers and collectors are relatively sure these are what they claim it is? See also what Eric Twelker says in his website: http://www.meteoritemarket.com/NWA869.htm Any thoughts anyone? Thomas and I would like to hear more from others on this. Carl Thomas wrote: I think I understand the reasoning behind what has been put forth in this discussion so far and abide with it in my own dealings, however, I must wonder why practically everyone on the list who deals in meteorites has not had their probably paired with NWA 869 stones classified with a new number rather than just listing them as NWA 869 even though they bought them as unclassified and probably paired with.? Is there some hypocrisy here?? Is it OK to make an eyeball pairing with 869 but not other NWA's?? Does no one care on this one simply because there is so much of it, so the rule does not apply?? Could it be that no one cares about getting a new number and classification if it's a meteorite that sells for pennies per gram, but if it sells for many dollars or hundreds of dollars per gram, then it becomes important?? ... _ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390707/direct/01/ __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Question Regarding Lunars
Hi Greg and All, Here's an interesting video from the Kaguya lunar spacecraft. The red soil on the moon and Norbert's explanation is probably related somewhat although produced separately. Around the 21:20 mark, check out the red soil on the moon. Nice footage of the moon and of the astronauts frolicking about. Jim K.brought this video to the attention of SkyrockCafe: http://www.slashcontrol.com/free-tv-shows/expedition-week/3669310949-direct-from-the-moon Also, at around the 41:00 mark, the astronauts are kicking around a very large rock! Love this video. Carl Greg wrote: I really appreciate the detailed responses. That's what I suspected. Perhaps the soils in Oman contain more iron based sediment, and the strewn fields there are older.
