Hi Dave and list, One problem I have is the darn flash! I get everything set up just right, take the picture and all I get is a big glare where the flash hit. Of coarse the obvious solution is to turn off the flash, but then the pics are to dark. So, get some other light source, the sun maybe,

[meteorite-list] sanding vs. not sanding?

Hi List, a few list members have told me they like their meteorite slices left unsanded. I have noticed on some meteorites that you can see a lot more detail on an unsanded surface. Is value affected if you sand or not? What about saw marks, I don't like them, but I don't want to sand them off

Hi List, back in March of 2004, I made a lot of enemies on the list for asking; I have to ask, was Portales Valley classified as a H6 ordinary chondrite because they were to lazy to make up a new classification? It would seem to me that this unique meteorite deserves it's own group instead of
