[meteorite-list] I Processed my NWA 8529 H-6 into my Sphere Rough - Pics & Qestions
I received my 2.4 kilo NWA 8529 H-6 Chondrite yesterday and processed it into my sphere rough today. The good, it was quite fragmented but I was able to find the most solid area to cut my rough from. The bad, the cube does have some cracks and I hope Dmitry can stabilize it before he makes it into a sphere PLUS it’s BROWN and I’m kind of sick of brown spheres. I have a couple questions. Is it acceptable to fix separated slices? If so what do you use? Are collectors, in general, interested in large slices like this even though they are have a separated section? Should I just cut or continue to separate the separated slices in to smaller pieces?

All 3 Sikhote Alin end cuts with their initial etch, the one in the center is 3.5" wide to give you an idea of the size of these I have used both nitol and ferric chloride in the past to etch SA, but my FC won’t be here till Monday. Once I have that I will heat these up and do a quick wash with the FC and follow that with a light nitol etch to make it sparkle. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Sikhote%20Alin/SA%20End%20Cuts%20004_zpszlys8ssc.jpg __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

A fellow list member Derek sent me a 2504 gram end cut of Sikhote Alin to process into end cuts, slices and a rough for my 50mm sphere With my current work schedule it took about 5 days making one cut per day.

This is the nicest end cut of the lot E – 14 fragment consisting of what looks like 2 crystals So we have a total of 1240 sellable grams and after looking at current successful eBay listings, Derek and I decided to initially list these at $3 per gram. If you are interested in any of this send an email to bobad...@ec.rr.com C sold in less then a day when I posted it to forum I frequent. When I was polishing it, a corner separated and at first I was disappointed but then I discovered it sits perfectly in place so it became a feature. Check out this video and you will understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH8hFTDA2Xg My sphere rough weighs 1126 grams and Dmitry is going to earn his money if he gets a 50mm sphere for this rough because it is tight.

[meteorite-list] Looking for a Sikhote Alin
I would love to add Sikhot Alin Sphere to my collection but finding one that I can afford and process has been impossible. So I looking for a partner. If you have a piece of SA shrapnel that has an area that is about 60mm thick and would like to have it processed into end cuts and slices contact me. My cutting process is very efficient with about 5-7% cut loss. In most cases the rough I need to make my sphere isn't even a factor because of the reduced cut loss compared to band saw cut slices. I can offer simple processing (cutting) up to full porcessing (cutting / polishing / etching / photographing / selling) I hope to hear from someone Thanks __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Question about Processing my Bondoc End Cuts
Because the focus of my collection is spheres I will admit that I don’t really know much about what other meteorite collectors like I have started to process the smaller slices and end cuts of my Bondoc Mesosiderite by soaking them in phosphoric acid and then I polish them up to 400. I might go to 800 but I have to get some supplies to do that. They end up looking like this 10 gram slice http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Bondoc/Bondoc%20007%20%2010gr%20Slice_zps9hzhszx3.jpg I don’t mind risking the “value of the specimen” on these smaller pieces but I don’t know if I want to do that for these larger end cuts: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Bondoc/Bondoc%20008%20A%20Large%20End%20Cuts_zps3elatgpc.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p298/BobaDebt/Meteorites/Bondoc/Bondoc%20008%20B%20Large%20End%20Cuts_zpswlinderc.jpg What do you all think?__ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

[meteorite-list] Nitol Etching Formula
I looked but can seem to find this specific info so I hope someone on here can help. I know the basic formula for Nitol etching solution is 90% alcohol and 10% nitric acid. BUT what are the strengths is this formula based on? For instance, you can readily buy 70% and 90% alcohol at any store and nitric acid comes in a huge variety of strengths but 63% seems to be the most common. The reason I ask is that I have an acquaintance that has 1/2 gallon of 50% strength nitric acid that he would love to give to me but because he can not easily dispose of it BUT I need to determine the correct ratio before I accept his gift because I am pretty sure the nitol formula uses stronger acid I hope this makes sense.

I am at a point in my life where priorities have change and I wonder what I will do with the things I have collected over the years. My 50 millimeter sphere collection has a special place in my heart but I don't have the resources to grow my collection so I know at some point I may want to sell it. But other then eBay I have no idea of where I could sell it nor do I have any way to to determine the value since it is a very unique collection.

[meteorite-list] Does any one have an UGLY Large Sikhote-Alin Meteorite that They need processed
I would like to add Sikhote Alin to my collection of 50mm spheres. BUT it has been difficult to find a suitable specimen If you have a large piece of this meteorite or any other from the Coarsest classification, and if you would like to have it cut into slices / end cuts please send an email to bobad...@ec.rr.com My cutting process uses a .030” thick circular blade instead if the more conventional band saw. This not only saves material but it also produces a very flat surface that is easy to polish and etch. I can send you images of cut slices right off the saw in which you can see the reflection of a penny. To create a 50mm sphere I will need a 52mm x 52mm x 65mm block hich normally weighs about 1500 grams if cut from an iron meteorite If you have the material this could be a good opportunity for both of us. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
