<DIV></DIV>&gt;My first meteorite was not actually a "meteorite" but a piece of iron
<DIV></DIV>&gt;shale, that I thought WAS a meteorite, from the Meteor Crater Gift Shop.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I think my folks bought it for me back in 1988 or thereabouts. Come to
<DIV></DIV>&gt;think of it, I may still have it in a box somewhere. My first REAL
<DIV></DIV>&gt;meteorite was a 35g etched slice of Gibeon from Alain Carion. Still have
<DIV></DIV>&gt;that one, and it looks super.

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Hello all-
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;The list seems a bit quiet as the holidays end, associations begin, and
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Tucson draws near. I thought I'd fill up some bandwidth with this:
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;My first meteorite was a 52 gram etched part slice of Gibeon purchased
<DIV></DIV>&gt;at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Prior to this
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sighting, I had absolutely no idea that a single individual could be
<DIV></DIV>&gt;sole owner of such a wonder. I gladly shelled out $110 for it and kept
<DIV></DIV>&gt;it alone for many years. Then, during a period of time in my life driven
<DIV></DIV>&gt;by boredom, I decided to go to the local fairgrounds for every gathering
<DIV></DIV>&gt;they saw fit to hold. Antique glass, guns, knitting, poodles, and one
<DIV></DIV>&gt;day....gems. A chance encounter there with Edwin Thompson opened my eyes
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to the fact that there were plenty more meteorites to be had. The rest
<DIV></DIV>&gt;is history, present, and future.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I would enjoy hearing how others got started, that first piece that
<DIV></DIV>&gt;infected you with meteorite madness. Some of you have multi-million
<DIV></DIV>&gt;dollar collections, others on this list only a few prized pieces. They
<DIV></DIV>&gt;all had to start with one lowly piece as the foundation, the one we
<DIV></DIV>&gt;will never sell or trade away. What was it?
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;P.S. If this thread has already been done, please forgive me and direct
<DIV></DIV>&gt;me to the archives.
