My focus in meteorites is changing to thin sections rather than large pieces. Thin sections are by far more interesting, than a big expensive piece sitting on a shelf. Anyone offering thin sections of this CR2? Steve Schoner.

Dean Bessy allowed collectors for a once in a lifetime chance at letting them have CR2s at $23 a gram. People who would never have dreamed one year ago at such an opportunity, now proudly display their CR2s and are expanding their collections.He will sell out at Tucson leaving only three of us with the lion's share of this find. The strewn field is small and totally worked over.Those of us left will never after Tucson let this rare material sell for under $100 a gram.I probably control half of the fall and will personally keep or donate it to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto , Canada. [ about4,000+ grams]. Thus supply and demand kick in and those that have it are in no hurry to sell it at low prices after Feb. 2002. For those that bought CR2s from Dean, Congratulations on the great deal. For those who didn't it's highly unlikely you will ever be offered this gift again, which was more of a temporary parntnership to help offset Deans investment.Dean has done well by buying from the source and adding a bit of a mark up. He is providing material today that we could only have dreamed of a year ago at affordable prices. He has helped to expand the base of our collecting community and is an asset to us.Those who bought in the past at high prices should not worry. The material is limited and will continue to sell to high prices in the future.
