Thanks again for the really great response. Your making it hard for me =
to choose a winner with so many great entries...so I had my girlfriend =
help me pick out 5 finalist. I will now ask the list for help from =
decided from these 5. Please take a moment and vote for one of these =
entries. =20

Thanks again, Mark Bostick "The Big Collector"

1. African meteorites are cool because they were once
rocks floating in space. Every single one of them were
fireballs. It's neat where they fell, like the Sahara
Desert.

I will look at your ebay auctions soon!

Sincerely,
Catherine=20

Editor note: Catherine Fox (11 years old) brother is on the meteorite =
list

2. African Meteorites are cool because they are the link
between the desolate wastes of space, the dry and
barren deserts of Africa and the void in our hearts
created when we think we have seen it all.

These Meteorites astound us with their beauty,
confound us with their hints at extra-stellar origin
and educate us (Once the Labs tell us their lineage)

We never know, until we open them, if we are looking
at a piece of the Moon, or Mars, or the last blackened
fragments of a cometary impact.

They capture our imagination as no earthly stone ever
can and keep us looking for the next find. William
Blake wrote about "seeing the universe in a grain of
sand"; and what better way than through the mystery of
the African Meteorites.

Thanks for the opportunity to praise the African
Meteorites!

4. NWA meteorites are cool because they are unique individuals which =
have, and continue to go with the flow. With temporary resting places in =
NWA which may have been long or short , these cool units of history =
continue to illicit responses of delight and dislike. They mirror the =
vast finds of meteorites in Antarctica the only difference is they are =
"cold" and we cannot have them.=20

Cool NWA meteorites could be used to mark a grave ,adnored as jewellery =
or treasured in the museums and collections of the world or trodden =
under foot , with little effect on the treasure contained in, and the =
history of each one . The impact is now on our lives for better or worse =

My appetite for these cool NWA's has been initiated by accessibility , =
driven by affordibilty ,sustained by variety and continues by virtue of =
the possibility of the best is yet to come. My greatest fear is that the =

5. African Meteorites are cool because >From where they come it's very =
cold. Some of them are quite young But most of them are very old. In =
their Northwest African realms They spent many a cool night Just to bake =
in the Saharan Sun After the cool morning breeze was gone. Each night =
they gazed up at this beautiful, star-studded sky Whence once they came =
from some asteroids nearby. Some even call our Moon or the Red Planet =
their home Keeping each other company they didn't feel alone. Out there =
in the Saharan Desert this heavenly lode One cool aeolian morning =
decided Time was ripe to give up their sandy abode. So one by one they =
travelled this globe Some of them have found a new home here For good - =
at least that's what I hope!=20

Best poetic NWA wishes,=20
