I like NWA meteorites because they have made it possible for new young = collectors like Catherine Fox to be able to own a piece of a star. Even = though her posting was short and to the point, I could almost see the = excitement and wonder in her eyes as she was saying it. And you are = right, Catherine, the Sahara Desert is a very cool place!!! NWA = meteorites are just what this hobby needed to bring in new collectors = and furnish an abundance of material for science to study. But, sadly, = this gold rush of meteorites will someday end just as all other gold = rushes through history have ended sooner or later. I also like NWA meteorites because the Sahara Desert has been very good = to me ( Thanks to NWA 482 and others). It has allowed me to take = meteorites to some of the local schools and actually allow people to = "touch the moon or mars". One local school even had a part of their = science course which was teaching the students how to identify = meteorites. Unfortunately, their real examples of meteorites were = actually hematite. They knew that they weren't really meteorites but = had no choice and felt hematite was close enough. Well, they now have = real meteorites to use, thanks to NWA meteorites. NWA meteorites have also allowed me to be able to afford to give a = meteorite to someone who I feel would really appreciate it. = Sikhote-alin Meteorites are real popular even with non-collectors = because they look like what people think a meteorite should look like. = This makes me feel good. Much more satisfying than money. And last but not least, it allows me to say to Catherine Fox---- Your = enthusiasm for meteorites has moved me. Send me your address. I have = a nice .024gram piece of the moon I want to send you as a gift. Best Wishes..........
