Some only a few gm., but up to a few <DIV></DIV>>hundred g. Yes, they are so similar...even to flow lines and remnants of <DIV></DIV>>fusion crust. I cut a number of the respective lots I purchased and etched <DIV></DIV>>a few of them to be sure, and they are what they were claimed to be. Many <DIV></DIV>>of the Glorieta Mtn. show various amounts of olivine through the crusts. <DIV></DIV>>But the etch is very characteristic, even on little ones of a few g. and <DIV></DIV>>those Glorietas not showing any olivine. There have been a lot of Glorietas <DIV></DIV>>available on the market all of a sudden but the ones I have seen have turned <DIV></DIV>>out to be OK. Best to cut and etch if in doubt! (And of course insist on <DIV></DIV>>a guarantee of authenticity from unknown sources.) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Ron Hartman <DIV></DIV>>www.meteorite1.com <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>----- Original Message ----- <DIV></DIV>>From: <STARBITS_at_AOL.COM> <DIV></DIV>>To: "Steve Schoner" <STEVE_SCHONER_at_YAHOO.COM>; <JOSEPH_TOWN@ATT.NET>; "M <DIV></DIV>>come Meteorite Meteorites" <MCOMEMETEORITE2000_at_YAHOO.IT> <DIV></DIV>>Cc: <METEORITE-LIST_at_METEORITECENTRAL.COM> <DIV></DIV>>Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 10:35 AM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: [meteorite-list] Glorieta Mountain?? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>><AH... DIV < many found have I Taza. like look do these but>>over the years, and if you set one side by side with Taza <DIV></DIV>>you would not be able to tell the difference. They <DIV></DIV>>look exactly alike. > <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> Except in this case they are not taza they are glorieta. Last week I was <DIV></DIV>>offered those 2 pieces on eBay along with a 68 gram piece which I purchased <DIV></DIV>>and it is definately not Taza. See the photos at this URL. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> Most of the taza I have see have a caliche dirt surface on them which I <DIV></DIV>>haven't seen on glorieta, but then I haven't seen as many glorieta pieces as <DIV></DIV>>Steve. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> Normally I don't respond to things like this, but in this case I know the <DIV></DIV>>material is described correctly and letting it go could affect the sellers <DIV></DIV>>ability to make a sale. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Eric Olson <DIV></DIV>>http://www.star-bits.com <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>______________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list mailing list <DIV></DIV>>Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com <DIV></DIV>>http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2734??PS=">Page a contact’s mobile phone with MSN Messenger 6.0.
