Hi Walter and list,

I would have to say that I have two specialties that I collect. The =
first on was unusual named meteorites, such as Camel Donga =
,Dalgaranga,Guadelupe Y Calvo, Millbillillie, Quenggouk, and =
Lanzenkirchen to name a few. The names would strike my fancy and I =
would buy them.

I also collect Heart shaped meteorites and tektites. These are mostly =
for my wife for obvious reasons. We have about 8 whole heart shaped =
pieces and several slices that are heart shaped. We have one beautiful =
heart shaped slice of Gibeon that has our names and wedding date etched =
on it that we got from Paul and Jim of the Meteorite Exchange as a =
wedding present.

I also have one Sikote-Alin that has been sliced and has a inclusion =
that is the letter "A".

Cheers
Alan Gayda

  Subject: [meteorite-list] Collecting Habits

  Hello Everyone,

  I have been thinking of the different ways to collect meteorites =
(e.g., type, class, location, etc.) and I was wondering if anyone would =
care to describe their collecting specialties or subspecialties. The =
reason I ask is because I have gotten interested in a sort of unusual =
specialty area - the find or fall consisting of a single specimen. TKW =
is not an issue as it would be paired with no other specimen.

  An image comes to my mind of a single, lonely meteorite, a common =
chondrite, out on the plains of the midwest US (for example) sitting =
there for hundreds if not thousands of years, just waiting to be found =
by anyone. Maybe it was looked and wondered about scores of times by =
many a passerby or maybe just ignored.

  Anyone else have this interest? I would be interested in hearing =
about others collecting interests.

  Best wishes,

  -Walter
