I'm a collector only, I have only 45 in my collection currently, the lastest being a CV3 from Eric Olson. I've bought from quite a few from here on the list, not everyone yet but eventually! Everyone has been great. Mine are all small specimens, ranging from a 9mg DAG 400 to a 416 gram Canyon Diablo. A few photos of mine are on my web site as well as my meteorite collection list: http://home.hvc.rr.com/kb2sms Regards! Tom Randall Received on Wed 31 Mar 2004 06:53:20 AM PST |
