Hello List,

As many of you know I made a new chondrite find in January here in Arizona
and it has been classified as a L5, S1, W3 by Lora Bleacher at ASU. This
meteorite will be in the next bulletin pending acceptance.

 I have been hunting the area for 6 months now and have found only 840 grams
or so with the main mass being 465 grams. I was hoping to get into more and
still may who knows, but I have put in some serious time hunting with some
help with no more found and a very large area of very rough country has been
pretty well covered both by eye and metal detecting... All that I have so
far is from the same specimen and found in a 25 x 50 foot area (or so).

I have decided to sell the main mass (465 grams) to help out the ol'
household cash flow so I will offer it here to the first one to offer $5.00
per gram.... I will wait 3 days before I follow other avenues. Here is a
link to a photo of the specimen next to the second largest (164 g). The
buyer will also be told the name (proposed) of the new AZ find that I have
not so far released as I am still hunting the area.

There are several here at the list that can give you a reference if you have
any questions about me:

John B.
John Gwilliam
Larry Sloan

and a few others. If interested please contact me off list and click the
link for a photo.
