Howdy folks,

I am working on acquiring some Hardwick and Wilder. I should have some extra of each that I plan on selling for about $10/g depending upon size and availability.

If you have an interest in either of these, let me know which one and how much you would like at the aprox. $10/gram price.

To refresh your memory, Hardwick is a L4 chondrite from Minnesota found in 1937. A single stone of only 7.8kg was recovered.

Wilder, Idaho is only the second stone from this state, and the first new meteorite from Idaho in more than three decades. Almost all of the 26kg of this H5 is locked up in institutional collections.

This is sort of first-come-first-served, but with a twist. What I hope to have available will be shared distributed upon the lowest amount of cutting necessary. Therefore if someone wants it all, they get it. someone who wants more will have priority over someone who only wants a small piece but I will do my best.

Cheers,

Martin
