I will focus on selling some of the Moss meteorite tomorrow. I must recover some of the nearly $7000 I spent on the trip to Norway and Sweden. Anyone who thinks meteorite hunting is cheap needs to try it sometime! I will prefer to do private sales as I have too many small pieces to photograph and put on the website as I normally do. I know from the response to my emails over the last couple of weeks I will have most of the material sold rapidly. I have too many emails from the trip to go through quickly, so Anyone wanting a piece needs to email me ASAP with the amount they want to spend and I can try to accommodate them. I will offer it for $200.00 per gram. I have many pieces with fusion crust, but that will run out fast, so if you want crust, I need to know like now. Anyone who thinks this is a high price needs to think again. I have already sold my largest piece for that amount, and Bob Haag and I had lunch today and he also wont sell for less as he bought his pieces. There are only 5 witnessed falls of CO3 meteorites in the world, Moss if confirmed as a CO3 will make that #6. So here we go, let the sales begin! Moss Norway, fell July 14th, 2006 at ~10:15 am in the Ostfold region including the towns of Rygge and Moss. So far, just over 3 kilograms known. 50% of this is already in Museum hands and totally out of the running for sales. After a month of searching by over 20 meteorite hunters and dealers, I highly doubt that much more will be recovered if any at all. Michael Farmer By the way, I will build a great webpage with photos as soon as my film arrives from Sweden. Received on Wed 16 Aug 2006 12:03:09 AM PDT |
