Hello All,

I have 12 auctions ending in about 2 days:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZpema9QQhtZ-1

There's:

- ACFER 214, 0.22 g, an extremely rare CH2 or 3. See more info on
David Weirs excellent web page :
http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_ACFER214.HTM
There are only two sellers with a tiny piece of Acfer 214 and they
both offer it for 500 $ per gram!

- ST. GERMAIN-DU-PINEL, France, fell 1890, never seen offered on eBay
before(?!), a small part slice from the ETH Zurich.

- TOURINNES-LA-GROSSE, Belgium, fell 1863, a small fragment from the
ETH Zurich.

- ALBARETO, fell in Italy in 1766(!), LL4 (new study: L4) a small
fragment from the well known JNMC (J. Nauber Met. Coll.) Zurich.

- SHALKA, fell 1850 in India...

...and a few more nice ones.

Peter
