Hi Steve, list

 

"price of $12,500 is a deal indeed. Even a 127 lb Sikhote Alin at that
price is a steal"

 

So I recommend to take Michel Franco's Sikhotes, one is even cheaper and
the other one a larger one relatively tooo.

And the have all paperwork.

 

Regards!

Martin

Mark,

The "reason I keep bringing it up" is because you had issued a warning to
the list that this might be a "meteorwrong" after you went out and saw the
piece. You did not state your reasons clearly regarding your observations
of this specimen.

It sure looks like a meteorite to me, and in fact it looks like Sikhote
Alin. That was my observation of it based on the photos that the seller
provided. Now, if it is a new fall and in fact a meteorite (iron) then the
sale price of $12,500 is a deal indeed. Even a 127 lb Sikhote Alin at that
price is a steal.

As for cutting this specimen to make a determination, that is no big deal.
If is an iron, a simple piece of about 20 grams etched will satisfy the
question that you raised to the list. "meteorite or meteorwrong"

As for its origin or site origin that would take other tests, and that is no
big deal either. UCLA I am sure would do that determination.
