Dear List Members,

Please note the update on what is still available from
my personal collection. I also loaded my only piece of
the Old Woman iron meteorite found by Action Jackson a
few years back.

Even if you are not in the market, some of these
images are worth enjoying:

Don?t forget to check this week?s auctions!
All of the auctions can be seen at this link:

NEW ITEM ? OLD WOMAN weathered 127gram individual.
Although it has weathered to mainly iron shale, there
are still flecks of metal and it clings tenaciously to
a magnet. I sent a piece to NAU who confirmed the
bandwidth and that it is indeed from the Old Woman
event. I have heard of only one private collector who
has any of this and he paid dearly for it. I will
accept the highest offer:

NININGERS PERSONAL PRINTING PRESS, type sets, supplies
and printing plates. Among the plates are museum
logo, stardust, meteorite, tektite, Christmas, 4
return addresses, museum hours and the famous study
kit. Keep in mind that it will cost around $800.00 to
ship ~700 Lbs of equipment and type sets in the U.S.
including pallet. It really belongs in a museum. I
wanted to keep it in the U.S. is the main reason I
acquired it otherwise it would be overseas right now.
I promised the previous owner I would try to keep the
entire collection together so I am offering this way.
I have been offered $3,200.00 for Nininger?s American
Meteorite Museum logo alone but cannot separate it
from the rest of the collection.

outstanding specimen for sale in the last six years.

please make reasonable offers only.

SOLD - NININGER 5-POINT STAR made from spheroids. Only
about one a year ever comes on the market. I have
over $1,000.00 into a trade on this one. The least I
have ever seen one go for was over $500.00 several
years back. These are in high demand with some
collectors waiting years to acquire one.

MILBILLILLIE ORIENTED EUCRITE from A Witnessed Fall ?
557.5 gram 97% Plus Crusted and Oriented Individual.
Has the added attraction of multiple lip-overs meaning
that it stabilized more than once during its
hypervelocity flight through our atmosphere.

NWA 998 MARTIAN NAKHLITE - .660 gram giant fragment
with outside surface. This is the largest fragment I
have left besides the main mass. The only reason this
is available is that it was dislodged by a
well-respected scientist taking an aliquot from the
main mass for dating purposes.

SOLD - NWA1195 MARTIAN SHERGOTTITE ? 1.212 gram end
cut, the largest intact piece I have left to offer as
the main mass will remain in our collection.

ORIENTED MARTAIN SHERGOTTITE ? 32.3 gram nearly
completed crusted individual with flow-lines. This is
part of the recent discovery that has been on the
market lately. Unlike most dealers, this piece has
been confirmed along with 34 other very small
individuals in my collection by the University of
Washington, a type specimen has been deposited and a
unique number will be assigned when all of the
scientists return from Tucson. In the long run,
official stones are worth far more and it is very
expensive doing the right thing by donating 20% to
science. Please keep this in mind when making an
offer. I have only seen one other oriented stone
from this fall ever offered and it is very difficult
to come up with a complete stone not a fragment. I
will accept the first offer over $400.00 a gram!
