I'd like to invite you to view some gorgeous, oriented, fully-crusted Millbillillies. These are some of the nicest stones I've ever seen. They're not cheap but they are spectacular. Some of them have radiating flowlines that are extraordinary. These specimens came from an Australian colleague of mine, who acquired them at the site from one of the finders. He's been sitting on them for years, and I just got hold of them very recently. Even if you're not shopping, please check out the photos. These little guys were tough to shoot and are really worth seeing: http://www.aerolite.org/millbillillie.htm The now-famous "Green Brenham" which Steve and I excavated during the fall of 2005 is nearly sold out. Allan Lang prepared the slices for me, and we were both rather happily stunned to discover that the mass was composed entirely of green crystals. These slices are stable, and packed with bright olive and emerald-green crystals. I have a few very nice quarter slices left, and that's it. All of my Brenham pallasite specimens come with the following: - Custom 5 x 7 color print of the mass prior to cutting - Signed, custom 5 x 7 color print of yours truly standing in the excavation pit holding the entire mass - Signed, limited edition postcard of Steve Arnold with his 3/4-ton Brenham - Signed, full-color 8 1/2 x 11 Certificate of Authenticity from the Brenham Meteorite Company (including find coordinates) - Hand made specimen ID card Photos: http://www.aerolite.org/brenham.htm This actual Brenham was featured in the cover story of the February, 2006 issue of "Meteorite" magazine, "Field of Dreams: Rediscovering the Brenham Pallasite," so it has a unique provenance. I'll throw in a photocopy of the article if requested. I also have a few superb Brenham siderite slices left, with a dazzling etch pattern and wild schribersite inclusions. There were prepared by Mike Miller, and if you want BIG Brenham siderite slices, talk to Mike, as he prepared some for himself, from a larger mass and they are excellent. Next up: super-excellent Campo del Cielo irons with natural holes, oriented specimens, and some extra-special highly sculptural pieces that are AAA quality, and surely the best in this size range I've ever come across. Photos here: http://www.aerolite.org/iron-meteorites.htm Scroll down to where it says "CAMPO DEL CIELO ? Premium Specimens" New Libyan Desert Glass, including a few pristine gem quality specimens: http://www.aerolite.org/impactites.htm Oh yes, and here's the first of a new line of sterling silver-wrapped moldavite and tektite jewelry with Herkimer diamonds. Custom made for me by Crystal Spirit: http://www.aerolite.org/meteorite-jewelry.htm I've carried out a lot of other site updates as well. Main catalogue is here: http://www.aerolite.org/meteorites-for-sale.htm Yes, we have been very busy. BONUS! I will throw in a free multi-region (will play anywhere in the world) DVD copy of our recent "Cash & Treasures" meteorite hunting show with any order placed by midnight, PST, Sunday.
