Thank you Mark.
And to clarify things for brand-new List-members, the IMCA (International  
Meteorite Collectors Association) was created a few years ago just for this  
purpose.
The IMCA's primary mission is Authenticity, and members are bound, as  
condition of membership, to sell only Authentic Meteorites.  Errors can  happen, but 
must be corrected immediately. And the Board reserves the right to  ask that 
a questionable specimen be tested by a Lab of the Board's choosing.  
Any questions, just ask!!

Meteorite comes back 'home'
CARL LINDQUIST 
The York Dispatch (Pennsylvania)
May 4, 2007
A diamond-shaped, two-pound piece of the only meteorite ever found in
York County has returned home for the 100-year anniversary of its discovery.
Found in 1907 about 7 miles north of the Shrewsbury borough line, the
entire meteorite weighed about 24 pounds, said Bill Kreiger, a professor
of Earth Sciences and Science Education at York College.
Dubbed the "Shrewsbury Meteorite," it was cut into several pieces that
were distributed to museums and other institutions across the world.
As a boy, Kreiger learned of the meteorite's existence. For the last few
decades he has worked on-and-off to bring a piece back here and display
it, he said.
In mid-April he got a slice of it from The Academy of Natural Sciences
in Philadelphia. A showing is set for Sunday afternoon in New Freedom
between noon and 2 p.m. at the Rose Volunteer Fire Co., 200 E. Main St.
Best left: "It's the best of all the specimens," Kreiger said. "It's
very valuable."
Kreiger hopes a glimpse of something that originated from outside Earth
will take people's minds away from their day-to-day frustrations and give
them a more philosophical look at the world and its tumult.
Only eight meteorites have ever been found in Pennsylvania, Kreiger
said. The remains of so-called falling or shooting stars, most
meteorites -- about 18,000 of the more than 25,000 known examples --
have been found in Antarctica.
Kreiger said the Shrewsbury Meteorite is composed almost entirely of
nickel and iron, which indicate that it likely came from the core of a
disintegrated planet or moon, or one that didn't form completely.
While it's been here, Kreiger said, it is stored under lock and key in a
local bank.
The public will not be able to hold the meteorite, which Kreiger said
will be kept in a "case-within-a-case" for display.
Scientists generally figure that meteorite's lose about 90 percent of
their mass during entry, which means the Shrewsbury Meteorite probably
weighed about 240 pounds as a meteor, he said.

I recently purchased a 797 gram Ghubara with the intent of  making one 50mm 
sphere and then slicing the rest up for resell.
I received it today but unfortunately it is not thick enough to produce a 
50mm sphere, so I will have to return it to the seller.
This was a big disappointment since I really like the way it looks so now I 
will have to try to find another source for this material.
If you have a piece that you think will be large enough to produce a 50mm 
sphere please email me directly at bobadebt _at_ ec.rr.com
If you have a piece that is too large but have no way to cut it we can work 
something out, since I have a large saw and can cut specimens up to 5 inches 
thick.
Thanks

Just got done putting some windows in my maybe pile,
from my last hunt. If I'm not sure it is a meteorite
in the field, I put them in my back pocket, to window
them later (learned that from Ruben).
It payed off.

Greensburg, Kansas was hit with a tornado about an hour ago.  There is seven 
miles of damage thrown around highway 54, around the downtown district.  The 
hotal/diner is gone, the water tower is gone, the Big Well where the 1,000 
lb. Brenham meteorite is/was located was hit....along with all the buildings 
around it.  The main farming dealer lot was destroyed.  Basically everything 
that was anything in Greensburg was hit.
I hope our Greensburg neighbors make it through the night, and that the 
meteorite is intact.
This is pretty bad, glad I don't chase them anymore.

The damage total is not known, no power in the region is making 
communication hard, but the storm has finally died down.  It had a rain 
jacket all around it so it could not be seen well.  No one can know how many 
torandos it spawned.
Greensburg took the majority of the damage. Dozens and dozens of homes where 
totally destroyed, about 60% of the town. The high school, the city jail, 
the hotal/diner, the hostiptal, pretty much every city buidling. Everything 
on the west side of main street. You can go for a few miles, in what was the 
busiest section of the little town and the only thing that was left standing 
in the grain tower (which is ironic I guess).
>From what I can tell on the damage it did, it appears to have landed about 2 
miles east of where Steve found the big Brenham. Haviland has a Red Cross 
section set up where people are being sent.
100's of rescue workers are on the scene. Injuries are unknown, at least 50 
are at area hosptials, no confirmed deaths, which is good and amazing in 
itself, but it is very early.
The storm lasted six hours but has died down.

Hi List,
Could someone kindly explain the significance of the '70's in reference to
the chondritic meteorite in the latest Spider-man movie?  (The only thing I
can imagine re: the 70's is bad Peter Parker acted like 'The Fonz' around
women.)  Was the black ooze troilite, a mutated Lawrencite Disease with
spidery diffusion, or just a fused marshmallow?
Best wishes and Great Health,
Guilty as Charged,
Doug

Good morning list.I just want to thank the 16 people
who chimed in the last 2 weeks on my gao givies.These
were pieces after looking at them very closely,I
decided that they did not fit what I am doing with my
meteorite gao collection.ONLY 95% FUSION CRUSTED OR
BETTER.I am trying to make my collection MUSEUM
like.So I gave those away because I can,I wanted to
make some people happy,and it is not always about
GETTING.I hope the people that received these and all
my other givies in the past are appreciative.Soem
people just cannot afford the big pieces like I can,so
I do what I can for those who cannot.And for those
people who think what I do is stupid or wrong,you
should try it.It is a nice feeling.Have a great
day.More gao is coming.
