Dear List Members,

I have several exciting auctions listed this week. I lowered the prices on many items, including the very rare Dhofar 700 Vesiculated Diogenite slices. These are below what the ordinary chondrite that fell in West, Texas is going for, go figure. These were prepared at great expense by the best in the business, Montana Meteorite Laboratory. Please note all of the planetary material, some are the very last pieces I have in stock. All of these items and more are definitely worth a look.

All auctions can be found at this link:

PRICE REDUCED: Dhofar 700 Vesiculated Diogenite examples. I temporarily lowered the price to below my costs this week even though last week's prices were extremely reasonable. I did this in order to regain a portion of my enormous investment. Sometimes you win on a particular meteorite and other times you don't. I cannot understand the lack of demand for this beautiful material. It seems collectors are willing to spend over $100.00/gram for an ordinary chondrite that fell in West Texas that is now going for less than $40.00/gram than an ultra rare vesiculated Diogenite priced for less even though this version of Dhofar 700 represents 1/20th the amount of mass. All of these examples were wire cut and polished at great expense by Marlin Cilz - Awesome Finish!
