Hello list members, we are very sorry to have missed all of you at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show this year. Patrick and I will be back next year and we are planning to share our room with Keith and Dana Jenkersen to cut down on the cost of doing Tucson.
I have a leg injury from 36 years ago that needs repair. The procedure is costly but doctors say that recovery means at least 6 to 9 months laying flat with the leg elevated. So it?s the time off that will really cost the big bucks.
As a result we are selling some high profile specimens and personal collections that will help afford this time off. Most of these items will be listed on EBay. Included in the offerings is the meteorite book collection. The library collection has grown more extensive in recent years adding several classics including a first edition Chladni. The price for this offering is lower than ever with a ?Make Offer? feature. If the book collection doesn?t sell then we will sell them individually on our new web site meteoritebooks.com. Please look for that site opening soon.
Also being offered for sale on Ebay for the first time is the entire Edwin Thompson meteorite thin section collection. This collection should be attractive to universities and other research institutions as well as private collectors and dealers. The slides are rectangles but any or all can be easily polished into rounds (as needed for probe stages). There are 1000 thin sections in the collection. It is featured on EBay right now. Please write if you have any questions or to request a complete list of any collection. Again, if this collection does not sell on Ebay then the slides will be offered individually on our soon to open site; etmeteorites.com.

Thanks very much to everyone in Tucson who signed the card that Fred Olsen sent from Tucson. It was really fun to get and we got lots of laughs from everything said on the huge card. Thanks to all who wrote emails or called by phone. All of the pictures sent made it feel like we were there. It is soooo nice to know that we are missed for our nightly marguerites, ha!
Hope to see you all next Tucson show on two good legs.


Cheers, Edwin

P.S. Patrick is in West, Texas hunting and finding meteorites right now and for the next three days. If you want to call him to see how he is doing you can reach him at: 503-807-2578 mobile
