Dear Listees:

Greetings all. Lots of news to share this week.


EBAY:

For those who are interested I have some particularly nice pieces on
eBay at the moment, with most of them closing tomorrow.

Of note is a gorgeous Sikhote-Alin individual with a natural hole
right in the center:

TUCSON 2009:

For those of you planning on being in Tucson for the 2009 gem show,
please stop by and visit me in Room 230 at the InnSuites. We will be
open from January 31 through February 14. As usual, I will sharing a
showroom with my good friend Anne Black who recently celebrated her
tenth birthday. Oh, actually that was her company, sorry : )
Anyway, many happy returns to Impactika -- ten years in the world's
nuttiest business. Congrats.

Details, hours, Yahoo map yourself to our hotel and so on, here:

As always, Anne and I invite you to join us for wine, refreshments,
music, and generally living the good life every evening at sunset.


Here is our print ad for the 2009 show:

I will be posting more detailed information about the Tucson show, the
big party, etc., shortly.


LIMITED EDITION METEORITE POSTCARD:

Finally, I'd like to share news of a new collectible meteorite
postcard with you. I am a great fan of vintage natural history
illustrations, and I recently created a limited edition Sikhote-Alin
postcard based on Victorian-era hand tinted mineral illustrations. It
is called "Eleven Space Sculptures" and you can learn all about it here:

That's it for today. Enjoy the weekend, and thank you for reading.


Cheers from Tucson, the Meteorite Capital of the World,

Geoff N.
