Hi Listees!

I was one of the lucky few to pounce on Michael Cottingham's recent
eBay offerings of West. I kept a couple of fragments for myself,
and I need to unload the rest. I have 4 micromounts of West
available, and a copy of the West News from February 26th with
Doug Dawn and the meteor story on the front page.

The four West micromounts come in a glass vial, which is then
inside a labelled 1.25" gemjar. Also included is a copy of the
original specimen card.

Refer to the photos. Two of the photos show the original lot of
fragments I bought and the West Newspaper. A third photo shows
the individual micromounts I am selling.

Here are the weights for the micros -

1) 23mg (shows metal fleck)
2) 17mg (with some black crust)
3) 12mg (virgin gray matrix, no visible oxidation)
4) 10mg of tiny fragments and dust. (a few metal flecks)

Asking $10 each, which includes shipping to anywhere in the CONUS.
Overseas and Canada are $12 shipped, each.

PayPal preferred, and PayPal only for Canadian or Overseas buyers.

The West News is complete and in excellent condition with a single
crease from being folded. The meteorite story continues on the
inside. Asking $20 shipped in a Priority Envelope in the CONUS,
and $26 Canada or Overseas. Buyer the newspaper with one of
the micromounts above and get both for $25 shipped. ($30 Canada/Overseas)
