Aloha,

The Big Kahuna's regular weekly eBay auctions will end Saturday, August 28, starting at 8:58am Pacific / 11:58am Eastern / 4:58pm London / 6:58pm Helsinki / 11:58pm Singapore (http://shop.ebay.com/fujmon/m.html). A few of the 36 items up on the block this week:

* Breja fall stone 194g complete individual
At 3:00 am May 19, 2010 in the area of Breja, 35km north of Tindouf and east of Zag, many people witnessed a very bright bolide accompanied by a sonic boom and fragmentation event. These chondrites have very fresh, velvety black fusion crusts, with a light matrix with some metal inclusions visible through the crust, and very low magnetic susceptibility. Up for auction is a 194g complete individual of this fall, at a starting bid considerably lower than my initial offer. You don't see much of this material on the market ... except here! Bid now or Buy it Now. Just don't miss out on this opportunity to own one of he newest falls on earth!

* NWA x possible rumurutiite 2.86g, 5.96g full slices
A 155g stone was purchased from Morocco in July 2010, and appears visually to be an R-chondrite with well defined chondrules and exotic clasts set in a mustard brown matrix. All slices come in a quality labeled display box with COA, and once approved a new COA with label will be mailed at no extra cost.
