Dear List Members,

In the spirit of the Holidays, I would like to try something fun and offer a
few select meteorites, including a new Lunar that has never been offered
publicly. Here is how this special will work:

Rock - I have several great 'meteorites' listed below.
Paper - Make me a 'cash' offer, and if acceptable...
Scissors - ... I will 'cut' you a great deal!

NEW!! - Shisr 161 Lunar - Fragmental Breccia (TKW 57.2g, unpaired)
* This is the first time this meteorite has been offered publicly, in fact
only one part slice has been sold to a particular Lunatic friend overseas.
** These are the only specimens that will be offered. I am presenting these
for the owner, Best Offer over reserve (Please email for reserve).

Ted Bunch stated in October, 2008:
"Greg - probably one of the biggest (CAI's) that I have seen. We did years
of work on
Allende that had a few whoppers like this one, but we looked at over 1000 sg
cm of slices in addition to 6 individuals, the largest was 10 kg. So, you in
one stone have the big Kahona. Sometimes your luck amazes me!"
