Fellow Meteorite Enthusiasts,
This is my first SALE since my computer crashed last February.

I have some TERRIFIC specimens today ? some marked down so low no one who
wants some of the material will be able to pass it up. SALE prices range
from 25% to 65% off depending on my cost and whether it can be replaced at
any price - combined with an urgent need for immediate cash.

NOTE: PHENOMENAL DEAL ON D'ORBIGNY!

All hammer specimens are from the Hammer Stone, itself, not just
The hammer fall.

I must raise money immediately, so, if you want something you would
otherwise pass on, you can even make me an offer. Though I have set prices
so LOW already, if no one buys a particular item before Tuesday, I will
consider offers tendered.

        First to contact me will get the specimen, so, if you have 2 of the
same type, please mention first preference as well as others you would take,
if any.

BOVEDY April 25, 1969 (L3) Londonderry, N. Ireland Crashed through a
STORE ROOF.
The fireball was mostly described as blue-green in colour over Wales, and
"fiery-white" in Northern Ireland, with a brightness equal to or brighter
than the full moon. Everyone who saw the meteoroid also saw a very clear
tail in its wake. Fragmentation was clearly seen by a number of observers.
Subsequent press reports of scorching of the asbestos roof and desks in the
immediate vicinity of the meteorite fragments have been discounted, from
the evidence collected.
This being a hammer with a very low TKW, a beautiful(L3) AND only the
Second meteorite from Ireland and the first fall ever wound recorded has
made it VERY difficult to get:

ASH CREEK HAMMER STONE ? Hit HOUSE
When the meteorite fell, a man sitting at his kitchen table heard something
strike his roof. He thought it was a small tree limb. However, when he went
out to his car, there was a black stone, which upon closer examination was
engrained with shingle grit from his roof. He later found the damaged
shingle on the roof and had to replace it.

WORDEN September1, 1997 (L5) Worden, Michigan -
Struck a GARAGE & CAR
Mr. Foster and his two sons were working in the backyard of their home in
Worden, located in Eastern Michigan. They heard a loud and sudden noise like
that of a car crash. They rushed to their front yard and discovered a
disaster had occurred in their own garage. Plaster and insulation could be
seen everywhere & day light shone through a hole in the roof. The car roof
had been smashed in by a stone from outer space.
