Greg S. - you're on the same wavelength as me in regards to meteorite
preferences! Although I'm also very fond of carbonaceous chondrites (of
which my favorites are the more exotic primitive types: i.e. Tagish Lake and
Murchison, etc), and out of ordinary chondrites - Ls, LLs, breccias, and the more exotic lesser known types.

I want to become a "type" collector.

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!

Mike and List:

Maybe that's better:

I'm not to big on Irons - only have a few and my first was an Iron.

I favor Achondrites, the more exotic the better - I think it's so neat to see crystals in a meteorite. I also think meteorites without metal are really cool. The bigger the crystals - the better. I favor Mars over Lunars. I have three mars and only one lunar.

It's such a fasinating hobby,

Greg S.
