Greetings Collectors and Listees!

I have some new specimens available, including some nice uNWA stony
meteorites that are good hand specimens - these aren't all weathered
up and covered in caliche. And they don't have an ugly side hiding
away from the camera. All are covered in a glossy, wind-polished,
desert varnish. They have that nice dark patina and some have patches
of remnant fusion crust. These are mostly H-chondrites, so they are
strongly attracted to a magnet. These are great to pass around as
teaching or outreach props. Sizes range from about 15 grams up to 80+
grams. I also bulk lots of small stones available in 100g lots and
larger.

I have some very nice little Gao Guenie slices. These are have a
complete ring of fusion crust around the edges and nice flat cut faces
that show tons of metal fleck and a fresh matrix. These are
thumbnail-sized specimens that come in a labelled 1.25" gemjar.

I have one polished part-slice of La Criolla (witnessed fall 1985).
It weighs .5 gram and it has been polished to 1500 grit. It shows a
black shock vein, metal fleck, and a beautiful matrix for a small
piece. This is the only one I have -

last piece I have -
