As always, use coupon code "metlist" at checkout for 20% OFF your entire order! If you have any problems with the coupon code or checkout, email me for a prompt reply. ANNOUNCEMENTS : #1 - I have added a "Christmas Ideas" category to the store. This category contains items ranging from $5 to $500. These items would make great gifts or stocking stuffers for the science-nerd or astronomy-geek in your family. I will be adding new offerings to this category right up until the last minute before Christmas. #2 - As some of you have already noticed, I am making an effort to be much quicker with my shipping times. Have confidence that orders placed from now through Christmas will be shipping on the same business day or the next. #3 - I just received a new shipment of small Riker boxes. If there is a specimen you want to present in a Riker box, you can now add a Riker display to any specimen you purchase. Christmas Ideas category - http://www.galactic-stone.com/products/christmas-ideas For those of you who are type-collectors, or who collect Vestan (HEDO) meteorites, these are heady times. In the last two months, we have seen several new and exciting Vestan meteorites emerge on the market. Many of these new HEDO meteorites have been classified and made available thanks to Gary Fujihara and John Higgins. These two fine gentlemen and friends of mine have unleashed a wave of new diogenites, howardites and eucrites. For those of you who are seeking LARGE specimens of these new meteorites, please contact Gary or John. But for those of you on a limited budget, I have a wide range of micromount and macromounts available. In keeping with the recent theme of new Vestans, there is another brand-new diogenite straight from the camel's back. NEW OFFERS and HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS WEEK : NWA 6290 - a fascinating new brecciated diogenite that is unlike any I have ever seen. I have seen red diogenites, green diogenites, and white diogenites. But this is the first orange-brown diogenite that I have encountered that has shiny black veins and metal fleck. This meteorite takes a high polish that shows off bands/streaks of inclusion material and polycrystalline clasts. There are also nickel-poor metal inclusions, olivine, and troilite. This new meteorite has a modest TKW of only 1kg, so it is not going to be on the market for very long before it's sold out and absorbed into collections. I have some polished slices, endcuts and micromounts available.
