Dear List,
        Ruben has placed a spectacular specimen in the auction. It's
Information is extensive and got an entire page for itself.

This meteorite is unique because it has the distinction of having a starring
role in the upcoming motion picture called ?Heaven Strewn?. Heaven Strewn
was filmed on location last year in Hollywood, L.A. and Trona California.

The movie premieres in March 2011. Included in the auction is a copy of the
movie Newspaper(6 were made) & a Meteorite Magazine with Ruben Garcia & his
Dog ?Hopper? on the cover - which also appeared in the movie.

The movie revolves around two separate ?gangs of thugs?. The meteorite makes
its appearance when one of the members of the Mexican gang inadvertently
picks it up ?while in the desert - and throws it through the window of the
rival gang?s vehicle. The rest is history as the meteorite is later
identified as a rare ataxite meteorite worth over $126,000. The L.A.
Chronicle newspaper picks up the story (LA Chronicle is a fictional
newspaper made for the movie and is included in the auction) and runs
headlines that read ?Local Man Discovers Meteorite Valued At Over $126,000!?

Items submitted together for auction:

1. 1,274 gram CD meteorite from movie
2. Meteorite Magazine from the movie
