Hi Friends and Collectors,

A friend of mine who is a fellow collector and was just discharged
from the military, is getting married in September. The expenses for
his wedding are starting to pile up, and he has asked me to help him
liquidate his meteorite collection. There are 133 specimens in total,
and all of them are high quality pieces with solid provenance. There
are stones, irons, and tektites. Most of the specimens are macros,
some are larger hand-specimens, and a few are micromounts. He bought
all of these pieces at full retail and spent nearly $4500 on the lot.
To facilitate a quick sale, I am accepting offers well below the
retail value. This lot would be great for dealer resale or for a
collector who wants to amass a large collection quickly.

Many of the endcuts are half-stones, and almost all of the cut pieces
have been expertly polished. All specimens come with the original ID
cards and any paperwork. Cash or PayPal offers only please. Contact
me off-list to make an offer. This entire group is for sale as one
lot - the pieces are not being sold individually. If there is no
interest in the entire lot, then I may consider breaking the
collection down into smaller lots.

See the list below. Photos are available for serious inquiries.

I also have two nice and very-fresh Katol specimens available. These
were collected before the rains and have no oxidation, One of the
pieces has crust. Use coupon code "metlist" for 20% OFF your entire
website order.
