Hello List,

I am offering up some older specimens from my collection, several that
have not been offered in many years and some, I believe, have never
been offered before publically.


1. Whitecourt, Canada- This 21.42 gram specimen was obtained during my
trip with Rob Wesel and Mike Bandli to the crater. It was sold by Mike
Bandli and has been through several collections before ending up back
in mine. This specimen shows many of the great features that the
Whitecourt meteorite is known for. The price of this specimen is $110.
