I'll have to keep an eye out for some smaller micro-sized pieces of this "solar fall". It sounds like a must-have for collectors of rarities. I do recall that this fall is not one you see alot, so I can confirm it is pretty rare on the collector's market. Regards and clear skies, MikeG PS - you'll know if I ever acquire/sell something like that, because I'll celebrate by purchasing 150mm AP Starfire. -------------------- Michael Gilmer - Member of the Meteoritical Society & Collector of Falling Stars.
