Some people get Coal for Christmas.....
#4964725 - 12/13/11 01:38 PM

I got rocks... space rocks

I just put in my order for a small set of very nice meteorites from Galatic Stone. Mike was awesome to work with.

I can't wait to get them. I will post pictures after Christmas.

Fuuny thing is, I knew Helder seemed familiar from someplace outside of Facebook, but I couldn't place where.

Now I know, it's Cloudy Nights!

I guess it's a symptom of how much time I have been spending on Facebook, and how little I have been on CN lately.

Helder - I'm gonna hook you up.

My current collection of 3 new meteorites. All these were acquired from http://www.kdmeteorites.com/ (just wanted to drop a shout out, as Dana and Keith were great to deal with).

I went nuts and ordered some more, so hopefully by January the collection will grow. I also have nice samples coming from Mike @ http://www.galactic-stone.com/ those should be coming in tomorrow.

Now, how beautiful are they? Nice acquisitions (books included), Helder. Keep sharing with us.

p.s. Where is your unclassified and the other Canyon Diablo?

Hi Davio,

My son took the other meteorites. He wants them in his room.

The Campo is incredible. It really is beautiful as is the Pallasite. I'll post more as soon as I get them, I am going to order some smaller Riker cases and put each specimen into a Riker case.

Make sure you keep us informed on your new meteorites. It's very inspirational and encouraging to us all.

Dario,

I went crazy and pretty much purchased a whole set with iron slices and stonies. I also got a set of riker boxes to display my samples, a cm cube, dehumidifier and loupe. I also got Mike order in yesterday and they are beautiful. I'll post those after Chistmas.

Those magnets are fun. And they can be used to detect minute quantities of metal.

I'll hook you up the next time around to make up for it.

And let me know how those stabilized specimens stand up to the other irons and pallasites when it comes to oxidation. Every time I see a batch of these go out, I'm curious to see how they stand up. I've sent them to all four corners of the world, and no rust yet.

And my shelf. I currently share the office with my daughter as my in-laws are in, but it will be better set-up when they leave after new years. I am going to move each piece to its own Riker Box, plus the new ones I have on order, it will make a nice display.

[Re: Paul G]
#4987109 - 12/27/11 03:08 PM

Hi Paul,

The 2 books are:

Meteorites by Caroline Smith and Meteorites a journey through space

The Caroline book is a small history of meteorites, its a quick read and gives some basic information. I would tell you to skip it. Its a quick read, but written for high school level.

The Journey book is a much more detailed account and pretty much gives one the basics of meteorites. Its not a college level book, but gives you enough details and some cools facts (like why most Meteorites fall at 4PM), that I would recommend it.

Neither are authoritative works, if some one could recommend one of the those, I would appreciate it.

BTW I get a large package tomorrow. I'll post pictures

when I can.

The collection grows new

[Re: csa/montana]
#5023606 - 01/17/12 08:42 PM Attachment (15 downloads)

Hello,

My name is Helder and I am meteorite collector.

My collection grows, first off, I got 2 new books. Rocks from Space (still reading) and IMO everyone that has an interest in meteorites should have this book.

The second is Falling Stars (by Mike Reynolds) and its a quick read, nice stories, but I finished it in 1 night. If your teenage kid is interested in Meteorites, I recommend it.

I also ordered labels and a 20 and 40X loupe.

I also got the Ikea case to store my collection, in a week or 2 I will get everything in place and move my collection.

A couple new ones are coming including: Glorieta siderite, Toluca fragment, Odessa individual, Bassakanou and Gao.

Really wanted a Glorieta Pallasite but they are expensive. I think these will be my last major purchases for a while. We did good at work so I got a bonus, the majority of it went toward my wife (she got 3 rocks also and a piece of metal) but a little bit was for my hobbies.

Size: 9.7 Grams

The Glorieta was found by Ruben Garcia (you can read all about it here ). I purchased this specimen from Ruben (along with several others including the Odesa, Toluca, Seycham, Mundrabilia). While not a Pallasite, it is a really nice looking piece. It looks like the head of Ram.

I have a small (46 gram) Sikhote Alin coming in, this is not a fragment, it has nice regoliths. After that I don't have anything on order.

I was thinking a Franconia Iron (its a H Type and only 1, the Franconia is available) but they are small. Or maybe an Imilac fragment. Maybe a kilo Campo? Maybe a Gujba.....

So many specimens, so little money

Any recommendations?

I took the Glorieta under the microscope and there is a piece of Olivine sticking out(too small to see with the naked eye) but its there and its a beautiful golden Yellow color, so my siderite is actually a Pallasite !

I have always considered the Sikhote at the top as far as favorites go. I have 5 in mt collection. The biggest is 481 grams with flow lines and" REGMAGLYPTS" in them like yours.
You call it a shrapnel look but I like to refer them as a tortured look also.

NWA 6953 new

[Re: Dick Lipke]
#5181423 - 04/20/12 09:19 AM Attachment (21 downloads)

Got a new one.

Name: NWA 6953

Type: Stony/Iron
Group: Mesosiderite
Structural Classification: ??
Location Found: Morroco
Size: 4 Grams

From Galatic-Stone: "Northwest Africa 6953 is an interesting new mesosiderite whose unique nature is a result of its composition and the collective effects of long-term terrestrial weathering. The metal content in NWA 6953 has experienced dramatic alteration and has almost entirely been replaced with the iron oxyhydroxide goethite. But it’s not the oxidation or alteration alone that makes this meteorite fascinating. Studying how the iron oxidation process takes place on Earth in NWA 6953, a predominantly orthopyroxene-rich meteorite, may have huge implications for comparing how iron oxidation may take place in aqueous environments on other alien worlds. More importantly, studying this meteorite can potentially reveal clues as what to look for in discovering other highly terrestrialized meteorites that until now have mostly gone unnoticed."

Yours is a lot bigger than mine. I think this maybe my last purchase for a while. I want to get a new CCD for imaging so I am going to save up for that.

Helder, you now have a collection that is to be envied!

Fantastic specimens, & a beautiful case to store them.

I've slowed way down on buying meteorites, as other things, much more essential are demanding those $$$; but I will resume soon!

Thanks Carol,

I actually sold a couple of eyepieces, telescopes and other gear that I wasn't using to get a lot of specimens. I also traded several with Mike for different specimens, and I used the bulk of my hobby budget to get what I have now. Now if the weather would clear up, lately all I can do is solar imaging.

Awesome images, Helder!

Starting this Fall/Winter, I want to start upgrading some of my very small specimans to larger ones.

Helder,
Awesome images. What equipment were you using?

Note: A little off topic so I won't ask another related question.

I was using a Lunt 60MM Pressure Tuned scope with a 50MM Double Stack. The camera is a DMK41. The below was a better one from 7/1.

I know this is way off topic but that H alpha image is just incredible! One of these days I am going to have to take the plunge and buy a dedicated solar scope. Okay back to meteorites...

Hi Helder,
Some really nice specimens... I enjoy seeing all your new meteorite collection additions. I only wish other members would post photographs of their specimens so we can enjoy their new additions (or old favorites).

I agree; but mine are micro specimens, so photos really don't matter.

Carol,
Some nice close-ups would be nice to see. I still believe size doesn't matter...

Here's a 0.363 gram D'Orbigny. Small but very beautiful...

It would take a lot more magnification than what my camera's macro has.
