My postal carrier was good to me today:

It’s a 590g (1.3 lb) unclassified stone meteorite from Northwest Africa. I usually collect micros, so this is a big one for me.

Over the past few months, I’ve fallen behind on keeping my collection page updated with photos of my new pieces.  So, today I got caught up on everything!  I’m happy to now own micros of Nakhla and Almahata Sita.  Also, there are some other goodies like Vigarano and NWA 2999.  These meteorites are not for sale.

I recently got a good deal on some Tatahouine meteorites.  This meteorite is both a rare classification (Diogenite) and a witnessed fall, making it highly collectable!  It fell on June 27th, 1931 over Tunisia, where it exploded into thousands of fragments before reaching the surface.  These small fragments are green with an interesting texture and virtually no crust.  Because of this unusual appearance, this meteorite would have likely never been identified if it hadn’t been a witnessed fall.

Here’s a photo of the batch I recently acquired (click to enlarge):

I put several of these Tatahouine meteorites into my eBay store today, so take a look if you’re interested.

I’ve been collecting meteorites on and off for roughly 10 years now.  For most of that time, I wasn’t very interested in tektites.  More recently, though, I’ve been acquiring meteorites and related material for resale.  In the process, some nice tektites have passed through my hands – and as a result, I’ve really grown to appreciate them.

As the moment, my meager collection of impact glass consists of one moldavite, one piece of Libyan Desert Glass, and a few indochinites.  I wish I could keep some more, but I’m patient.  My collection will grow with time.  For now, I enjoy admiring the pieces that I sell.

Below is a little gallery of moldavite pics I took today.  They photograph really well!  All of these pieces were added to the store today.
