Dear Collectors:
This is just a single meteorite (but multiple specimens) offering of Henbury individuals. I got some of these from a collector in California who bought them years ago. He has been trimming his collection a bit in recent years and these were some of the items he trimmed. I got a batch of these back in the later part of last year and had planned on putting them on my early new year mailed/ e-mailed catalog. However, I quickly sold most of the specimens in that batch (particularly the larger pieces) so I was left with far to few pieces to put on a mailed, major offering. I talked with the guy I got those from to see if I could get more. The answer was ‘yes” but it turned out that, as before, I could get far to few pieces to put Henbury on one of my main catalogs. So, I am offering these here. All are superior quality specimens that are not only far larger than the usual Henbury pieces I have had over the years but also far superior in having sculpted shapes. I probably don’t really need to say this, but these are all “one of a kind”, I have no replacement pieces for any size of the listed specimens.
HENBURY, Australia: Medium Octahedrite (IIIAB). Found 1931.
Here is a selection of fantastic natural, as found individuals. I got these from a collector that purchased them many years ago. He had quite an eye for quality. These all have fantastic shapes – far better than 95% or more of the Henbury specimens I have seen over the years. These are all “one of a kind” (I know, I am repeating some things that I have said above, but many folks don’t read the “Dear collectors part at all – just jump right to the offering. That is NOT a bad thing though) so I have no replacements for any of these pieces. Once one is sold it is sold, unfortunately. If you have ever wanted a larger really nice Henbury specimen in your collection, don’t hesitate on one of these. In recent years, I have seen very few larger pieces like this and they have been not nearly as nice as these and usually a bit more expensive. As usual, I tried to get a good photo of these (in good daylight/ sunshine – something that has been in short supply around here lately) but we never have much luck getting the fine sculpting features to show (3-D item not translating well to 2-D, partially (mostly?) due to our lack of real photography skills) so I assure you these look better in person that in my photo.

Overseas prices have gone up A LOT the past couple years. Now small overseas orders are around $15 (Canada seems to be right around $11). I’ll have to custom quote any larger items/ orders (both local and overseas). Registration (recommended on more valuable overseas orders) is $16.
I do have a fax machine that seems to work (but I have to answer it and manually turn it on), so overseas people can contact me that way if they must. However, for overseas orders, it probably is best to go ahead and use my brmeteorites@yahoo.com e-mail when possible.
