LIST 250
April, 2022

Dear Collectors,
Part of me thought about not even doing this offering. I skipped last year’s “Spring List” (no ensuing disaster happened) and I have been having considerable trouble getting things bought, studied and prepared to put on these lists. Oddly, I am really short the cheap, ordinary chondrites at the moment. I have looked into getting some studied but most (all?) the research folks are absolutely buried/ back-logged right now. I did send some off to my usual research folks and then found out that they have some 800 (!!!) meteorites ahead of me. Mine might be some years out before they get looked at. Anyway, this shortage of “New” material (and the difficulties of getting affordable, interesting specimens these days), along with the fact that Tucson was SOOO good sales-wise I really, really had considered dropping this Spring offering once again this year. It is usually one of my slowest sales-wise (taxes, upcoming family vacations more on collector’s minds?) and putting this out does potentially jeopardize my ability to put a Fall/ After Denver offering together. However, I have had SO Many calls and e-mails from people asking “when are you sending out a new list” I figured I had better go ahead and make one.

 

SAINT-AUBIN, France: Iron. Fine octathedrite. (IIIAB). Found 1968. Tkw = 472kg.
Here are some nice, etched on both sides, part slices. I picked these up in Tucson just a couple months ago. Originally, 5 pieces of this meteorite were found by farmers plowing. Original research had this meteorite listed as an “ungrouped” iron. More recent work shows that it is actually a high Nickel (at around 11.5%), high Gold (still parts per billion – no mining possibilities here), low Iridium member of the (IIIAB) group. This meteorite contains lots of Phosphorous. It has two related Fe/Ni Phosphate minerals (Sarcopside and Graphtonite) as well as large Schreibersite blades up to 6cm long.
Part slices, etched on both sides:
a) 10.0 grams - 23mm x 22mm x 2.5mm - $40
b) 20.0 grams - 34mm x 26mm x 3mm - $75
c) 30.0 grams - 44mm x 23mm x 3mm - $105
d) 44.1 grams - 45mm x 45mm x 3mm - $145

 

NWA (4851): Ordinary chondrite. (L6), S3, W1. Found 2007. Tkw = 6.3+ kilograms.
I offered this nice, quite fresh meteorite on a list in the past and it proved quite popular (and still sells well when I put out the occasional sample at shows). I had only a few largish pieces until I saw that the person I originally got them from (back in 2007) had another kilo or so of pieces in Denver last year (his initial asking price was higher than I have these priced here). I bought them and now they are being offered here. I generally try not to “duplicate” stuff I have offered earlier BUT, as mentioned above, I am running low on “common” chondrites I can put on these lists and this is nice stuff and will likely be of interest to collectors that have come along since I last offered this material nearly 15 years ago. These are nice individuals and cut fragments. The individuals are all pretty much complete (only the largest piece would be the exception). The cut fragments are all one of a kind, with the smallest pieces being really fresh (ask for a group photo of either the individuals or the cut fragments if interested).
Individuals:
a) 52.8 grams - 32mm x 30mm x 22mm - $70
b) 80.9 grams - 47mm x 35mm x 25mm - $100
c) 122.3 grams - 40mm x 37mm x 35mm - $145
d) 213.1 grams - 55mm x 47mm x 37mm - $235

Cut fragments: all are “one of a kind”.
a) 20.0 grams - 35mm x 30mm x 10mm - $35
b) 47.0 grams - 55mm x 40mm x 10mm - $70
c) 68.7 grams - 60mm x 40mm x 12mm - $95
d) 145.5 grams - 70mm x 60mm x 13mm - $200
e) 276.9 grams - 75mm x 60mm x 5mm - $345 – actually an end piece.

TSAREV, Russia: Ordinary chondrite. (L5). Found 1968, Tkw = 1131kg.
This meteorite was first found in 1968 but was not recognized until 1979. It has been suggested that this fell on December 6, 1922 though my personal belief is that the weathering shows otherwise (but then, it was 46 years and if it is a high ground moisture area….). I have had pieces of this meteorite in the past, but it has been quite some time. Regardless, many of these pieces are a bit different. Most of the slices I have had of this meteorite in the past had pretty a pretty typical L5 appearance;lots of metal grains in a dark matrix, and many (but not all) of the smallest piece here look this way. However, many of the larger specimens (31g and above) show clear impact melt effects. The somewhat “normal” looking areas show lots of shock induced veining. Then there areas showing large scale clear shock melting and flowing (a few slices have what look to be thin almost all glass shock veins). An interesting meteorite with interesting stories to tell.
Slices:
a) 4.3 grams - 22mm x 17mm x 3mm - $14
b) 7.9 grams - 33mm x 25mm x 3mm - $25
c) 15.9 grams - 38mm x 36mm x 3mm - $48
d) 31.5 grams - 92mm x 55mm x 3mm - $93
e) 63.9 grams - 85mm x 80mm x 3mm - $180 complete, ½ shock melt.
f) 117.9 grams - 120mm x 95mm x 3mm - $325 – complete slice.

 

NWA (13382): Ordinary chondrite. (L3) S2, W1. Found: Before February 2016. Tkw = 875.0 grams.
A single stone was purchased from a Moroccan dealer during the 2016 Tucson Show. This stone showed an interesting large (4cm plus) dark clast on its surface. Cutting showed many well-formed chondrules, fresh metal in a finer grained matrix along with a large dark gray/ black melt rock clast. Research work indeed showed that this was the case. The bulk of this stone is an L3 and the large gray clast is a melt-rock clast. I only cut a few pieces off of this stone such that each resulting piece has a good sized piece of this melt rock inclusion. As such, all the pieces listed below are strictly “one of a kind”.
a) 24.0 gram slice – 60mm x 45mm x 4mm - $40 melt clast roughly 30mm x 20mm.
b) 112.9 gram end piece – 75mmx 52mm x 14mm - $140 – melt clast 30mmx 17mm.
c) 660.3g end piece/main mass – 80mm x 50mm x 50mm - $595 – melt clast 40mm x 40mm.

NWA (5423): Rumurutiite. (R3.8), S2, W5. Found before February 2008. Tkw = 1120 grams.

It has been quite awhile since I have had an R-chondrite on a mailed list. Frankly, its been quite awhile since I have been offered a new “out of the field” piece either (I have had a few slices of known ones come in as part of collection purchases). Matt and I got this 10 plus years ago and I set it aside and kind of forgot it. Most of this was quite weathered and would fragment when cutting. I managed to cut one solid piece into some nice solid slices. This has a color (kind of gray-brown) that is noticeably different from other R’s.
Slices:
a) 1.2 grams - 15mm x 9mm x 3mm - $18
b) 2.6 grams - 25mm x 13mm x 2mm - $39
c) 5.7 grams - 45mm x 20mm x 2mm - $85
d) 11.2 grams - 45mm x 35mm x 2.5mm - $160
e) 20.1 grams - 50mm x 40mm x 3.5mm - $275

NWA (13677): Primitive achondrite. (Winonaite). Found 2020. Tkw = 2.3+ kilograms.
Many pieces of this rare meteorite were found in the same area. Though there are large variations in metal content between various pieces, research work showed that they are all part of the same meteorite. Primitive achondrites (of which Brachinites and Acaplulcotites/ lodranites are members) are a rare type meteorite that have chondritic compositons but have been heated/ melted enough to have an achondritic texture (but not melted enough to change their elemental chemistry). Winonaites appear to be closely related to and likely came from the same parent body as the IAB iron meteorites. I think this is only the second time I have offered a Winonaite on a list. The first time was years (decades?) ago and was (very small) pieces of the actual Winona, Arizona meteorite, the name sake of this group of rare meteorites.
End pieces/ cut fragments:
a) .70 grams - 12mm x 9mm x 3mm - $20
b) 1.40 grams - 13mm x 12mm x 4mm - $40

c) 2.52 grams - 20mm x 12mm x 6mm - $66
d) 5.0 grams - 35mm x 18mm x 5mm - $125
e) 10.8 grams - 31mm x 25mm x 10mm - $270

MICROBIAL MAT: Dresser Formation, North pole dome, Western Australia. 3.49 billion years old.
I had some of these several years ago (May 2016 I believe) and sold out almost immediately (these ancient rock things are very popular with meteorite collectors). I was able to get around 8 more of these since. These are also in the little square 3.5cm on a side plastic “perky box” but are quite a bit larger than the samples I had last time. These are almost twice as big but yet priced the same as the last offering. This time I have also made up a card that has a little more information on these. These are basically fragments of rock that show structures (“microbial-induced sedimentary structures” or MISS) that formed from microbial mats interaction with sediments. These particular samples are currently thought to be the oldest such known – being around 100 million years older than the famous Strelly Pool stromatolites.
Roughly 30mm x 20mm x 10mm fragment in perky box - $50

Please note:
Shipping: For small US orders $5 is now needed. Larger orders are now $16 (insurance is extra if desired – I’ll look it up if you want it). Overseas prices have gone up A LOT the past couple years. Now small overseas orders are now (thanks to yet another recent rate increase) around $17 for small, first-class packages (starts at $43 for Priority). I’ll have to custom quote any larger items/ orders). Registration (recommended on more valuable overseas orders) is $18.

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. How ever, for overseas orders, it probably is best to go ahead and use my brmeteorites@yahoo.com e-mail.

May 6, 2019

I am sending this out in a very rushed way. It is a day earlier than usual and I do not have the photos for this offering yet (will work on that next). This is because I need to hear back ASAP on the question below (Aguas Zarcas). I have folks waiting for my response to their questions (buy now, at what price, make arrangements to go back into the field or not, etc).

New Costa Rica (CM2) Aguas Zarcas:
Nope, I don’t have any at this moment (but Kevin Kichinka has a few pieces he is offering on Meteorite Central I believe). However, we can get more material but it is NOT particularly cheap. I guess what I need to know is how many of you are still wanting a piece of this material and roughly how big of a piece would you be interested in. I am not certain exactly what kind of price we’d be talking (the locals seem to be raising the prices daily) but I’d certainly want to keep it at or below the prevailing prices currently (which I believe are around $100 to $150/g or so right now, but possibly less, particularly on big pieces and certainly on any that were recovered after the first rain). Anyway, if any of you are interested, please let me know. This will help me decide if it is worth shuffling $ around, possibly buying plane tickets, car/ hotel rental, etc.  It seems that I ended up being a few days late when I jumped on the new Cuba fall a couple months ago. For the most part, those that really wanted a piece already had a piece (and didn’t need one from me, even if my price was a tad lower). I just want to avoid making the same mistake (at much higher costs) on this one.

Anyway, here is an offering of things I (mostly) brought home from Tucson. Most of these things are consignments that were left with me. These are expensive things mostly as those are the kinds of things I don’t have a lot of in my own inventory and it is good to have some higher end things on display at the show (hence their being consignments). The owners of these items have been wondering when I was going to offer them: sell them or return them. I have been tied up with “must offer now” things since getting back from Tucson when I have had tome to do an e-mail offering such as this. I guess this is not really any different this time either, come to think of it.

Photos for this list: I will have two associated with this offering but they will have to wait. We have (yet again) more cloudy/ thunderstorm weather and Blake is currently buried in building an emergency “need these yesterday” Ham radio equipment order. I will post the pictures as soon as I have them and will send them directly to any of you wanting them as soon as I get them on my computer. 





ALLENDE, Mexico: Carbonaceous chondrite  (CV3). Fell February 8, 1969.
This is a nice end piece. It is not super, super fresh but nice none the less. In fact, what light weathering this has seems to have only highlighted the chondrules and other interior features. The back- side has a roughly 35mm x 35mm patch of thick primary crust in its center. The remainder is light secondary crust and the usual (for this fall) late fall edge chipping. This comes with a Moritz Karl label.

    86.6 gram end piece – 53mm x 51mm x 15mm - $1300

BASSIKOUNOU, Mauritania. Ordinary chondrite (H5). Fell October 16, 2006.
I am pretty certain that this is a piece I picked up from Karen Rohr when I picked up more of Linton’s collection a couple weeks before going to Tucson (I bough outright the stuff that was cheaper/ more common rather than trying to keep track of it all as consignment). This is a nice complete individual that Linton likely got from me (at least the label that came with it was from me). This is about 50% covered in thick, rounded edges fusion crust/ form with the remainder being still thick but rougher textured secondary crust.

    19.1 gram fully crusted individual – 35mm x 20mm x 16mm - $95

HENBURY, Australia: Medium octahedrite (IIAB). Found 1931.
This is a specimen that Jay Piatek left with me. He didn’t have the price on hand (had to go back and look that up). When he told me, it was a bit of a shock. It is, admittedly, quite high. However, this is indeed a superior specimen. It is one of the nicest Henbury pieces of its size I have ever seen. This is distinctly a shrapnel fragment but it has a wonderful oriented look to it. The “front” has a nice, smooth dome-like shape whereas the back has a distinct torn, bent edges shrapnel look to it (I’ll try and get a picture to send out of the back of this if anyone is seriously interested in this piece). Jay seems to have gotten this from Anne Black as it comes with an Impactika label.

    745.9 gram exceptional natural individual – 130mm x 65mm x 25mm - $2600

NWA (unstudied): Likely (H5) or (H6).
I got this end piece in some kind of trade (for Moldavite or Libyan Glass I think) in Tucson. Kind of wish I had the rest of this meteorite. It is one of the nicest examples of an H chondrite I have seen. This has lots of fresh metal – most of it in the form of the usual blebs scattered throughout, but also has a really nice solid metal vein. The back-side is really interesting as well. It has been highly wind-polished (though there is obvious crust around the edges) such that the metal vein and metal blebs stand out high and have been (naturally) polished to have a shiny metallic look to them. 

    38.9 gram end piece – 48mm x 35mm x 7mm - $40 

  
NWA (7034): Martian, polymict breccia. Found 2011.
Yep, here are the first pieces of ‘Black Beauty” I have ever offered. I remember when Carl Agee (UNM) carried a nice end piece into my room (probably Tucson 2012) and had me run it on my XRF. He stood there with a big grin. To me, this looked like a “typical” moon rock but the XRF read it as Mars! Yep, I got that one right. This was originally called a basaltic breccia, as much of this is composed of fragments of various basalt rocks. However, more interesting things have turned up as researchers have worked on it. Pieces of impact melts, sedimentary rocks (! – our first from Mars) and more have been found so this has been re-classified as a “polymict” (multiple different rock types) breccia. I admit that the prices on these pieces are some fairly large numbers BUT this is, by far, the cheapest per gram I have ever seen this material. These are all natural fragments as found. I have considered (and may yet) buying one of these (likely one of the smaller pieces) getting it wire-sawed in half (any of these should work for that), sell half and put the other half in my collection (I think this is the only type Mars rock I don’t have yet). These come with a Jay Piatek Collection label.

a) 1.24 grams – 18mm x 15mm x 3mm - $3100
b) 1.61 grams – 17mm x 11mm x 5mm - $4000
c) 4.12 grams – 20mm x 20mm x 6mm - $10,300

NWA (10652): Primitive achondrite (Lodranite). Found 2015.
I am not certain if the exact story on this piece. It was dropped off with me in Tucson in a Riker that has a simple round sticker saying “NWA 10652, Lodranite, 9.47”. This may be a piece of the original 146.1g reported stone (I have my doubts on this, given the large surface area of this slice) or (more likely) a pairing. I did a bit of research and found that, regardless, this does indeed look the to be the same stuff as the original reported stone. This is weird/ odd material. It is a “matrix-poor” breccia that, on first glance, looks very, very much like an LL6 chondrite. It has some metal grains and small breccia fragments that are rounded and do a good job of mimicking chondrules! However, the XRF (yep, I ran it to be sure) clearly shows that this is NOT an LL6. This is a complete slice of a natural fragment. About 1/3 of the edge of this slice has weathered fusion crust with the remainder being weathered old natural breaks (or since lost thin secondary crust).

    9.47 gram complete slice – 55mm x 43mm x 1mm - $250

TISSINT, Morocco: Martian (Shergottite), olivine phyric. Fell July 18, 2011.
This is a beautiful complete stone. It does have some areas (maybe 20% of the surface) that, at first glance, look to be fresh breaks. They indeed are BUT they were formed late in the fall. Careful inspection under magnification shows that these “fresh breaks” have small patches of melt/ fusion crust on the high points so they are really very light secondary crusted areas. The remainder of the stone is covered by nice shiny black primary crust. A nice piece of a meteorite I don’t see much of these days.

    3.71 gram complete individual – 16mm x 12mm x 12mm - $2500

January 5, 2017

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TUCSON SHOW INFO: For the far too rapidly approaching Tucson show, I will be on the road from January 25th until around February 15th. For the show itself, I will be in my usual spot: Ramada Limited (665 N. Freeway, Tucson) room 134. I should be open by mid to late morning Saturday January 28th. I likely will indeed stay through the bitter end – February 11th will be the last day. I open the door most days at 10AM. I will have the door open most evenings until around 9:30pm or so (or later if people are visiting/ still wandering about) but there may be a couple nights I will be out for dinner or such but that should be rare.

SIKHOTE-ALIN, Russia: Coarsest octahedrite (IIB). Fell February 12, 1947.
I had set aside a sealed ammo can of really nice larger shrapnel pieces (now quite rare) many, many years ago. A bulk order for some pieces that I didn’t have readily available in my “working inventory” caused me to pull this batch out. WOW! I really set aside some nice piece way back when. These listed here are all the super classic thin, twisted, heavily stretch-marked top quality specimens one desires from a shrapnel piece. The price might seem high (and it is compared to when I set these aside) but I am offering these at or below what pretty much any Sikhote-Alin shrapnel specimens (generally plain and small) would cost to replace from the very few sources that have them these days.
1) Shrapnel fragments, classic shape, wire brushed clean:
a) 51.1 grams - 47mm x 35mm x 10mm - $50
b) 91.7 grams - 64mm x 35mm x 10mm - $87
c) 134.1 grams - 60mm x 44mm x 17mm - $120
d) 247.2 grams - 70mm x 50mm x 20mm - $210
e) 639.2 grams - 90mm x 60mm x 35mm - $500

DIMMITT, Texas: Ordinary chondrite (H3.7). Found 1942. Tkw = about 200 kilograms.
Here are some wonderful individuals that I set aside many, many years ago. I got them when TCU/ Monig collection first started to release specimens to the collecting world (they have since stopped). These all have nice rounded edges, sculpted shapes. They are complete as found (except I have cleaned the dirt off of them) and are mostly primary crusted but some do show some old breaks (most being likely secondary crust). These have a pleasing orange brown to dark chocolate brown color. Unfortunately, none of these has a clear Monig label as, back in those very early days, TCU required that these be removed in hopes that the larger meteorite world would not know where these specimens came from (that didn’t work. TCU soon got flooded with requests for trades and sales – some 200 e-mails in one day at one point I was told!).
1) Nice sculpted individuals:
a) 40.6 grams - 38mm x 32mm x 17mm - $100
b) 86.1 grams - 55mm x 35mm x 30mm - $200
c) 161.5 grams - 65mm x 45mm x 30mm - $365
d) 299.8 grams - 65mm x 50mm x 40mm - $600
e) 495.8 grams - 80mm x 60mm x 50mm - $850
f) 866.7 grams - 120mm x 55mm x 55mm - $1300

NWA 8387: Ordinary chondrite. (LL3.9). Found before February 2014. Tkw = 1149.5 grams.
Here is a piece that I pulled out of a bin of Moroccan chondrites during the 2014 Tucson Show. It looked identical to the NWA (7197) L3.8 that I had offered on a mailed list immediately before the show. I thought that this was another piece and would save time (and some money) on getting it “market ready”. It turned out, however, that this was NOT the same as NWA (7197) but quite a bit rarer. This is an almost equilibrated LL chondrite, not an L. LLs are quite a bit less common then Ls (something like 1/5th or 1/7th as many I think) and the 3s and 4s are the rarer of this group (actually 4s are a bit scarcer than 3s, interestingly). This is quite nice. It has lots of chondrules of all sizes (though the light color makes it a bit hard to see many of them at a casual glance), metal and sulfides in a light mottled gray to tan matrix.
1) Slices:
a) 4.7 grams - 24mm x 15mm x 4mm - $24
b) 8.1 grams - 34mm x 23mm x 3mm - $40
c) 16.2 grams - 46mm x 33mm x 3mm - $80
d) 34.8 grams - 55mm x 52mm x 4mm - $165
e) 60.9 grams - 87mm x 46mm x 4mm - $280 – complete slice.
f) 96.6 grams - 105mm x 54mm x 5mm - $425 – complete slice.
2) End piece:
405.3 grams - 100mm x 56mm x 35mm - $1600 – Main mass.

SaU 582, Oman: Ordinary chondrite (L5) S3, W2. Found March 12, 2010. Tkw = 55 kilograms.
This might be my last “new” Oman stone. It seems that the Meteoritical Society has indeed set up rules against researchers working on “things that may not have been fully legally exported”. I think this one got done just before that was announced (and there is still some argument as to whether or not there truly was any kind of ban on meteorites from Oman at the time this was found. Frankly, I’d be surprised if they really were concerned about an L5 “getting away” regardless). Anyway, this is nothing special really, just a typical weathered L5 but it is very affordable (for fully studied and prepared material anyway). Chondrules and some metal is visible in the medium to dark brown matrix. Robert Ward found this stuff as a number of large stones (7kg the largest I think) and fragments in a small area. I got a couple kilos of the fragments from him a couple years ago and finally got around to preparing them for sale.
1) Slices:
a) 13.4 grams - 30mm x 28mm x 5mm - $10
b) 23.0 grams - 45mm x 40mm x 5mm - $17
c) 44.1 grams - 60mm x 40mm x 5mm - $33
3) End pieces:
a) 45.2 grams - 55mm x 22mm x 18mm - $32
b) 94.9 grams - 60mm x 35mm x 20mm - $65
c) 162.3 grams - 65mm x 60mm x 20mm - $95

NWA 10637: Primitive achondrite (Brachinite). Found before February 2016. Tkw = 554.2 grams.
It has been a loooong time since I have offered a brachinite on a catalog (possibly more than 20 years, when I had a couple chunks from Australia in the early ‘90s). I picked up this natural fragment late in the show last year (in fact, I think it is the only NWA meteorite I picked up in Tucson last year). Brachinites are one of the very rarest and least understood meteorite types. They are mostly olivine (this one is 87% olivine) along with trace amounts of pyroxene. These rocks likely represent mantle material from an unknown parent body (though their oxygen isotopes overlap those of Angrites). These slices are somewhat weathered (dark to medium almost orange brown) but clearly show the classic equigranular crystal texture of brachinites.
1) Slices:
a) 1.5 grams - 20mm x 9mm x 3mm - $30
b) 2.9 grams - 20mm x 13mm x 4mm - $58
c) 4.9 grams - 30mm x 17mm x 3mm - $98
d) 9.0 grams - 42mm x 28mm x 3mm - $180 – full slice.
e) 17.8 grams - 64mm x 30mm x 3mm - $320 – full slice.
f) 36.4 grams - 80mm x 45mm x 3.5mm - $625 – full slice.

PALLADOT: Extraterrestrial faceted olivine gemstones.
Here is an assortment of wonderful little faceted peridot (olivine) gemstones from the Admire, Kansas pallasite. Admire is one of the most beautiful meteorites in the world but it is known (generally) for rapid rusting (though I have a nice 9.2kg chunk that is indeed very stable – It will be on display for sale in Tucson). However, pieces that do fall apart turned out to be a good source for true outer space gems stones. It turns out that pallasite olivine is indeed noticeably different (under microscopic inspection) from common terrestrial peridot gems. The pallisitc material has unique inclusions (and often shows a “cats eye” Chatoyancy effect – also unique to pallisitic peridot) such that the G.I.A. has officially recognized these as a new gemstone type – now officially listed as “Palladot” (a combination of the words pallasite and peridot). Anyway, here is an assortment of round “brilliant” cut stones at a price of about 1/5th what they were originally priced at. Supply is VERY limited. I do have a few oval and emerald cut (square/ rectangular) in similar sizes and prices available, so ask if that is what you prefer.
1) Round brilliant cut gemstones in glass fronted plastic display box.
a) 1.5mm diameter stone - about .016 carat - $20
b) 2.0mm diameter stone – about .035 carat - $35
c) 2.5mm diameter stone – about .064 carat - $60
d) 3.0mm diameter stone – about .10 carat - $90

Please note:
Shipping: For small US orders $3 should still be fine for now. Larger orders are now $13 (insurance is extra if desired – I’ll look it up if you want it). Overseas prices have gone up A LOT the past couple years. Now small overseas orders are around $10 (I’ll have to custom quote any larger items/ orders). Thankfully, it seems that the rate for registration (recommended on more valuable overseas orders) is $13.
I do have a new 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. How ever, for overseas orders, it probably is best to go ahead and use my brmeteorites@yahoo.com e-mail.
