Casper Meteorites Announcement

Hello to all,

Don*t quote me on this but I was told this afternoon John Wasson has 
classified Laguna Manantiales as a medium octahedrite. 

I have acquired a few new goodies so here it goes:

1.  Chinga slices   431.5 g and 483.8 g @ $2 US per gram

2.  Santiago Papasquiero slices   399.6 g and 521.2 g @ $2 US per gram

3.  Sikhote Alin etched slices   562.6 g and 483.3 g @ $2 US per gram

These three irons have all been polished to a mirror finish and are 
beautiful.  The Sikhote Alin slices are gorgeous!

4.  Selma, Alabama slice   1,263 g @ $1.50 US per gram

    The last one available in the world!

5.  Etter complete slice    450 g @ $2.50 US per gram

8.  On the cutting table is the main mass of Seth Ward, an H5.  This is 
a recent find and the mass is in pristine condition.  I am offering 
slices at $3 US per gram.  The only material of this meteorite is in the 
DuPont Collection and the Chicago Field Museum.  Hurry!!!

9.  A 913 g mass of Plainview (1917), Texas with Nininger #92.501 is 
being cut and slices will be available at $4 US per gram.

10.  A 2 kg Dimmitt is being cut and slices will be available at $2 US 
per gram.

11.  A 249.5 gram Kaigorod 1/2 individual with polished face for $750 
US.

12.  Pampas Provinciales etched slices:  131.0 g, 120.2 g, 243.9 g @ 
$3 US per gram.


If you are interested, act quickly - one week from tonight I am off to 
the West Coast Gem and Mineral Show in Costa Mesa, California and what*s 
left of this material will be going with me.  In my absence, Cathi will 
be in our Ithaca, New York office.

Those of you in the LA area are cordially invited to come hang out in my 
room and look at all the goodies I will have with me!  Your *formal* 
invitation goes out in tomorrow*s snail mail.

Regards,

Michael Casper
