Hello Michael & All,

All this time I thought it was supply and demand that made it go 'round.

Sincerely,

> Hi Matt & all,
> I feel obliged to put in my two cents worth on NWA and Saharas:
> Of course, common typed - especially the fragments of same, hold no
> appeal to me whatever and I cannot see what appeal they would hold for
> anyone.
> HOWEVER, there are MANY killer rare types, not the least of which are
> 3s (H3s, L3s & LL3s) and, of course, many other rare types, including
> Lunars, Martians, etc. THESE are all of a great deal of interest to me.
> There is one other catacory that also holds a great deal of attracton
> for me, and, aparently, more for me than most others: they are the
> individuals (regardless of type) which, usually fully crusted, show
> exceptional terrestrial age - such as whole Dhofar 020s with their
> magnificent cracks & the other weathered specimens, such as the "hollow
> sphere" I got in Denver, etc. They hold the same attraction as a sunken
> ship, only partially delapidated, lying on the bottom of the ocean.....
> To write off all the NWA and Sahara meteorites, wholsale, is, to me,
> the act of a mad man, but that's my two cents - of course, differences
> in taste make the world go 'round.
> Best wishes, Michael
