Hi everyone, just a quick note before I head down to work here at the Munich mineral show. It is a huge show, 3 buildings, all with several hundres dealers. Nice museum exhibits including the Neuschwanstien meteorite. There are of course, alot of meteorites here, but virtually NOTHING from the Moroccan dealers! Each one has a small flat or two of chondrites almost all are the several thousand kilo NWA under so many names.
Some nice historical meteorites, ALL with very high prices. Nothing in any sort of bulk except the maligned Shirokovsky, which the Russian owner is still selling with the help of a very nice display and printed information that looks like it was made in hollywood. That scam is with us to stay!

More later.
