Dear Meteorite Friends:
  Yesterday I attended a local mineral society auction where several
interesting meteorites were for sale. All were from an old collection,
and had the original "Ward Scientific" yellowed catalog labels.
  One was a Willamete, Oregon piece, approximately 32 grams. It sold for
$56.00. I have never seen this one for sale. Did I make a mistake by not
bidding higher and securing the piece? It wasn't much to look at, but I
thought given its history, I probably should have bid more.
  The other was a beautiful, thick slice (complete?)of Plainsville, TX.
It showed many different sized condrules and flecks of metal. It was
around 40 grams and sold for $71.00.
  Please tell me I didn't just make the biggest mistake of my life by
letting both go!
  The good news is I bought a faceted amber necklace (that had an old
price tag of $420) for $48.00. Maybe I should shut up and be happy?

Anita
