Dear list,

to all who contacted me on the article about the Santa Vitoria do Palmar
meteorite in the current issue of Meteorite Magazine: thank you for your
compliments, which I will also forward to Dr. Greshake from the MNB. Because
I did not yet receive my copy, I have not seen which images made it into the
final version of the story. That is why I can not answer questions regarding
the pictured samples at the moment. Basicly all material has been sold,
except two large slices, to beautiful to cut apart. One of these we
currently offer on ebay. The current price is only a minute fracture of our
acquisition price.

If interested we recommend quick action as the auction ends tonight.

The beauty of the material and the low TKW in mind we are convinced that
Santa Vitoria will rapidly vanish from the market. The 34kg mass is lost
pending further notice since 2004, the remaining 10kg main mass has already
been sold at this year's Denver show. The rest is locked up at the local
Museum in Santa Vitoria do Palmar / Brazil.

Best regards

______________________________________________

I have received my copy of Meteorite Magazine and I can certainly recommend
the great article Svend wrote about this beautiful meteorite. But if you want
 to see all the pictures in color you will have to go to Svend's site:
_www.niger-meteorite-recon.de_ (http://www.niger-meteorite-recon.de) And while
you are there you might want to read about some of his expeditions in the
Tenere. Great articles, and great pictures.
And yes, the main mass of Santa Vitoria do Palmar was bought during the
Denver Show by Blaine Reed, Robert Cucchiara and myself. The mass was then
divided and they chose to have their third sliced. Mine reminded whole, so I now
have the main mass of Santa Vitoria, and some slices I previously obtained from
Svend. Here is a picture of the main mass:

ask if you are interested.
 
Thank you Svend for bringing this beautiful meteorite to the world.
