Hi Martin and list members,

I am still in this business and still active as collector too, even if my
father Marc and my brother Jim are no longer with me, this is why I have no
more time for meteorite hunting. But I still have a large inventory on line,
please have a look to my "recent additions" page:
http://www.meteorites.tv/contents/en-us/d247.html

For a quick access to the main price list, just click on the link "Shop by
Meteorite Classification" from the home page http://www.meteorites.tv

By the way, my work in "real life" is family Doctor, so this is why I am
apparently not so active than other dealers because I don't have the time to
be present to all the show except Tucson!

In all case if you are looking for rare classification and/or historical
specimens don't forget to contact me, I have a large inventory off line.

All the best,
Luc Labenne
