Hi Jason.

Well, one reason is that (being Canadian) I want to eventually collect (and from which to take off slices or fragments for resell) most of the Canadian meteorites (new, historic and rare). At the moment, I only have a PS of Abee and a frag of Tagish Lake.. Also, I was put in touch with someone who offered me a good sized stone of BC,, and it seems it seems that pretty much of what remained that hasn't been sent to locked up in institutions/museums, now has been sold out to collectors. I haven't seen BC offered on ebay or anywhere else on the net for quite a while now...

Regards
- Mel
