I received a belated birthday present from myself today.
A collection of meteorites from
www.galactic-stone.com
Maybe I'm just a bit touched in the head (no smart-alec comments thanks) but I'm in total awe atm.
Right now I'm holding in my hand 4 small pieces from the Martian meteorite DaG 476 which was found on May 1, 1998 in the Lybian Desert.
Imagine that, a piece of Mars in my hand!!!!
Other goodies in my box of specimens are.....
A slice of NWA 4300, H5 Chondrite, Morocco 2008
Tatahouine, Diogenite, Tunisia 1931
Campo del Cielo, an Iron Meteorite, Argentina 1576
Allende, Carbonaceous CV3, Mexico 1969
NWA 869, an L4-6 Chondrite from Algeria 1999
Plus a small clipseal bag of around 30 unclassified meteorites from the Sahara.
Anyway, it's really made my day.
