Boba Debt Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I just received my 50mm NWA 2828 sphere and I am extremely please with how it turned out. It has a nice baby blue color and very little brown. I wear this phase out but once again this picture doesn't do the specimen justice. I love collecting these but I hate photographing them. You can see pictures of my entire collection by clicking this: http://home.ec.rr.com/bobadebt/50mil.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A by product of having a sphere made is scraps. My NWA 2828 sphere started out as a 599 gram whole specimen which had a core removed so I was left with a 235 gram whole specimen with a big hole in the center. Here are 2 pictures. I don't have any efficient way to process this material so I would like to sell it as a single piece for $500 plus shipping, that's about $2.12 per gram You could get a lot of slices or 2 good end cuts and 2 real nice thick crusted slices. There are a lot of ways to process this piece which could be profitable so I'm sure I'm asking a fair price. If not please let me know I also have a bunch of fragments ranging form 1 gram up to 9 grams which I will sell for $4 per gram, here is a picture of some of the fragments. If you are interested in anything please email me at bobadebt@ec.rr.com Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hunter Man Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 David, Did you give this one the same treatment that you gave the NWA869? They are very beautiful and unique. One thing is for certian, you have a one of a kind collection. Oh yea, and a beautiful collection to. I would be proud of it. Best Wishes, Joe Kerchner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Debt Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 No, this sphere is straight off the machine and I don't plan on treating it. I can't say for sure but I probably have the largest collection of "meteorite" spheres. Once I receive my Gao I will have a total of 8 different spheres. I know that some people don't like them but I do and that's all that really matters. As my collection grows it's going to get a lot harder to find interesting raw material for new spheres.

Boba Debt Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 I decided to slice up the remaining part of my original specimen. I used my brick saw and only had 43 grams of cut loss so that's not too bad. I have a variety of end cuts and slices available for $4 per gram. If you're interested in a piece, please send and email to bobadebt@ec.rr.com If you don't mind, please include your phone number and I will call you to discuss which piece you're interested in. Here is a photo to use as a quick reference, that big end cut in the upper left corner weighs 83 grams and the bottom middle slice weighs 14 grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
