Sikhote Alin "Bullets"

Some of the most graphically flight-oriented meteorites known! This page leads off with our new trophy piece. Below that is a listing of bullets for sale. Buy them now or wait for them to go on ebay.

Tucson, 2006: Amazing super-oriented Sikhote. We sorted through every tray of Sikhotes that we could find at the show looking for that one truly great piece, and we found it! Cookie showed this one to me about three times before I realized what I was looking at. This is a barbed bullet with delicate flow lines on the roll-over nose and also on several of the flaring shoulders. The fantastic symmetry makes this look like a spruce tree flocked with heavy winter snow.

We found some great stuff at the big show this year, but this is the single best piece. Enjoy!

I haven't made up my mind for sure, but I probably will sell this eventually. Let me know if you want your name on a contact list when and if I decide to let it go (---or make me such a great offer that I'm convinced sooner---). Email us at nlehrman@nvbell.net.

******Sikhote Alin Bullets for Sale******

Okay, here's the deal. Over the next few months, I'll be pulling pieces from this group and running them on ebay. Untill then, they'll be parked here. These things are so idividually unique that I really don't know how to price them so I figure I'll let the market decide via auctions. I saw a few bullets for sale piece by piece in Tucson, and most were not as good as these, but the nominal pricing below is based roughly off of those asking prices. If you want to try for a bargain, just keep an eye on this list. When one moves to auction it will be noted here, with closing dates. I can provide additional images if you want them.
