Just a sampling of the goods. (The giraffe was from Tucson a couple of years ago and we got the Aboriginal dot painting in Australia--). The rest is all from Tucson this year. There's lots of variety at the show. The carved wood Northwest Indian-style masks are Indonesian, but are fine reproductions. The bulk of our purchases this year were Lei gong mo tektites (on the left) and unclassified NWA stoney meteorites (on the right). At the front right is a nice little pile of Australite cores.
	On the tektite front, this was a big year for Chinese dumbells. These were the pick of the litter. Lots of these are over 100 grams, and all are essentially flawless. Amazing stuff!
	Probably our best single find: a monster bubble with two fine navels! This one weighs a whopping 326.2 grams, but given its volume, it should weigh 465 grams. A full 30% of the volume is a very large bubble! Utterly flawless. This one will probably move into our private collection. We found two other bubble-cored Lei gong mo as well.
	A couple more truly huge splatforms. The top one weighs 361.3 grams, which makes it a world class Lei gong mo. They don't make many over 300 grams. The lower piece is not so big at 147.2 grams, but it is a particularly spectacular telescoped teardrop. It hit nose-first while still molten and collapsed into itself, leaving a bit of protruding tail to tell the story.
	We got a fine selection of teardrops as well. Here are a couple of examples. The one on the left is one of the best Hershey's kisses we've seen (usually the fragile tail is broken, but this one is long and intact). On the right is just a nice big symmetrical tear weighing 125.5 grams, exceptionally large for this morphology.
	Usually a large part of our Tucson expenditures, this year Besednice moldavites were in short supply, inferior quality, and very expensive. We bought these two. I'm always a sucker for nice teardrops. This selection is from Vrabce.
	On the Moroccan front, the NWA stoney supply was way down from past levels, and there was a very high percentage of total garbage. With a lot of sorting we did get some great pieces though. These are all very fresh, completely crusted individuals. Average prices were up 30% from last year. The biggest ones in this group are in the 500 to 600 gram range. Those below the scale bar are oriented heat shields with roll-back lips.
	Always gotta sort through the Sikhote Alins looking for bullets. They were in short supply. Even the Russians have gone to pricing them as individual specimens rather than by weight as in past years. This is a beauty at 35 grams.
	Here was a cute little surprise. Cookie found this shatter cone hiding in a cardboard box of NWA scraps in one of the Moroccan tents. There are at least nine known impact structures in the Sahara region, so it's pretty hard to guess the locality. The color and luster is very similar to crusted NWAs. Really a fine specimen, a complete cone with delicate horsetail structures.
	Finally, we always add one or two nice minerals to the collection. On the left is pink stilbite on stalactiform quartz from the classic zeolite locality at Poona, India. On the right is a sweet little amazonite (microcline) with smoky quartz from Colorado.
