Cutting Meteorites at the Meteorite Mansion in Tucson 1-22-22 (Topherspin Meteorites)

0:00 Intro
Watch as we cut some of our 2022 Tucson Rock Show purchased meteorites. I show everything before and after the saw in a photo light box for the highest quality experience. Buy meteorites during the day and cut them at night!!
Tonight (1-22-22) we cut and polish: Rumuruti (under classification), NWA 869 (L3-6), NWA chondrites, L3, L4, NWA 7538 (LL5/6), NWA 4874 (Brachinite) and more. Chris makes a special offer on a beautiful classifed slice.

    I have an open minded observation or Idea if you will, and I feel that the topic itself may even constitute as a knowledge gap within the meteoritic community, so I guess the best way to pose it would be in the form of a question. So the question has two parts. The first question is this: Why has the meteoritic community been vastly interested on certain rocks from space, i.e. =Meteorites There are hundreds of rocks from space that fall to earth which do not experience the same fire burning decent as their Meteorite counterparts. Who decides whether the ones that are not from meteoroids are less interesting to science? Surely there should be a broader spectrum of analysis wherein Science can also benefit by studying these specimens as well. I have many of them and I collect them alongside real meteorites and what I notice from them is that they tend to look more like the meteoroids, asteroids and space dust accumulation rocks that are seen by our telescopes and the ones depicted from space landings. But unfortunately, such information regarding this topic tends to be shunned as if whoever asks such questions is asking too much or even worse, they are treated as if they are just not smart and instead of embracing the idea they are rather met with a shaming of intelligence, rather than that of praise, just for seeking to understand space matter to its full extant. I hope the meteoritic community would one day endeavor to tackle this issue, and when I mean tackle the issue I mean to search out and study also the non meteoritic rocks that have fallen from space onto earths surface. That way science can fill in the gaps of any clue to stellar relationship to one another as well as the obvious differentiation that led these space rocks from experiencing not only contrasting chemical orientations, but also a totally different ascension towards Earth.

    Any rock(s) from space are either a "return sample" or a "meteorite". Since (via text message) you promised to 'ruin my reputation' and are my "nightmare" if I don't pay you "cash, lot's of cash", I have decided to communicate no further. You are no longer allowed to comment on my Channel. Please get help.

    Is there an email i can send you a picture of an Iron Meteorite, I believe, that I found in Virginia. It appeared blue when i found it from the fusion crust, looks like it has some weathering to it or rust on the outside but looks blue/silver under the right light where the "crust" is. has regmaglypts, & is metallic colored when I cut into it with a diamond bit. Solid metal.. It is slightly magnetic, & seems out of this world! Looks exactly like the "Chinga" meteorite.
