I was going to say it earlier and held back. I could be wrong but in my opinion those are best chondrodites outside of tilly foster and afghanistan. Amazing

I feel compelled to point out that we are less then two weeks from the one year anniversary of this thread. If you haven't done so, and even if you have, take a read from the beginning. It's damn exciting.smileys with beer hope we will still be reading and admiring more cool finds a year from now.

Hey Matt, what do you think of these ? Some of the Chondrodites are half green !



David, There is a lot more stuff here but I don't think I can top what I found in the past year.. but who knows

Those green ones may have been partially altered to chlorite by later fluids. Nice specimen.

Broke up the first small boulder ( about 24 inchs) and got some nice Titanites but lost some too.

Hi:
Just a note to let everyone in the PA, NY, NJ area know that Glenn will be speaking Monday, October 17th, 7:30 at the Pennsylvania Earth Sciences monthly meeting held in Whitehall, PA. Whitehall is in the Allentown, PA area and right off Route 22. The exact location is the Helfrich Springs Grist Mill at the intersection of Mickley and Lehnert Roads.
The club extends a cordial invitation to anyone wanting to come and meet Glenn and hear his talk on the remarkable finds on his property.
For those seeking more information, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Greg Kokolus

This nice two inch Apitite broke on a fracture line and I found it to be hollow inside.

Glenn,

I enjoyed your lecture last evening at the Pennsylvania Earth Science Association meeting and want to thank you for bringing some of the specimens you previously posted here. The hands on experience and the ability to examine the specimens, was the icing on the cake.

Best wishes,

Joe

Dang

I missed Glenn's talk :(
I would have loved to see it, did anyone record his talk and get photo's of his displays?

If so ... can we see them please ?


Glenn
Your specimens have been getting better and better steadly,,, So .. at this rate,
by this time next year your specimens should be better than the best ones now
by a factor of 3 or 4 . . . oh what the heck, maybe a factor of 10 ! >:D<

Sorry to say that we didn't document or photograph Glenn's talk at our recent PESA meeting.
I will say that it was enjoyed by all in attendance and it was great that our members got to see firsthand some of his finds.
For those of you that haven't met Glenn personally, his wife Karen has also started to become a knowledgeable collector and added her commentary to the presentation.

Hey Wayne, you're putting the pressure on. I'm happy to find anything new. You will just have to come down and help me find some stuff.

Thanks to all at the PESA club for their interest and hospitality. Their meeting is held in a wonderfull old grist mill and they have a super friendly group of knowledgable people, good food too. If you live anywhere close its worth checking out.

Nice shiny black Spinels on Chondrodite 3/4 to 1-1/4 inches overall
