Gem Stones from Space; Palladot™
A litte info on the coolest, rarest gemstones on the planet (and they are not even from this planet).
Blog 12, Today I discuss a new product I came up with using a by-product of harvesting the high quality gem rough out of the “Alpha” Pallasite.
The Coffeyville Kansas meteorite. The finders of this meteorite were certain after seeing Geoff and me on TV that their rock was a meteorite. They sent in a piece, and they were right. This blog is part about the story and part a little sales pitch. If you might like to buy one, check out the listing on my SteveArnoldMeteorites fan page at Facebook.
Mythbusters Myth: Pretty Girls Don’t Fart
I had seen this video a long time ago, but this weekend, while Geoff and I were sharing the Science Channel’s tent and stage with Kari Byron from Mythbusters and Head Rush at the National Science Festival in Washington D.C., Kari mentioned this video that never made it to TV…but she reminded all of us, it was on the internet. So, since she is not too embarrassed about it, I link to it here for those of you who haven’t seen it, you don’t want to miss it.

American Chopper’s Paul Sr. and his Orange County Choppers team built us a really cool motorcycle to help us hunt for meteorites. Meeting the guys at OCC was one of the highlights of my life. It would have been enough just to get a cool bike, but to get to be part their show made the event more than anyone could ask for. Yet in the end, what I appreciated the most was being able to get an inside look at the huge business that Paul Sr. built starting only a few years ago working out of his basement.
