You might be interested in looking at this auction site 
http://www.auctionmasters.com/auctions_jbs.cfm under Paleontology, Geology, 
More. I have used them many times but then I have been able to preview 
before bidding.

Hi all,


This is a group response to all the members who replied.

I was originally looking for the ore, not the processed pellets, but now
that I think about it, I could use some of the ore concentrate and
pellets as well.

Here is a Wikipedia link with a photo of the raw material:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taconite

I will run x-ray diffraction powder pattern on any of the samples. On
the raw rock, I will also have a thin section made. If anyone sells me
some or all of these, I will provide copies of the analyses. The thin
sections cost about $25 to make, so if someone is interested in one of
those, I'd negotiate whether they want to take it in trade.

If anyone has a specific offer to sell any or all of the rough rock,
concentrates, or pellets, contact me off-list.

Thanks!!!

Don
