Hi all,

messosiderite looking specimen and the other a pallasite looking should originate and

I would not bid on this unless catagorically
classified by one that is very knowledgealbe regarding

Hi All,
By bidding on the item or other items people have that haven't been tested, proven, it

John,
That one on ebay was supposedly found in South Carolina. The one from
Georgia was supposedly from,

As an aside, the person who won that auction is either incredibly
