Hi Werner and List, I asked myself the same question. However, I do own a couple kilos of these same specimens. Why? Because I was hoping the seller made a mistake and some of the stones might actually be meteorites. I windowed several of them and all of them are indeed wrongs. Now I have a big box of meteorwrongs that look like desert-varnished, weathered, unclassified chondrites. I've sold a few of them as meteorwrongs, but I wouldn't pay to have a crate of them freighted to me from overseas.
My guess is, he bought a big load of meteorites and this is the flotsam that was mixed in, and now he is trying to get back some of his investment by offering them as wrongs....? Best regards, MikeG PS - some of them are very convincing at first-glance. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Galactic Stone & Ironworks - MikeG Web: http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/galacticstone Twitter: http://twitter.com/GalacticStone RSS: http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 ----------------------------------------------------------- On 6/14/12, W&S Schroer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello listees, > > first up, I'm not the seller of the rocks in this listing: > > http://tinyurl.com/7ahpvh3 > > I wonder why someone paid the freight for a bunch of rocks from Morocco ? > (There's another smaller lot.)
