I agree with Michael. I frequently get similar requests from people needing their "chondrite" authenticated and "placed into the system". Not much of a problem getting their stone identified, but the owners are becoming more and more dismayed by the increasing difficulty finding someone to classify a chondrite, not to mention the expense. The second part of that request is getting harder and harder to guarantee to a prospective client.
Hey Elton, if you get lucky and find a benefactor that can get " a stone into the system" on the cheap, then please share that with me. I've got a long line of orphaned OCs that need to be classified, and to go into the MetBull Database.

I'm a few hours from Vegas and get that way often. Feel free to email me some picts and if I can I'll take a look some day, but I know there are several Vegas residents who would also know what they're looking at. Michael in so. Cal.
