Great news, Elton, I must have the largest fully crusted individual of these "new swan stones". Please tell me the total price including shipping costs back to Germany. This piece will be nice present for the Geology Professor from Munich, who wasn't able to distinquish between a piece of bitumen and a meteorite. Then he has a piece to study how real meteorites look like.
Btw, was is difficult to prevent your meteorites from falling into pieces? Kind regards Dieter ----- Original Message ----- From: E. L.
