Stan,
Self-proclaimed pairings are considered bad business. I don't understand why
you cannot wait a week or two to get an official lab report with official
pairing statements since NAU provides this data. It is simple to mention
that you strongly suspect other pairings but using official numbers to
enhance the value of an unofficial stone is wrong. By the way, if I was to
use your standards of pairing, there is at least 10 more kilograms paired to
your supposedly unpaired Acapulcoite including NWA 2989 as they look
identical to me, you can't have it both ways!

Adam,
I will avoid the use of your name in my auctions from here on out unless I
have some specific reason to do so (cant think of one off the top of my
head but I'll just leave the possibility open) - but i will NOT refrain
from posting information about possible pairings. either official or
otherwise - provided they are properly qualified to prevent any possible
misunderstanding. I belive not providing this sort of information to the
collecting public does a disservice to the entire meteorite collecting
community.
In the context of this conversation if I am wrong about the pairing then
the pieces I am offering are from a unique low TKW non vessicular
angrite - and as such would be much more valuble (as i only have maybe 6g
total of extra material to offer). conversely if the suspect pairing is
correct and i DIDNT disclose it a collector would quite possibly be
disapointed to know that the material has an effective TKW in the KG range
(an order of magnitude more than the mass of my piece) and is avalible
from multiple sources other than me.
Stan,
I would be happy to let this debate end here and now. All I ask is not to
mention my last name out of context in a public auction, we have discussed
this before. You have the right to run your auctions any way you want but
if I see unofficial pairing statements to material I am involved with, I
will take exception to it, sometimes publicly since our investment in time
and energy is great and I do not believe in free rides.

Stan,
Just admit you are telling fibs. You say that Aaronson and others say
the stones look the same. That's funny, Aaronson and Boswell have never
seen NWA 2999! You know what happened when Farrell changed the NWA 2999
abstract to match his sample. It is simple, get your facts straight!

Adam,
If you say Greg did not get nwa 2999 from Adam Aaronson I will take your
word and admit to being mistaken specifically regarding the origin of nwa
2999. Aaronson HAS seen nwa 3164 - a pairing to nwa 2999 per the metbull
website - and would be happy to tell you it's the same stuff as my
provisional nwa 2934. I dont know what Boswell has to say about this
material as i dont know the guy, and have never made any claims to his
opinion on the matter.
are all clear now?
