Hello to everyone. I am a new collector and subscriber to the list. When I join a new list, I usually just observe for awhile before I put my foot in the water (to avoid putting my foot in my mouth!). But I am particularly interested in the history of meteorites, and I noted the comment about the meteorite looking like chocolate.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that peasants used to grind up meteorites hundreds of years ago and eat them for their "magical" properties. I checked Burke's history of meteorites very quickly, but couldn't find the reference. Is there anyone out there that read the same thing? And I do apologize in advance if I am saying something that everyone knows already - remember, this is my first post. Thanks, now I'll go back and just watch the list postings. Glad to be a subscriber, and a great hobby! Mark Grossman PS - Regarding the lost meteorite, I am not at all inferring that anyone's friends are peasants! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary K.
