Don, If you can't tell that the stone pictured is a meteorite (without any doubt), you're an idiot. Furthermore, do you truly believe it necessary to cut stones such as this, that display beautiful fusion crust and a broken window into the interior that undoubtedly reveals a common chondritic composition? In my opinion, doing so would simply be pointless - unless one wanted to cut off the broken bit to create a nice windowed stone, why cut it at all. The classification would undoubtedly reveal it to be a common chondrite, and we all know how many of those there are coming out of NWA...aesthetics in this case are quite a bit more important than whatever minuscule science could be gleaned from the H5 or L6 that it most likely is.

Is an unclassified "meteorite" really a meteorite without scientific verification? Or is it just a "probable meteorite"? Don. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 6/11/2007 8:41:48 A.M.

I post what collectors send me and if they want to share with others rather classified or not I see nothing wrong with it.
