Well, we have tens of thousands of Gao stones, and w dont cut them or classify all of them! Same with Canyon Diablo. If it is from the same fall, why woudl you need each stone classified? Now, just because a Moroccan tells you this is a moon rock and is the same one as Greg Hupe bought, that does not mean that it is so. I wish I had a dollar for every piece of NWA 482 that supposedly appeared after we got that one, yet none were ever even close to being the same meteorite.
