My first planetary, a similar sized bit of NWA 998, shared a similar fate. Bought on Ebay from the Hupés, the membrane box managed to get broken (while in my possession, not during shipping). So I had a spare membrane box, opened the broken one, and had a bit of Mars bounce out of the box and into history. :-) ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
