List, Greetings,
I am new to the collecting of these extertrestial gems. All of my collection
is of the micro to ~5 grams size. I suppose that if a monetary value were to
placed on it,
it would maybe reach $1K. To set there and delibertly take money from
someone is a thing which in the "Old West" would lead to a very quick
necktie party.
IMO, someone playing to their trust in them and in fact lying to them is
guilty of thieft, for when you lie you have stolen both trust and the truth,
neither of which is something everyone relies on to keep things on the up
and up.
It's sorta like my Doctor giving me my Phenumonia shot and about 8 hours
later my arm wants to fall off. I call him up and ask is this a normal
thing? He answered "Yes".
I asked "Why didn't you tell me this would happen?"
He said "You didn't ask" Seems to me that's kinda important to know.
You can bet your little bippie I'll ask from now on!!!

this. It is all in IOM and Schwade
Bialystok

Claretin
Andover--he won't even say where he got it. Almost all in USNM and Jim and
me. He does not have the pull to do exchanges with most major
institutions.
Ensisheim
I have one of those "Claretin". Is is a valid meteorite or do I pitch it in
the delete
basket? Makes me glad that I didn't take him up on the Micro Ensisheim at
$50.
It's safe to say I may not be purchassing any more from that source,
bonifides not withstanding.
I am a firm believer in word of mouth advertising pro or con and enough has
been said
to raise my BP, which is something my Doctor would skin me alive if I let it
happen.
