Melanie, Linton, The photos depict what are clearly fresh stony meteorites, regardless of their quality (viz., the photos'). This seller is a local and has been selling Buzzard Coulee stones since shortly after the fall. I've spoken with them on a few occasions, and, while I haven't actually purchased any stones, they do seem to be on the level. Regards, Jason
