Well said that man. I recall a few years ago when BIMS did a meteorite exhibition, one of the things we had on the stand was a classic meteorwrong (a piece of weathered marcasite), it was in front of a bunch of real meteorites. A women came up to the stand wearing various large beads around her neck, and said she was interested in 'crystal healing'. She picked up the nearest rock which unknown to her was the Marcasite!, and she said, wow I can really feel the energy coming off this meteorite, they are much more powerful than normal rocks you can always tell... this says it all imho!!

Vann Sent: 14 October 2010 15:07 To: [email protected] Subject: [meteorite-list] Divining and dowsing-a question Without getting too deeply into word origins - divining means to prophesy the future - from God's lips to mine ears - and few dowsers claim to be so well connected - so 'divining rods' seems quite the misnomer - Between those going back and forth as to whether a given set of experiments was 'properly done' (which, among the lay, in my experience tends to mean 'giving the results I like'), there seems to be an issue about the 'science' and 'scientists' who may or may not know anything about the field of dowsing, I would like to pose the following, non-scientific question: If dowsing actually works, as claimed by some, why then can I not find a entry for dowsing services in the Yellow Pages? Don't you think, that if this really worked, there would be a great demand for these highly specialized persons, leading to a well-regulated, credentialled and well-paid guild? I mean, that's what has happened with every other skill that works... Just sayin' David R.
