Darryl, you've to be very strong now ...
Here in Germany each roof of a house

each tree

meanwhile carries a sky-ladder to invite the heavenly visitors politely to
come down and take place in riker boxes.
And, yes, we're developping even more esthetical

countless (sorry, Guido) metaphysical solutions

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] AD(?) - Sikhote-Alin in tree
Hi,
While I am not challenging the integrity of Anne's specimen, there is
something I should share: about a decade ago I was informed by an
unimpeachable source as to the existence of what is basically a nursery
outside of Vladivostok where SAs have been wedged into the knots and the
forked limbs of a rapidly growing specie of tree for later "harvest." I
was informed that branches are frequently bound around the meteorite to
assist in the embedment. I saw one such example and it was...impressive.
Little scary, right?
In an effort that provides a faster turnaround, I was recently informed
lightning rods are being inserted into strategic locations in Saharan
sands in the effort to produce and harvest flared saharite---the
beautifully flanged Saharan fulgurites.
Certainly less scary as there is no effort to deceive. Clever,
actually---and yet bothersome as well.

Hello,
Since Michael Blood mentionned Sikhote-Alins embedded in trees in his
latest "Market Trends" article, and warned everybody against them. And
since I
have received a few questions about the one I aquired a few months ago,
let me
try to set the record straight:
First, here are 2 pictures, the whole thing, and a close-up:

It is much bigger than any I have seen before, and the Sikhote-Alin is
truly inside the tree.
And a member who happens to be an hoticulturist looked at the pictures
and
wrote: "Looks pretty real to me Anne! It probably impailed itself into
the
tree and then the tree grew around it, which explains the "bark" around
it".
(Thank you Craig!)
Also I counted the rings, not easy, but there are at least 45. And I
trust
the Russian dealer I bought it from.
So, yes I believe that it is the real/authentic deal, not a scam.
And if you want to have a better look at it, it will be in my room in
Tucson (Hotel Tucson City Center, Formerly InnSuites, Room 322).
Speaking of Sikhote-Alin, you will also see there two Sikhote-Alins in
"as
found" condition that I obtained from the Vernadsky Institute. Yes, with
all
the paperwork!
See you all there very soon.
