No, I am refunding, giving credit and/or exchanges to all who got the material. While I am taking the steps needed to get 100% of the material returned to me, I still want answers that clearly have not been given... like what is this stone, when/how long ago did it fall and what it likely is.
Further testing will be done, and has already been set up. I want answers and so do many others. Proper testing is the only way it can be done. I am doing the best I can to be open and honest concerning what I am doing.
