I have a piece of the Mifflin in question and I for one want to commend Greg for his handling of this. He has always been more than a fair dealer to me. I have bought several from him and nothing but professional. I am in no hurry to get a refund. I would honestly like to know WHAT it is I got from him as a Mifflin, then we can work something out. I only have a small slice so we are not talking about something that will break the bank. My natural curiosity wants to know what it IS. The fact that this has been outted does not concern me that Greg will not make it right. I am willing to wait to find out the mystery.

Hello,

Does, this mean you are not refunding customer's money now? It is clearly not Mifflin and it seems further tests is just a delay. If I am wrong in assuming this, then I apologize, but it would be best to buy these back now and get them to the trash can and out of collections.

Best Wishes

The slice Jim has is the non Mifflin stone.
Jim, sorry, I have tons of emails, just got to yours and sent you an email as you must have been posting this. I am reclaiming the material and will be sending a sample soon to be tested to try to confirm when this fell and just what it is.

Hello,

I think the one you mentioned...is really hard to tell.
Catterton did a part trade/cash deal with me and some of the
trade material was REAL Mifflin that I personally found,
even though you purchased it from him it might be the real
deal, at least on that piece. The time frame would have to
be after July 10th, because he did not have my real Mifflin
until after then.

Best Wishes

Hi Michael and list,

Not all of the Mifflin photo's on the Met. Bulletin
(IMCA Encyclopedia of
Meteorites) are of the real thing. I have three photos
there. One is a
slice from Joe's main mass, another is a complete
individual that I  found
during my five day hunt and the fake is the slice that
I purchased  from Greg
Catterton. I contacted Greg C this morning to get my
refund and  have not
received a response. I'll remove the photo later. If
you have one that  looks
like this, you've been duped.

Best Wishes,
Jim K

Hello,

Since Jason posted  his discovery, 2 more pieces
of "fake" Mifflin have
been recovered. Taking into  account cut loss, I
think I am almost certain that
I have recovered 95% of the  stone that I was
duped into buying.  I will
not be 100% certain until all  of the pieces are
returned to me.  Even though,
I have not been 100%  refunded for my purchase, I
feel it is important to
refund people's money  immediately or as fast as
possible and to get this
fake crap off the market and  into the trash
can... or maybe into a lawyer's
hand!

PLEASE NOTE:   If you have any doubt
about a Mifflin specimen you obtained
from me ...PLEASE  send me a photo so I can
confirm one way or the other.
Especially ,if it does  not look like anything in
the Met Bulletin below. Even
if you did not get it  from me, but just want a
second opinion... send me
the photo.

Here is  also a link to photos of Real Mifflin.
Everything posted in the
Meteoritical  Bulletin entry is indeed REAL
Mifflin.
