Hello Ron, I just couldn't cut my beautiful Venus Stone cast, so I cored it. After sending the core sample to a prominent meteoritical society member, this is what I found the Venus Stone to be classified as: A HowardWuite, planetary material consisting of hemihydrate of calcium sulfate, composition CaSO4 - 1/2H2O. Hum, doesn't seem to match up with Holbrook. The Venus Stone is safe, long live the Venus Stone! Fred H.
