Re: [meteorite-list] The Latest Nevada Find, Not
When I was in West, TX a woman told me that someone had painted some rocks black and placed them on her lawn; I never got to see them as I had met her on the road when was I was returning to my car. I had to leave and she had to go to town. I really wanted to see them. Practical Jokes... aren't they just so fun to do when you're a kid.

Adam/List: I have found stuff like this - looks like melted tar that has hardened to appear like glass; sometimes they have clasts inside. It is weird stuff. Are the white crystals quartz? Yea -just send it back and tell him to go to a local University and get a second opinion. Thanks for sharing.
