Rob,
Since you felt it necessary to step up, claim guilt and show disrespect for
a leader in Meteoritics, I felt I had better respond publicly.

he have his field SEM with him, his field ion microprobe, his field

Which would you
rather have, a self proclaimed pairing or pieces that have been examined by
a competent scientist?
The "self-proclaimed pairing" I'm sure would be much cheaper, and that's the

Mainly for a dealer it is a economical decision, whether a stone has to be
classified.
Classification means: To deposite a share of 20% or 20g, to wait a year++
until a stone is ready for sale or to pay for the classification.
A collector has to think about the abilities of a seller, to
I still think this is carried to the point of
argueuing "My meteorites are better than your

Hello Rob,
I don't believe that a new find can ever be considered absolutely and
without a doubt to be paired with another meteorite or group of
meteorites that have already been analyzed and classified under a
specific name. The best that can be said is that it is "likely" paired.

IMHO, there is significant difference between someone fraudulently
proclaiming (without doing the legwork) "This meteorite IS paired with

or "This meteorite MIGHT BE paired with ". If the latter, I want to see

Hi Again,
The question was brought up about who I am talking about. I won't publicly
mention names at this point but will if the violations continue. Another
point off-List was brought up about ID cards. It may seem obvious but even
if you make your own ID cards, you should save the previous one
Collectors are entitled to official material or at the very least
provisional if the rules are being adhered to. *snip* The rules have been

for the last two years and to continually violate them will only serve to
undermine collector confidence.

Dear List Members,
Here are some of my thoughts on Self Proclaimed Pairings Issues (SPPI).
I feel this subject needs to be breached again as a few have not caught on
to how destructive and lowly this practice is.
Saying something is "likely paired" is the same as saying "I am too cheap or
