Hello Steve, All,
I'm going to say that this is no longer about Joe's find, but about
meteorites in general...Martin's message is replied to below this
post.
The scientific value in a meteorite is in the information it contains. To
obtain most of this information, a rock has to be cut,

I spoke to your criticism of Joe---and what was his difficult decision
whether or not to subdivide his specimen---as being overly judgmental
and condescending.
Your very first words in response to my thoughts were I wouldn't
expect anything less from a dealer, and you later
David's point is well-taken and I apologize. I went for the bait and
wish I didn't.
I should have just stated that no one has the right to impose their
aesthetic on others---or slam those who might disagree.
Moving on...

Martin,
Your last post has convinced me to nominate you for a Harvey Award this

If you did not like the prices of this fall just wait until after season 2 of

I would prefer not getting into this fray, but I believe something
needs to be said here. While I also personally prefer complete
specimens:

work;

The point, Darryl, is that I wouldn't care if it's the largest stone
or the smallest one - and I know for a fact that there are larger
stones from this fall that have already been found.
Just...look at those photos. It's a

Are your *replies* ever shorter than three *paragraphs* in *length*??
They are rather long winded, but I'm finding myself agreeing with a lot of
his points.

Not really...someone could still think it was so beautiful, but also not

Hi there, I can write even longer mails...
Well, I'm no native speaker, but in reading Jason's posting, I had the same
sensation like Darryl, that it was meant somewhat condescending...
...or better to say, that it was the good ol' comfort but nevertheless

Now we have everyone complaining that Joe cut up his stone and sold it for $60
a gram. WTF? that sure is a lot better than $500 a gram and did some
collectors a favor by allowing them to acquire this fall at a much more
reasonable price than meteoritemen inflated prices.

You don't seem to understand; I don't care about the price; $60/g is
$60/g, and I wouldn't buy any slices for $10/g. Well, at that price,
I might get some to resell, but I wouldn't keep them in the collection
-- it's not what I collect. Prices on this fall will...fall, as they
