Hello everyone,
I have added another postcard to the line of meteorite postcards I have been
producing. This one shows the Wild Horse meteorite before it was cut.
Limited to 500 copies of which 100 will go to the main mass.

I know who it is that you're dealing with and I've never had a problem with

Hi Doug and tektite fans,
Someone mentioned one time of putting tektites in a microwave oven for a

possible tektite. This seems reasonable to me but I'm not a real tektite
buff. If it is a tektite then it shouldn't get hot
