Hi Phil,
Just a thought...did you do any tests to determine what this is?
Hardness? Specific Gravity? The common consciences of the picture is
quartz, so the hardness should be close to 7 mohs and the specific
gravity about
2.65.
A streak plate has a hardness of about 7. So if you took a

What a pity. Europe is no longer a good place for meteorites to fall. France
and Norway can't seem to get their falls worked on for years.

Another case of governments trying to control every aspect of everybody's lives
when they do not know squat!.
Freedom has never been for free and we are losing it on a daily bases. This
seems to be a worldwide phenomenon.
Pretty soon, you will not even be able to touch a meteorite and they
Hi List,
This is stupid. What is the harm in letting the stone be classified?
Slice off 20 grams and donate it to science. It is the right thing to
do.
This is not a government issue as Adam said. These are private
individuals hoarding the stone - which they are legally entitled to
do. Just
Gosh Mike!
You say this like it's something new!
;)
Have a great day!

As soon as the press or media becomes involved, it quickly becomes a government
issue. 90% of the time, the media does more harm than good. It seems if
something might have a bit of value, governments are quick to restrict access
or try to control it.

Martin,
Thanks for posting! I think I was able to decipher the article's
translation. I am left with the impression that all the Norwegian
scientists are asking is that the Grefsen be classified?
I did check the MetBull and this is the result: No records found for
meteorites with names that
the main problem is that Knutjurgen has always claimed to be chasing meteorites
as a scientist and was able to convince the finder to sell to him to protect it
from us evil dealers. Now look who is just after the money. I was attempting
to acquire the mass, and if I had been successful, I
One problem is that the press rarely mentions collaboration between scientists,
collectors and finders. The owner of the main mass may not trust their
government and feel the need to protect his/her assets. I am sure a lot of
U.S. finds are not being reported or shared for the same reason.

Hi List,
Last year I ran into a meteorite zombie in Novato playing a guitar.
This year I spotted some zombies in Vegas. I was able to get a few
pictures before they moved on.
Happy Halloween!
