Do you mean to tell us that the so-called Emerald Meteorite is TOXIC MATERIAL?
I understand that people have bought some of this material as meteorites.
Have these people been notified that they have been sent a dangerous
substance? Has the EPA been notified that a toxic material has been
distributed to the unsuspecting public? Isn't the selling of toxic material
without the proper permits a felony?
