I mean, if you're = not a real expert and doesn't have a lab, how can you know for sure you = get what you paid for? And what is the minimum size of a sample for it = to be possibly authentified? Any dealers to stay clear of? Thanks a lot Frederic Janik ------=_NextPart_000_0010_01C23E58.66C006A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi -</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Sorry if it may seem a very basic = question, but I=20 was wondering:</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Has there been proven cases that = meteorites sold as=20 "historic" and "famous" ones were not what they were supposed to be?
