Hello List and BL-owners,

I have never had a meteorite classified and so I don't know how much
such a classification would cost. But there are about 40 BL-owners.
Now what if one piece of these unique stones was sent to an institution
for classification. Each owner of one of these BL's might then pay 1/40
of the sum such a classification costs. It would be put on everybody's
shoulders, not just on one person's and all of us could profit from the
outcome. Just an idea.
