Any serious person will check them out before spending a sizable amount of money You spent 40.00 on a phony but, look what it got you your now an expert on the whole subject You know what they say about guilt or innocence in the criminal justice system " Its better that 100 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man be found guilty " here's how that applies to meteorites Its better that a 100 people buy a 40.00 fake than 1 real meteorite be discarded Also even fake meteorites can make people curious and genuinely interested which means your collection is worth more just by the amount of that interest I am a licensed landscape contractor and guess what? I charge more because a lot of times the unlicensed can't do the work therefor more work is funneled to me more demand for a higher standard means more for $ me. I think meteorites will naturally follow that same course and be found out in the end only to the benefit of the legitimate collector I really think the focus should be on quicker and more conclusive testing Universities are not well equiped for real testing and I know by thier methods they are probably overlooking the most rarest type the low metals since they primarily test with a magnet Where are all the private labs hiding where you can pay and find out EXACTLY what you have? , they are out there but' their not set up for meteorite ID that well Its not an easy process getting a straight answer on a rock sample in fact its very difficult it needs to be streamlined Is their a machine you can buy to test samples? shove it in like an oven turn a dial out comes a print out of your samples enerts, if there is I'm going to get one and start charging all those fakers 5$ each to conclusively absolutely, undeniably certifiably identify their ? I think ther could be a big demand What do you think? Also check this out, this is what the universitiy called quartz let me know what you think http://www.FINDALLTRADES.COM/projects/Snowwhite.htm Thanks John Here's my quote "leave them alone, and they'll come home wagging their tales behind them" Little bo peep --------------D11EE9C73131A3EC439F7FE0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <p>Ken , I think your making to big a deal out of this.
