Right, Tom, but they are all messengers from out there, messengers from
the asteroid belt, from the realm between Mars and Jupiter with an
inherent
beauty, and Ghubara no less than any other of them. Just listen to "her"
certified identity: Ghubara, L5 chondrite, black, xenolithic, gas-rich
regolith breccia ... doesn't that sound like music in a collector's
ears?

Wonderful, Tom! But also show them the delicate beauty of a chondrule.
I am not talking dollars but the beauty and delicacy of every inch of
Ghubara.

Tom, I did not want to be rude. That's not my style. I apologize if I
sounded rude. I want you to listen to your heart, not to some people's
meaningless opinions.

Good night,

Bernd
