Dear List,

I was asked by a list member if I felt these offerings were real.

We tested some of this material for Habbibi almost a year ago. The
$30,000.00 eucrite he is selling is very interesting. He used the term
"milted" meaning melted which is a good term to describe this HED meteorite.
Some of the glassy melted areas are more than a centimeter across. This is
a very odd and beautiful eucrite. I would be happy with a complete slice of
this one if somebody else is willing to purchase the main mass.

The R-chondrite he is selling is different from NWA 800 and 978 as I have
seen a small sample in the lab. He said it came from Ouzina which I have no
reason to doubt since its chondrules look just like the Ouzina R4 that was
for sell a couple years back.

As for the Martian I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of this piece
since he was the second dealer in contact with the nomadic group who
discovered NWA 1068/1110 and provided us with a few samples for
certification. It looks from the image on eBay to be the real McCoy.

Even though I have my differences, in all fairness, these offerings look
genuine.

I would say that these are legitimate specimens at good prices, especially
the CR2 at $10.00 a gram and everybody accused Bessey of dumping at $23.50 a
gram.

Some of you may think I am crazy by not taking this opportunity to degrade a
perceived competitors auctions but I would rather error on the side of
honesty than cut down what I believe to be, this time, reasonable offerings.

Wishing everybody the best,
