I have received several emails asking = about another dealer's comments that he heard that the material we = received had been soaked in water. This is absolutely false! It was = merely a marketing ploy on his part to get sales. I have heard from = customers who have purchased from us and the others and commented that = both specimens are EXACTLY alike, same condition, etc. The only = difference is that the specimens we have listed do not have the finder's = statements. Remember that these are still the same material from the = SAME fall. My comment in the eBay description regarding a woman "blessing" a = stone with holy water does not refer to any of the specimens we have on = eBay. It is simply one of the many exciting stories about the human = interaction regarding the fall, similar to the many that have and will = come out of the Park Forest fall. I have started them out at $4.00 per gram with a "Buy it Now" at $6.00 = per gram. I am merely passing on the savings we received by being the = first to receive these and were able to purchase them at a decent price. = What you see is what we have left for sale, we will be keeping anything = else in our collection. If anyone has any questions or comments, please email me off list at = gmhupe_at_attbi.com=20 Thank you and best regards, Greg Hupe IMCA 2185 The Hupe Collection ------=_NextPart_000_00F1_01C30810.3F317290 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 http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1141" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hello Adam,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>We have been looking for an individual = of this,=20 under 100 g. of museum quality for our museum area.
