Hello, Al and the list,

this is the first time, I have seen this kind of story about a meteorite.
In gems these are much more common. The best known case is the
Hope diamond, and also this story can be told in many ways...;-

The first link is for the people with more imagination, the second for
the more sceptic ones...;-

Hope has been in Smitshonian since 1962 and I havenīt heard about
bigger catastrophes happened in the institute...;-

take care,

pekka
