The focus is on the story - they aren't paying to go see a real
meteorite, it's about the story. If someone is doing it on ebay it's for
their own profit and someone is actually going to loose by it. In this
case no one looses as no one knows any better. Offering her a real piece
of a meteorite is a good idea, but directly attacking her and forcing
her to accept that her family history is incorrect, and that she must
take a new piece of meteorite, will not help anyone. It will cause
negative publicity for her, no collector will gain, and children will
not be interested anymore.=20

=20

If she chooses to believe what her mother told her, so what? We know
it's not right, and if she tries to sell the stone we can do something
about it. Till then she isn't hurting anyone.=20

=20

The principle of the matter I understand. It's not a meteorite. But in
the circumstances, let it go. For the sake of the children, if you know
what I mean. Lets rather start a thread on something we can gain from.=20
