Thats what I was trying to say, that yours was bought years ago in one la=
rge lot. I was not implying in any way you "lump" meteorites.

the same nomad. There were over 100 kilograms of identical stones, from t=

 I NEVER lump meteorites into a name. =20

Hello Gregory and list,

me "Oum Rokba" has almost become somewhat of a catch-all. =20

I have seen that to be the case several times myself on questionable "Oum=
 Rokba's" sold the last year. I believe that the Oum Rokba's myself, Cot=
tingham, Farmer have been selling from time to time to be from large lots=
 boughts a couple years ago. (When you get several kilos of tiny stones i=
t takes a while to go through them). There is a habit to name or want =
to name meteorites from the towns they are purchased in or around Morocco=
. Most list members probley remember the Rasini meteorites on eBay not l=
ong ago. Care should be taken when purchasing any african meteorite (or =
any other meteorite as far as that is concerned.). =20

I think I have a nice polished slice on my website of Oum Rokba the H5 in=
 case some list members would like to compare there pieces. =20

PS: Give me a 5 kilo moroccan over a 300 gram American meteorite anyday.
