I couldn't care less about your accomplishments or who you know. After $5,000 and a week in hell , tell me you wouldn't keep a meteorite = the size of a nickel. Lets be realistic , if you say that you wouldn't , you would be lying. Do you collect meteorites? I assume that you do. Were all of your meteorites legally exported from the locations that = they were found? Seeing as this is such a sensitive issue for you , I'd assume that you = researched them all before you acquired them. Or did you? I know you couldn't possibly find them all your self. But purchasing = meteorites that were illegally exported would be as bad as illegally = exporting them yourself. So , do you really care about legalities or are you just an envious = hypocrite? Have a good day!
