The Jupiter meteorite is undoubtedly close kin to the 'ghost in a jar' that
was recently offered for sale on ebay; i.e., a fictional fut. If she lived
in CA, why on earth did she have these rocks 'authenticated' by a museum in
Hawaii, and one that doesn't have a resident specialist in meteorites?
Shoots, as far as I know, they don't even have a piece of the Honolulu
meteorite! John, maybe as a professional courtesy, you should forward her
letter to Bishop Museum and let them yell at her, if needed. Was it a real
paper letter, or a spam-like e-mail? Did she mention a name for her
'expert'? If you want/need an address, I'll scare it up for you.

>Hello List,
>In this morning's mail, I received an unusual letter from a Mrs. Cheung in
>Alamo, California. The letter says they are contacting me (the recipient
>of the letter) for a friend who wants some help selling some meteorites in
>her possession. It goes on to say that some of the stones have already
>been identified as meteorites by the Bishop Museum in Honolulu.
>
>They list five different samples that have been identified by the museum
>and they list densities for the specimens but no weights.
>
>Here is the interesting information in the letter.

>" In addition to the samples she has given us some photographs of the
>meteorites. During a conversation with her, one of the meteorites was
>identified as coming from the planet Jupiter."
>
>Imagine that, a meteorite from Jupiter!
>
>If anyone wants to pursue this, let me know and I'll give you the contact
>information....;-)
