Dear Ken,
I contacted this yard bird a few days ago noting the classification
issue and that it looked questionable with out classification and that
the piece probably was way over priced for a questionable rock not
confirmed to be meteorite so he knows it is a suspicious item... He
played the game of getting it classified/offered to have it done as a
condition of salami doubt that this is anything other than a scam but
new to this joker.
