Marcin, Adam and others:

While I provided Marcin's site to the list as a location to buy this meteorwrong...I will not spend a penny on what I also think is man-made material for profit. Maybe someday I'll get a piece for free, or by having one thrown into a trade for something else to add to my "wrong" collection. For now it is for somebody else to buy, not me.

> Second,
> Half of market success of Shirokovsky is this how this mineral was prepared.
> Give us 1mm thin brahin slices with 90% transparent olivines, and I (and not
> only me) pay more than for Shirokovsky.
> Third
> Its just cool looking thing, and we collecting cool things, so its
> "must-have" specimen in our collections not mater if this is meteorite or
