Hi All,
       I agree----I like putting together smaller pieces of the rare
meteorites.....because they look nice all together on display.....and simply
because its hard for me to afford the larger pieces. This way.....I get a
variety of many different types.....some being extremely rare, like Lunar
and Martian pieces!!
This is why I like the amounts that Adam Hupe usually offers.....in this
way, a "little fish" like me can still get some "HEAVYWEIGHT" pieces at an
affordable price.....where if the piece was much larger.....I would not be
able to afford them right now. Just my 2 cents worth of chatter.
       Have a good weekend everyone!
                                                               Best,
                                                                    Kirk...........
