I do know what was there because I saw it myself and I just got off the
phone with Blaine to verify that I was indeed thinking about the same stone
before opening my big mouth on the list. It's an H6 according to NAU,
regardless of what you think it may be.

the fragments Mike Martinez had came from the 9.3kg stone I have photos of.
period. your failure to see is irrelevant.

I HAVE spoken to Marvin, and as i dont belive in commenting on private
discussion in public without the involvment of said person, i'll simply say
that we do not share the same conclusion based upon what we have been told.
Infact some of the things he has said run completly contrary to your
personal 'guarantees'
