Stan,

Self-proclaimed pairings are considered bad business. I don't understand why
you cannot wait a week or two to get an official lab report with official
pairing statements since NAU provides this data. It is simple to mention
that you strongly suspect other pairings but using official numbers to
enhance the value of an unofficial stone is wrong. By the way, if I was to
use your standards of pairing, there is at least 10 more kilograms paired to
your supposedly unpaired Acapulcoite including NWA 2989 as they look
identical to me, you can't have it both ways!

Adam
