True Ruben,
Steve Arnold did make an extraordinary trade offer for the Canyon Diablo
piece. One that I couldn't refuse.
He made it verbally over the phone and when I went to cancel the auction you
had already bought the piece. I think it sold in less than 20 minutes after
the auction started.
So I apologize for not canceling the auction before you bought the piece.
I also apologize for Steve Arnold for rubbing salt in your wounds by
displaying the piece on the " Rocks from Space Picture of the Day".
You have your money back and my apologies.

Bob
