Hi Drake,
            These are beautiful. I noted with interest they
Are made of aluminum, which means they are not, as
Indicated by another seller, magnets.
            The list and the other seller may be interested
To know that some scientific research on meteorites is
Dependant upon them NOT having ever been exposed
To a magnet. I had a researcher contact me last week
Who was all frothed up about the issue, saying everyone
Seems to be magnet crazy, which precludes use of said
Specimens in his research.
        So, people may (or may not) want to avoid magnetic
Exposure of their specimens.
        Personally, as a collector, I have not problem with it
And as far as I can see it affects one unique testing approach
And this guy may be the only one doing that type of research,
Making this issue relatively trivial, particularly to
Personal collectors.
        On the other hand, one never knows what kind of
Research may be discovered in the future which could be
Of significant importance and involve the need for
"magnetic virgin" material.
        Just a thought, Michael

When Jesus said, "Love your enemies" I think he
probably meant don't kill them.
