Martin,

I really hoped to avoid discussing this on-list, and have already
replied privately to Jim. However, since you appear question both my
intelligence and my integrity:

- I'm happy to make clear that the material I have listed cannot be
stated as being from the same source as "your" NWA 4766 and the other
two LP. By "source" I mean dealer, nomad, market or wherever the stones
were procured. I have no public view on whether or not they are all the
same fall. Whatever.

- Selling strategies - I'll agree not to tell you how to price and
market your goods, if you agree to reciprocate the favour.

- I'm very clear, and happy, about the provenance of my material. I'm
delighted that your specimens are much larger than mine. I hope they
give you as much pleasure as I derive from my own.

With best wishes,
Mark
