Greetings all,

The Beaver Meteorite was used to prop open a door at a local jail house for
40 some years. Cost for the specimen was finding another stone that cold be
use to prop same door open which the buyer found in the form of a chunk of
cement because rocks in the area were non-existent. Best!
