Hello Martin and List,

Please clarify who you refer to by "floridacoasters". I presume you refer to
Stan and not one of the several Florida meteorite collectors/dealers like
myself.

Best regards,
Greg

A knight in a rusty armour is better than a rogue in a golden robe.

IMCA-labels reduce the probability especially for the beginners to fall for
such sellers like the Minors, de Russes, Lindforses, Evanses,
floridacoasters of the world and the Far-East-fakes-sellers... remarkably.

Good day.
Martin
