Thank you, Matthias, Martin, Sterling, Chris and others I may have inadvertantly missed for providing such comprehensive science, photography and speculation on the provenance and composition of the Hajar-al-Aswad. I also thank Ted and Jan for sharing their experience and images.

I'm pleased to see that the predominant view, held also by Norbert, is that the "Black Stone" (It's not really black..now is it?)is a meteorite. And if I were asked... I would postulate that it is an iron based on the excellent photos shown to me last year.
