Hi List,

I have built up a collection of wrongs by chance. Over the years,
when I'd find a wrong in a batch of unclassifieds, I'd toss it into a
box. Now I have a box full of weird rocks that I can bring myself to
toss out. Maybe one of them will turn out to be something rare one
day.

One of the only wrongs I have acquired intentionally is a 39g whole
slice of Shirokovsky. Fortunately, I was one of the later buyers who
knew it was a wrong when I bought it.

I do keep a few wrongs in my online store for collectors who like them
- some anorthosite lunar analogs, iron-silicate wrongs, and a piece of
copal that is a dead ringer for LDG.

Best regards,

MikeG
