I had never seen anything like it and to be honest, I had my doubts. Then the situation progressed and I thought, wow, this is spectacular and you must admit, it's one hell of a piece! My first thoughts when this came to fruitation was a Manganese Nodule highly abrated and managed to surface itself on a beach, that's when the story began. I withdrew into my shell in disgust and embarrassment and then Lovina erupted again and I was excited. Now this latest issue... Please, you've got to stop. I've been on this roller coaster ride for a long time and I'm about to puke ;-)) But in the great words of Mike G, even though I don't own any Lovina, whatever is associated with it has been suspended from sale until further notice. -----Original Message----- From: meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com [mailto:meteorite-list-bounces at meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Michael Gilmer Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 7:54 PM To: Count Deiro Cc: Meteorite-list List; Baiyu Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Lovina: most likely not a meteorite Well said Count. I agree 100%. Of course, meteorite or not, it's still worth acquiring (IMO). :) Best regards, MikeG -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Galactic Stone & Ironworks - Meteorites & Amber (Michael Gilmer) Website - http://www.galactic-stone.com Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Galactic-Stone-Ironworks/218849894809686 News Feed - http://www.galactic-stone.com/rss/126516 Twitter - http://twitter.com/galacticstone EOM - http://www.encyclopedia-of-meteorites.com/collection.aspx?id=1564 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- ] On 5/24/11, Count Deiro <countdeiro at earthlink.net> wrote: > I know how disappointed you must be, Darryl.
