Hello Mike, All,

With my most recent batches of submissions, I noticed that the more
interesting classifications were/are often held up due to insufficient
analytical justification (according to the folks in charge of
approving classifications). Equilibrated OC's all went through in a
matter of days or weeks, and the more interesting stones are...still
held up.

So when a list of equilibrated OC's like that comes up with ~10
missing numbers -- and all of the stones appear to have been submitted
by the same owner at the same time via the same classifying
institution -- you can be fairly certain that there are interesting
classifications still in the works.

Regards,
Jason
