Dear All,

Just watched a piece on The BBC News about the donation.
It was shown being placed in an MRI Scanner, searching for possible trapped
gasses.

Also shown was an auctioneer from one of the big houses in The UK. He was
asked to value it, but didn't actually do it, instead said that meteorites
can fetch upwards of ?20,00O, and the Lunar piece they sold a year ago went
for nearly a quarter of a Million!

Regards
