Do you know where they are???? It's huge, and is super heavy, and has all the features!" me: "Is it roundish and smooth?" him: "No, it's really cool-like, has all the scoops and stuff!! Really heavy, magnetic too! I heald it...gotta be 50+ pounds! You gotta see it!!" Of course, he went running away, and I kept walking the grass field...... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brien Cook" <contact at briencook.com> To: <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2012 11:57 AM Subject: [meteorite-list] eBay auction for Coloma Meteorite is being pulled > I've been following this auction and here are the seller's additional > statements... > > > On May-04-12 at 11:54:58 PDT, seller added the following information: > I added a picture of the area where the crust is missing.
