I agree entirely with you John.

I see almost daily on the MetList people selling all kinds of rare
classifications, not just ureilite, but also carbonaceous, like, just a
few weeks ago, CM, CO, and even a CO3.2!! not just CO, or CO3, but
CO3.2!!!!
This is outrageous, and ridiculous. There is no way to tell a
classification that precisely without a lab, an electron microprobe,
and an expert meteoriticist reading the results.
To me this is totally unacceptable, and I most certainly would not buy
that. In fact I do not even buy without proper provenance!
Maybe I am difficult, but I'd rather say that I am very careful, and I
want to protect, not just me but my clients too.

Anne and list,

This has always perplexed me.
How man people make a claim of a classification, particularly a rare
one, without classifying it? Then every time I ask them about price,
they expect me to pay the going rate for that classification on ebay?
It has never made sense to me, and frankly, it has kept me from wanting
to buy more specimens of this sort, because I feel like my chances of
being multiply.
Hope you are all well.
Cheers,
John

Frankly I don't care who it is for sale to, what I want to know is:

How do the seller know that it is a ureilite?
Has it been classified?
And by who?

And No, I am certainly not buying without that information.

I received it so it was sent to me as we'll. it is just strange to not
just say
for sale. Why for sale to only certain people?
