HI,

With great respect, Adam, your references to Claxton and Peekskill do not comport with what I've read -- as well was what I've experienced -- and I don't think I'm going out on a limb here by suggesting I'm not alone here. All the best / Darryl

Peekskill can be had for a fraction of the price it once sold for. The asking is price is way too high on this new Howardite when the famous Kopoeta Howardite with much more history and much less total weight only fetches around $100.00 a gram at auction.
