Hello, Al and the list,
this is the first time, I have seen this kind of story about a meteorite. In gems these are much more common. The best known case is the Hope diamond, and also this story can be told in many ways...;-
The first link is for the people with more imagination, the second for the more sceptic ones...;-

Hope has been in Smitshonian since 1962 and I haven�t heard about bigger catastrophes happened in the institute...;-
take care,
pekka

Hi Steve,
I think there is a certain type of people who like to buy something to just prove it can't happen to them or fascination of such objects that are cursed. I can't for the life of me think why a meteorite would be cursed even if it did fall on a horse or some other animal. The New Concord Meteorite is also alleged to have hit a horse with no ill consequences that I know of yet.
I also think there are people who buy this material so they can contain it. There have been several people on the radio recently with similar stories and I can't help believe that it is some sort of gimmick to get people to buy these items. In the radio show they were selling also. Why not give it away? The guy said he had to sell it so the ownership would be transferred. He was selling for more than a dollar though :-)
