Hi Martin,

If he wants to send payment for lab fees with proper type sample, then no problem. Both are needed to confirm authenticity and/or pairings or meteoritic origin.

It is a simple, but somewhat expensive, process. It is necessary, however.

Best regards,

Greg

Hi Greg,
so offer to Bob, that he sends his specimens to you and then you let it
check.
Sportsmanlike idea.....

Hi Mike, list and all,
Mike, I feel your pain. Unfortunately, you had many investors from the
past
that you had to give the NWA numbers to as well as us (i.e. 801...and
other
investments/NWA meteorites).
We had a small, select group of a scientist and one individual with us (along with two other investors stateside) who we had as researcher and investor last year who were on an expedition to Morocco and we know where all material is that we purchased, especially NWA 1877 (1110 from previous unaided trip). Therefore, when people attempt to sell NWA 1877 and 1110,
we
know the provenance of the tested material that we have and of our
investors, this is why we continue to harp on those not doing the right
thing and selling "supposed" pairings!
Bob, get a clue, your collectors/customers deserve better than
second-guess
stones you pass off as meteorites, much less than planetary or rare (or ordinary for that matter!). You are following a couple of the bad Moroccan dealer's "habbit"s of offering bad material for simple, quick gain. Get above that...
Best regards to all,
Greg
