Oh come on Doug, Ratty old Moroccan chondrites, I hope it was a rotted out one, but still, it will fascinate hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps turn stamp collectors to meteorites, and at minimum, get meteorites in the news (which it already has). Heck, certainly no worse than orangutan carvings..... No harm, no foul, I have already ordered a pile of them. Mike Farmer

I feel bad about this this one. Even if you like the idea, it can only enrage the fire of the backlash in the world of saving meteorites for posterity. To each his own, I guess. How very stupid to pulverize a meteorite beyond recognition to encourage stamp collecting. I'll stick to edelweiss, and not change my opinion of the disproportionate amount of great contributions Austrians have made to the world. No sale here...
