Dear Bob; 
I think it tends to speak of one's personal character when one copies /borrows
without favor/ out right furnishes  others' descriptions and doesn't cite
the original source.  
Lazy comes to mindmentally lazy.  No, last I knew the ebay descriptions
police didn't waste time on  small word thiefs.'Wouldn't call it corrupt,
just lacking mental character and personal motivation. Just the kind of 4.0
meteorite dealer we love to support during times of easy sales and great
meteorite market activity, and thriving prices like we all experience today!

Poo-poo you.

Well, you asked,
I won't buy from or sell to Evans, as he still didn't paid the 1000 bucks,
he's owing to Ralew,
and shows no efforts to do so. Perhaps the revenues of his auctions will
help him to do so.

Stan,

For your information NWA 2115 has not been published yet in the Meteoritical
Bulletin.  There is no doubt it will become official as all of the proper
steps have been taken to make it so.  It is up to scientists to prove a
pairing between the two but I do not doubt a pairing relationship between
1877 and 2115.  I have no problem with this because proper steps were taken.

All the best,

Adam

spent preparing this material.  We used a penetrant stabilizer before
polishing even begun to prevent the large crystals from being plucked during
polishing.  This is important because the crystals have cleavages that are
easily fractured during preparation.  No less than 10 polishing steps on a
diamond lap was needed to take these specimens to a 3,500 grit polish,
something you do not see everyday.  This material is rarer than a
Brachinite, a Chassignite or even a Lodranite.  Even though this is number
two, it still represents the rarest of all classifications in private hands,
there is nothing rarer!


Bobs stolen description and link to auction:

This is a LARGE 1.2 Gram Fragment of NWA 1877. This  is the second rare
"Olivine Diogenite" in private hands, found 2003 in Northwest Africa.  A
weight of only 312 grams is recorded for this find.  NWA 1459 is the only
other Olivine Diogenite available to the public and weighed a mere 49 grams.
After cutting losses and type specimen deposits there is less than 220 grams
of this material left in private hands including NWA 1459. This material is
believed to represent the deepest sample, yet recovered, from the asteroid
Vesta. This  material is rarer than a Brachinite, a Chassignite or even a
Lodranite.  NWA 1877 represents the rarest of all classifications in private
hands, there is nothing rarer! This gorgeous meteorite is a must have for
any serious or new meteorite collector !

Not only is using NWA numbers that do not match his pieces he has stolen
several other descriptions and ideas from us, he is a complete fraud.  Check
out his other auctions and compare.

All the best,

Adam Hupe
