This is the same old shtick. Just another way to confuse what has to be learned
the hard way, by educating yourself before considering the purchase of ANY
"meteorite".
Who or what is trustworthy? It isn't obvious. This sounds like a case that
allows for confusion and defends chaos rather than
Good Morning Michael,
Thanks for taking the time to compose your excellent explanation. It gives not
only newcomers to the meteorite market, but all of us, a better appreciation of
the perils of pairing (not to mention self-pairing).
With best regards,

Forgive the numerous typos in my previous post - sometimes my fingers
move fast than my brain, and I have been known to have that problem in
the past. LOL.

Hi Robert!
I am glad to have this conversation, because I think it can shed some
light on the issues of provenance and authenticity for newcomers who
do not yet understand how the meteorite market works.
First, I want to emphasize for motive for asking the question was not

Maybe Michael's questions are rhetorical, but I haven't read any answers or
replies.
After all, in the past others have asked these same questions, and still never
any satisfactory answers.
But, allow me to answer the question of "how do you guarantee authenticity?",
by stating the obvious:
Hi all,
Just wanted to post here as it concerns my post to the IMCA list. My
post was basically exactly the same as posted here to the metlist and
also on facebook etc. I had posted to all these forums and lists to
say i had recently uploaded an article on a recent outreach event that
i had attend
Hi Jim,
That is exactly my point. Look, the last thing I want to do is pick a
fight with the IMCA. Been there, done that, don't want to do it
again. I buried the hatchet years ago and I wish the IMCA success in
their endeavors.
When anyone makes a statement that implies that IMCA-sourced speci
Mike,
Same goes with Sacramento Wash 005. How many of those have been sold
where the dealer has no clue!
And they are still being sold as such! No one freaking cares!

Please do not take this as a knock at the IMCA, because it is not
intended that way, and I certainly do NOT want to experience the old
"shoot the messenger" syndrome again.
I accidentally left out the word "NOT" in the above sentence! LOL.

How exactly does anyone "guarantee authenticity" in regards to meteorites?
Let's look at a typical example tha
Hello all!
The IMCA has but one purpose, does it not? How can you possibly argue
that???
It's for collectors, dealers and sellerspretty basic mission,
Authenticity . Nothing wrong with that!
And any kind of outreach by the IMCA very much appears to be a mistake
in perception.

Ray Watts said :
"I have been told in the past that out reach is over reach for the I.M.C.A."
Whoever said that, has no business being in the IMCA or any other
group that claims to be supportive of education and outreach. Walk
the walk or get the hell out.
My two cents.

Lets not lose hope or lay blame. Although Martin’s email was published 18 hours
ago, it is the weekend, and most people may be out enjoying the days off with
family and friends. That IMCA has not responded is disheartening.
