Hi, Gary, I was de-e-mailed at the time of the Pocket Rock survey, so couldn't contribute, but for years and years, I carried a 20 gram ODESSA, that had been tumbled in a rock polisher until it was a gleaming nugget of celestial stainless steel. Then, it disappeared, as pockets contents often

I carry one or two around any time that I'm going to meet people who are at all interested in astronomy or even just groups of people in general. I've had several people say things to me like "I've got a rock just like that in my rock garden". So far none of them have been the real thing but you

Gary list, Nice thread. My pockets have been full of rocks since childhood, and the space rock thing hasn't improved matters. I typically carry a nice crusted NWA chondrite and a little Sikhote or Canyon Diablo (today it was the latter). Being a tektite guy, I usually carry a nice little
