Hello Anite and list,

realized that someone else had wanted to use my Allende to start their
collection.

Sorry to hear about your lost.  My experience with the public...in the 
education of meteorite...has been rather positive.  Few kids....young or 
old...do not find meteorites of interest.  We won't talk about the 600-700 
meteor-wrongs I have suffled through..:-)

Perhaps you would like me replace your missing Allende specimen with a piece 
from the Elbert King collection.  I understand our first meteorite is 
somewhat dear and while I can not replace it, I can provide you...free of 
charge...a nice (fresh) representive specimen in which hopefully, you would 
continue taking it to Gem shows.

Just e-mail your address off list,

Clear Skies,
