[meteorite-list] David New

[MARK BOSTICK]

Trammell noted "I have purchased diamonds from him."

David New is a long time diamond expert.  I was talking about this with a 
friend of his, Art Elhmann (TCU curator) once as David is a common friend.  
Art and David have been good friends for years. Art noted to me that David 
use to go to the mineral shows and search for diamonds with a perfect 
natural crystal formation. Sellers thought it was strange as he was less 
interested with what the diamond looked like inside.  Personally I think I 
would rather have a natural one with perfect shape then one with a terrible 
shape but a microscopic flaw inside...comparatively.

Clear Skies,
