Hello to everyone. I am a new collector and subscriber to the list. When I
join a new list, I usually just observe for awhile before I put my foot in
the water (to avoid putting my foot in my mouth!). But I am particularly
interested in the history of meteorites, and I noted the comment about the
meteorite looking like chocolate.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that peasants used to grind up
meteorites hundreds of years ago and eat them for their "magical"
properties. I checked Burke's history of meteorites very quickly, but
couldn't find the reference.
Is there anyone out there that read the same thing? And I do apologize in
advance if I am saying something that everyone knows already - remember,
this is my first post.
Thanks, now I'll go back and just watch the list postings.
Glad to be a subscriber, and a great hobby!
Mark Grossman
PS - Regarding the lost meteorite, I am not at all inferring that anyone's
friends are peasants!
