[meteorite-list] Possibly meteorite related sale

[Mr EMan]

Hello Darren  these are not the carbonados(sp) --the comet related diamonds of extra hardness.  Carbonados can't even be cut as they are stronger than terrestrial diamond dust which is used to cut diamonds.  When used in drill bits they are fused as found into the metal.
