[meteorite-list] Speck Issues - Reply to this subject

[Lasse Lindh]

Hi all

Personally I don't like specks or micro mounts, at least the ones with a 
small tiny something that requires a microscope to see what it is, and 
then the only thing you see its an unrecognizeable fragment. I think 
it's useless to buy a tiny fragment of a meteorite if you cannot see 
what it is or identify it (if it's a 3, 5 or 6 type etc.) or perhaps use 
it as a reference when id-ying other finds. Somehow I feel that selling 
and providing specks are dangerous because it can, as several already 
has mentioned here,  result in valuable meteorites being totally 
destroyed out of pure greed.

regards

Lasse
