[meteorite-list] Sober thought

[mail at mhmeteorites.com]

Documentation is of the utmost importance. For example, I have photos of the owner of Worden holding the piece, a pic of the garage roof and the car that was smashed. I think I still have the cancelled check!

A signed affidavit is always nice. I know Darryl Pitt provided that with every chunk of Valera he sold.

Hello,

(I really meant to stay out of that discussion, but.............)

Yes, there were two Valera stones, one hammered a cow, the other one simply 
impacted the ground.
Now, when you buy a piece of Valera, how do you know that you are getting a 
piece of the cow-killer? No blood on it, I believe.
 
And the question applies to most of the other "hammers" on the market. The 
only probable exceptions being pieces with a bit of paint, red for Peekskill or 
Worden, yellow for one of the Park Forest. The rest.....???????????
 
I just sold a very nice slice of Valera, I most certainly did not present it 
as a hammer. 
 
Just my opnion.

As it regards Venezuela's extraterrestrial hammering.....Valera is a
