[meteorite-list] Meteorite Self-Pairing = No-No!

[Matthias Bärmann]

Greg,



just my own experience on this field as a simple private collector (of 
course not as far as extensive as that of you professional dealers).



I've bought from several Moroccan dealers, well, not the ultra rare 
planetary stuff, but, for example, material of the last Maghreb falls such 
as Bassikounou, Chergach, Tamdakht as well as individuals of NWA 801, 
unclassified Pallasites, Diogenites, irons etc.



All stones I got were meteorites and turned out to be exactly that as what 
they had been offered for.



The motto simply should be: "know your dealer".  So please let me raise a 
toast to all serious, well caring, engaged, enthusiastic and fair dealers 
who earn their high reputation rightly - in America, Africa, Europe, 
everywhere.



Best regards,



Matthias
