[meteorite-list] Rocks-Paper-Scissors - AD

Thu Dec 16 21:36:03 EST 2010

If someone would kindly loan me about $20K, I would go on a shopping
spree here.  LOL

Seriously though, those are some awesome specimens.  Those big olivine
diogenite pieces are super.  The big endcut reminds me of a piece of
marble cake.  The big palm-sized slice looks like a gourmet pancake.
Yummy.  :)
