[meteorite-list] Chalyabinsk rusting

[Don Merchant]

Hi all. Mike when you went there (Chelyabinsk) did you actually search for 
specimens or did you just purchase from people that already had collected 
them? Where did all your specimens go? As a regular Buyer from you, was kind 
of waiting for your specimens to be offered up for sale but must of missed 
them.
Thanks
Don
