Yeap, that's true. The specimen that Martin is auctioning off for
poor little Emanuel is a genuine piece of the new lunar breccia
Dhofar xxx, lab.nr. "2001", so you can bid with confidence! The
classification has already been done (incl. O-isotope analysis),
and I can assure you that this is the real McCoy.

Hey Martin, I think it's a fabulous idea to auction this piece off
for charity, and I'm very proud that my new lunar will help this
little guy! So bid high, bid often - I don't have any of this
special lunar left for sale, so it might be your last chance to
add it to your collection, and to do it without buyer's remorse ;)

All the best,
Norbert
