Hello all,

 My understanding was that the vast majority of the Gibeon on the
market came out BEFORE Namibia instituted their legal restrictions. The
export of Gibeons actually prompted the government to put those restrictions
in place. Can one of the longer term dealers or hunters confirm this?

Ron Baalke's meteorite article quote:

Meteorites from Gibeon are being advertised for sale on
collectors' websites on the Internet - all illegally, since
export is forbidden.

We've frequently discussed the Campo issue, and Australian/Canadian export
laws, but I don't recall hearing much about legal/export difficulties with
Gibeon. Dealers/importers out there - what is your take on this?
