Greg,

I think all meteorite specimens have a story.

Some of the stories are lost. Some are preserved.

Some stories will be more appealing to some people than they will be to
others.

If a rock hit a pond, or a dam, or a car or a road, etc. it is all part of
that rock's story. Some people will appreciate a rock more depending on the
particular story (history) it has. Some people will value such a rock more,
and some will even pay more.

I think my job is to tell the story, and let the buyers value them the way
they personally choose.

Is it a hammer? I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

Personally, I think that it being found just a few feet from water, where it
would have been lost forever, is kind of cool. If you are a bull dozer
operator, you might highly value that a rock impacted a man made dam. If you
live in Texas, you might like it. If you like oriented stones you might like
it. Lots of reasons to like it.

As a marketer, I am just trying to help people justify why they want to pay
a price for a rock I am selling. That's all.

Steve

All:

Doesn?t a ?Hammer? have to do damage to anything living (person, dog or
animal) or any made-made object? If a meteorite hit a tree and scraped off some
of the bark ? would that be a hammer? However, if a large meteorite struck
a sidewalk and chipped (damaged) it, then that may be considered a hammer.

Thanks,

Greg Stanley
