Thanks for the confirmation for everyone that what I have the the real thing.

I understand the need for caution when buying Lunar and Martian meteorites, but I also did not like the fact that people felt the need to question my credibility. I have never given anyone any reason the question me or anything I sell.
That said, who wants some of this awesome Lunar?
