(meteorobs) Stone at Mecca

[MARK BOSTICK]

Hello Rob and List,

Rob noted, "I suppose I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it's a 
tektite -- at least that would make it a temporary space rock... ;-)"

It is written that when they stole the stone back, it is the middle-east 
now, that the stone was varified because it floated on water.  Neither 
meteorites or tektites float.  It is possible that a tektite, with a very 
very large bubble it in might float.

I don't think many scientifically minded meteorite people think it is a 
meteorite.

Non-Muslins can not enter the city, and due to its symbolism, I doult we 
will ever know.  It is in a very strange cabinet, which you might find a 
photograph of on-line, I can't remember where I saw it.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
