So, you carry a rock to D.C. that isn't even organic and expect the experts
at the Smithsonian to genuflect?

You are tilting at windmills.

Reminds me of the true story of a frend who found a stone wheel with stone
axel on his property in the Hudson Valley in an area where Indian artifacts
are found often.  He and others thought it to be an Indian toy, and mailed
it off the the Smithsonian.

Months passed with no reply.

Finally, convinced that the Smithsonian had his "toy" on display, he wrote
demanding a response.

The Smithsonian responded that it had taken several months because many
Native American  experts wanted to examine it; but nobody could identify it.

It was finally determined that the "toy" was a corroded "D' cell flashlight
battery that had lost its metal cover, and most of its electrolyte, leaving
the center shaft and a residue of electrolyte.
