<HTML>Here we see the sample had a layer of a white coating on the OUTSIE, exactly as we had speculated.
***************
<b>There is a much more definitive and important finding. The Lauer sample from the Great Pyramid is particularly important because it has a white coating on it that is topped by reddish-brown paint. Every geologist who has examined this white coating agrees that it is synthetic. They may argue with each other as to whether or not this white coating is stone or some kind of hard plaster, but they all agree that it is man-made.
Importantly, chemical analyses of this white coating show the same unusual mineralogy as the bulk of the Lauer sample. These minerals include apatite, brushite, a volcanic form of silica, and a very small amount of the synthetic zeolite ZK-20. It is not usual for zeolites to form during the natural geological formation of limestone. The zeolite crystals are more likely the result of a subsequent chemical reaction, geopolymerization. The synthetic zeolite ZK-20 occurs when natron is reacted with organic ammonium. The ammonium can come from urine or collagen from flesh or bone.</b>

However, the sample seems to have been seperated FROM this white coating before analysis... here:
**********
<b>These minerals are not water soluble. In other words, they could not have migrated from the white coating to the body of the sample or vice versa. The odds against the bulk of the Lauer sample having a naturally occurring, rare mineralogy that matches the mineralogy of the synthetic white coating are astronomically high. It is more logical to conclude that both the synthetic white coating and the limestone (which each contain minerals typical of a geopolymeric chemical reaction) are geopolymeric products.

and here:
**********
<b>Pyramid blocks were made by adding natron and lime to the kaolinitic limestone quarries at Giza, and then putting these ingredients into solution by flooding the quarries with water from the Nile. </b>
**********
So, the materials about which we debate are the EXACT same materials... one applied by nature, one applied by man. Both existing in the samples PRIOR to testing.
Ugh.
