Lapidary position:The Lapidary has not adjudicated this dispute.The Lapidary's position is that OB-04 exists,is confirmed, and that its current locationis held by one of the two claimants.The Lapidary does not have the jurisdictionor the inclination to determine which.
THE DISPUTE — SUMMARY
Both Holder A and Holder B claim to have been in physical possession of OB-04. Their accounts of acquisition are incompatible. Each claims the other holds either a different fragment (unregistered, potentially significant) or a replica (which the Lapidary considers unlikely given the mass properties, which cannot be replicated by any known means).
The Lapidary has requested physical verification from both parties. Holder A has agreed to verification but set conditions the Lapidary found unacceptable. Holder B has not responded to the most recent three communications.
The dispute is open. The Lapidary has filed it as CONTESTED rather than UNKNOWN because at least one of the parties has the fragment, and the fragment is confirmed to exist.
