Hi Adam and List, Biggest? Maybe. Best? No. From what I have heard about Chinese rock shows - many of the specimens are bogus. Fake Moldavite. Fake fossils. Fake meteorites. I realize this problem is not restricted to Chinese shows, but China has made an art-form out of specimen forgery. I'd have to drag a team of experts with me and have them test any piece I was thinking about buying.
