I'm sorry, I have never heard about that one. Thats pretty interesting, is it
valuable? Mine doesnt look like that, but I can't see the interior to really
see what it looks like. Here is a link that works, the one you posted didnt
work. Thanks.

Hi Joe,
I have a small 10.2 gram slice of this on eBay. It could be a chance to get it
at
a really good price. If it is a meteorite, it will be worth a lot. It is being
tested both at ASU and by Professor A. Basu, who is testing a thin slice of it.
He thinks it may be a new find. If it turns out not to be a new meteorite, it
will be a rare terrestrial stone, it tests pos for Ni, we all know that there
is only 1 know terrestrial stone that contains native FeNi, and it is found
only in Syberia.
You have forgotten josphenite from Oregon:
