[meteorite-list] Fake meteorite

2006-12-06 Thread m.mackintosh
Dear Meteorite list,

First of all I would like to thank the three people who very kindly sent me 
advice about E-Bay and possible fake emails.

I now have another problem, which perhaps someone could give me advice 
about:

I recently bought a Sikhote Aline Meteorite with quote- '' typicl fresh 
blue-black fusion crust ''

However the so-called blue-black fusion crust rubs off with only a finger 
nail pressure revealing shiny metal underneath !!!

Could someone tell me if this is a common and normal accurance ?

The seller from Florida issued me with a very nice 'Certificate of 
Authenticity', and the meteorite was not cheap !

With best wishes,

Moray

[meteorite-list] e-bay

Dear List,

I would like to say how grateful I am for all the interesting emails on this 
site. I am very much a beginner in collecting minerals, some crystals, local 
stones and five meteorites, which I love ! This site has given me the 
opportunity to learn a lot and I am very happy with it. The only small 
problem is that I got a 'fake' email from E-Bay today, which I deleated as 
fast as possible !!!
With greetings,
MM
