Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud from Portugal?
I went to Portugal after the fall, got nearly 10 kg, 99% of what was ever sold, and sold nearly all at $10 gram. Anyone selling at $1 gram is either losing their shirt (easy on eBay) or pulling a scam. You decide which. Adam, stick with alien crap, you are clearly out of the meteorite loop these days.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud from Portugal?
A piece of the alien crap realized the highest price at the Blood auction beating out every meteorite offering. It would have gone higher but most of the people into UFOology were attending a convention in Phoenix Arizona at the same time the auction was going. A lot of people were pretty subdued at the auction until the alien crap was put up for bid. Then the room was full of laughter and became animated.It added a lot to making the social auction fun. As far as meteorites go, I have a multimillion dollar inventory that I am sitting on until the economy gets better or the very limited market thickens. Until them, I will offer a limited amount of meteorites and diversify into much hotter markets like artifacts.

I bought a chunk for $1.12/gram from a reputable dealer on eBay over two years ago according to my notes.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud from Portugal?
I will provide the provenance at the time of sale. Micheal, I will let the seller know that you think he is a scammer even though his reputation is excellent and he considers you a friend. For all I know, you probably provided him with the piece. That is the problem with falls, a few bad apples have ruined it for the rest of us by introducing doubt into the market. The meteorite fall bubble burst a few years ago and non-fall bubble a long time before that. It took me years to unload my North American find inventory, most of which came from TCU and I was lucky to break even. I was barely getting a dollar a gram for the material even though its provenance was spotless. I enjoy meteorites and still contribute to the community any chance I get. If I need some write-offs, I will be sure to flood the market. Best Wishes and Good Luck to all those selling at the Tucson Show.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud from Portugal?
Hello All, In all fairness, that Ourique does look ~ok. H-chondrites with similar regolith textures are around, but not common, and those pieces look fresh enough. The Chaves does look a bit funny, but it's also very small. If the seller says the specimen came from Corey, I'd double-check with Corey. If you check the Meteoritical Bulletin page's photos, you'll see at least one piece that was sold by Jorge Gonçalves, and which appears to be an L5 chondrite. I'd be worried, but Corey should know what he sold.

Re: [meteorite-list] Fraud from Portugal?
The brecciation with light colored clasts is consistent with Ourique, but without provenance it is difficult to substantiate. Same for Chaves, there are many NWAs that have similar characteristics. gary On Feb 10, 2014, at 9:30 AM, Don Merchant dmerc...@rochester.rr.com wrote: Hi List. Just sent this Seller asking if any of their items come with a COA + Provenance + ID card and if they guarantee authenticity.. If the Seller says no Provenance, COA or ID card I will pressure them on how they can sell without these important documents. Will keep all of you posted.
