[meteorite-list] eBay meteorite, meteorwrong, or....?

Hi folks! I've seen this meteorite up for auction several times in the last few months, and I am wondering if this is real, fake, or someone who doesn't know what they have? Does anyone have an opinion on this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=260300858270 Regards, MikeG

Sorry if this is a duplicate Hi, In my opinion, this is Cumberlandite. The guy is from Woonsocket RI and THAT IS the source of Cumberlandite. If you go to his web site (http://www.newmeteor.com/)one of his photos clearly shows tiny white plagioclase crystals. For more info see
