stuff has only about 40% the density of the

Hi John and List,
I would not buy into this fraud either. Never owned a piece and never
will.
I try to collect only real meteorites. To me, this stuff is slag with
olivine and nickel thrown in to try and fool the meteorite collecting

Hello Adam
The Park Forest splash forms were never sold because they were never tied
to
the March 26th event even though they were found at two impact sites.
Interestingly, other List members located some of the same forms weeks
later. Colby Navoro, a very religious person whose house was
Jim and Bill,
This meteor-wrong has been studied extensively. I believe the consensus of many
to date is that it is terrestrial, and possibly man-made. Matt Morgan was
involved in one such study and that reference is somewhere in the archives.
Here is a statement from the meteorite society.
If it is not a meteorite, then it should be just another cheep rock. Anyone
want to sell me one cheep? Personaly I think that whatever it is it would be
nice in a collection. Don't you agree? Jim

If you are interested in obtaining a specimen of Shirokovsky, you might try
contacting Serge at Comet Meteorite Shop. He had quite a bit of this
material at the last Tucson Show and has been known to sell it from time to
time on Ebay. His Ebay user name is cometshop21.
Best,

Cheap is a relative term. It is a lot cheaper now versus when it was first sold
as a new pallasite find. But since it is cool looking material that appears
to be similar to a pallasite, it is still not $0.10/g or lesslike cheap
chondrites and irons. Pricing is still in the $1 to $3 per gram

Well, it is valuable because it is not a meteorite. So of course meteorite
This official statement which can be found a the link below tells me that
this pretty junk was created in a furnace.
Obviously, olivine of the Shirokovsky rock was not equilibrated with the
matrix melt. The clast-laden melt was cooled and crystallized rapidly, under
oxidizing conditions.

Dear Marcin;
We collect many oddities, shirokovsky is a great oddity! Some of us
have a brick from the old H.H. Ninninger Meteorite Museum, and some have
a piece of very collectable toilet porcelain from there as well. Wild
crazy oddities are collectable, even at respectable prices.
