Interesting if true David but in 20 years of collecting I've come across
this scenario many times where "authorities" and people new to meteorites

Mendy, thanks for your advice. I'll consider what options I have as the next
step.
Sorry to bother all on the mailing list, on this particular matter, I will stop
copying the whole list in from now.
Best,

David,
Museums are not likely to want to test meteorites for authenticity for many
reasons. First and foremost, doing so takes time away from research and
classification of new material. Secondly, differentiating between two
meteorites of the same classification is difficult if not impossible
Are you joking? There are tons upon tons of Nantan. I've sold nearly a half a
ton.
I have a 92 kilo one sitting in Beijing and much more sitting in Tucson.

Thanks, Mike, I'd go even further in saying sadly 99% of the "meteorites"
circulating freely in and from China are terrestrial rocks! The real Nantan
meteorites in private collection are extremely rare, a total of around 40 kg.
There is also a rarer type of meteorites intertwined with and
David. Sorry but I do mineral shows in china. Everyone has a nice stamped paper
from one Chinese government source or another. Actually your piece certainly
looks like Nantan meteorite. Sadly Nantan is nearly worthless.

Thanks, Mike & Adam, for your valuable comments which I fully understand and
much appreciate. Fake meteorites and scandalous traders were indeed
acknowledged as a big problem in China, much like elsewhere.
I do however have reasonable confidence in the authenticity of the meteorites
as they

People are suckers and if they want to buy crap then let them. In china most
people want cheap. Well real good meteorites aren't cheap. So they buy fakes
and are happy with low prices.

It reminds me of the China Syndrome when hundreds of terrestrial stones
were sold to collectors as meteorites on eBay. Anything that was dark
and rounded including iron ore was sold to unsuspecting collectors as
meteorites fleecing them out of thousands of dollars. Some of them even
included
I agree fully. Great time to buy.

You are pissing in the wind. Lunars are about worthless now. Moroccans have
dropped the price to less than that of eucrites. I want just in Morocco. I saw
kilos and kilos is lunar.

It is funny that you mention Moroccans selling "lunar" material for
about the same price as Eucrites. The total weight of all Eucrites can
be measured in metric tons while real lunar meteorites can be measured
at less than 200 kilograms. Eucrites and terrestrial rocks are
definitely in mix
Just like Martians were a few years ago when the self-pairing and
piggy-backing reached an all time high at around 2012/NWA 7000. And
before that, it was falls when some less than honest dealers were
substituting NWA material in place of the real thing. I remember
Claxton, which I acquired
