That was I, and thank you. The Nital I was using was what I use for standard metallographic sample preparation at 2% to 5%. I see now I need a much higher concentration. I did find one metallurgical error in that it states that Widmanstatten patterns are unique to meteorites. That's not true.

What's the likelihood of fake meteorites being made that way? Zero. You have to fake at least pallasites for the fraud becoming profitable q.e.d. Would be nice to have a photo of the described products, if they show any similarity to Widmathompsopatures. (Cast irons display dendritic patterns).

While it's true that the Widmanstatten pattern was first seen in meteorites, it is fairly commonly seen in terrestrial metal alloys. Metals are crystals when in solid form, and undergo allotropic phase changes when heated and cooled. Adding different metals together form alloys and these

I agree, Zero. You could make nice Widmanstatten patterns in some stainless steel alloys like 303, the giant crystals I've seen would be virtually impossible and very expensive. The dendrites seen in cast irons are the crystals growing along the crystallographic planes as the metal solidifies.
