I am confused. A somewhat normal state for me.
Adam,
From your post it sounds as if this is man made.
If so, I missed that part.
Is Shirokovsky man made?
Best to all,

I can't believe anybody would reward these fraudsters by purchasing this
fake garbage. A lot of collectors lost thousands of dollars on this
material that probable cost 40 cents a kilogram to produce.

Oh Adam,
Did You never lost money on fake meteorite, dishonest seller or lunar that
become a earth rock ? Did You never buy Putorano only becouse it looks
fantastic ? I know many persons was dissapointed, but this not change fact
that this material is nice, strange and mysterious and its part of
meteorite history. Anyone who buy it know, its a fake. Their choice.
I love my 1mm thin transparent slice of Shiro same as my 2mm Brahin or
Seymchan.
And in the name of "science" :), even if its very late here, I etched one
of my endpieces. 30/70% Nitric Acid in alcohol.
For You Michael :)
