I wrote the seller and stuck my neck out a little. I offered to put him/her in touch with some experts if they disagree with me. I hope a few of you will not mind should this person take me up on that offer.
Cheers, Mike Tettenborn Here is what I wrote: With all do respect, this is not a meteorite as you are implying. This auction is leading people to believe that it is a meteorite and I consider this fraudulent. This is obviously a very common amethyst crystal. If you believe I am wrong then please email me and I will gladly put you in touch with two or three of the most noted meteoriticists in the United States and you can ask for their opinion. Please remove this auction from ebay or at least reword it so that others are not mislead.
