Greetings,
There is a way to tell a bediasite from indochinites other than
physical looks. If anyone wants the tip, email me off list.

Helo Brian, All,
Yep, it's John Bryan Scarborough.
And those aren't the only catch of the day -- I can see only the top
and right edges of this slice, but they're desert-varnished. No
fusion crust.

I'd guess NWA.
It's a shame, but this material will probably resurface later from
credible sources. Folks don't seem to be learning.
Regards,
Jason

Subject: [meteorite-list] Questionable Bediasites on ebay
To: [email protected]
Greetings list,
I have noted a couple of recent ebay listings for Bediasite that
appear fraudulent. They look like Indochinites. I contacted the
seller, "lonestar*meteorites", to ask for more images of his Bediasite
inventory during the first listing. This query was met with anger.
Now a second listing has appeared and this stone also has surface
morphology consistant with Indochinites and inconsistant with
Bediasites. I would not feel comfortable making purchases from this
seller.
Happy hunting,
Brian
