This guy has been listing fake Lunars on Etsy for a long time, maybe two years now, and I doubt Etsy cares- as long as they get their piece of the sale.
Speaking of his sales, his Etsy page indicates that 8 of these "Lunars" have been sold. It is sad that perhaps up to 8 people have been fooled. -----Original Message----- From: Meteorite-list <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Galactic Stone & Ironworks via Meteorite-list Sent: Monday, May 24, 2021 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Meteorite List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Fake lunars Link was broken, but maybe it was removed. Here is a link to the seller's store. It's full of river rocks and what looks like a handful of misrepresented ordinary chondrites - https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/NEWMOONMETEORITES?ref=l2-about-shopname Thanks for pointing this out Daniel. Etsy members on this list should report these listings. Although, if Etsy is anything like eBay, they won't care. They're probably happy to make the fees on the sales.
