Dear List,
Rainbow Pyrite Drusy Freeform Cabochons, general pyrite chemical
formula: FeS2- making it magnetic, and lead would stick. Often used in
jewlery (pendant?) making. Go to :

Look familiar!? Good example of what Rainbow pyrrite looks like. Also
bears striking similiarity to Galaxy Meteorites.Okay, I'm done. Thanks
for your patience. Have a great Thanksgiving! Best Regards, Marcie

Dear Adam, and List,
I am not a geologist, but I have seen samples of rainbow pyrite. Looking
at the close-ups of some of the Galaxy Meteorites, thats what it looks
like is crumbs or cross-cuts of rainbow pyrite, which is light in
weight, with darker metal mix. But he mentions the weight of his, as
being heavy.
On each and everyone of his remaining items for sale, in the "Sellers
payment instructions & return policy",in capital letters....he told on
himself as far as I'm concerned. SHOULD'NT BE HANDLED BY CHILDREN UNDER
AGE OF SEVEN!!!
He is evidentally ,not completely without a concience.
In Wisconsin, the given rule for any kind of federal or state grant
money for housing, is that families with children 6 Years old and under
have to have homes tested for LEAD in the painted surfaces, as they are
most susceptible to fatal lead-poisoning, not so with adults.
As everyone knows, lead is very soft metal, easily meltable, and very
HEAVY in weight.
Anyone having one of these WOW Meteorites, should have it checked for
lead, and thats how we close him down, if I'm right. Even though he
warns about kids under 7, he is still selling a product that could
potentially kill or make a small child who handles, or God forbid, puts
it in it's mouth at high risk! Knowingly using lead in this manner would
probably be a criminal offence. Don't think E-bay wants a piece of that
action!!!
Anyone on list with access to a piece of his merchandise, please have it
checked for lead content!!!!!!! Better safe than sorry here. Once this
is done , he can be closed down, if I'm right, and I really think I am.
Then let us know on-list? Best Regards, Marcie

It looks like man made meteorites are all the rage on eBay these days, this
nut has over a dozen listed with a few that even have bids on them. The one
with the link below is the most angry looking Galaxy meteorite I have yet
seen! It reminds me of that amoeboid creature with the spinning eyeball on
the movie "Forbidden Planet".
This is the most angry looking one yet, kind of reminds me of the
psychedelic 60s.

I have a feeling that the next type we see will be edible as some of these
look like they were made from cake frosting.
All the best,
Adam bored in damp Seattle
