It is a ruster, several people who bought pieces in Tucson last year have
complained about rust. I will pass on this one. If the Chinese get froggy
and decide to repatriate their stolen treasure, they will come after it.
Lest you all forget, the just conducted raids all over Australia with the
Australian and Chinese government, confiscating stolen fossils from China.
This is the largest pallasite in the world. That is a treasure, not some old
chondrite that nobody cares about. It is being said that the Chinese already
know about it.
On another note, two representatives from the Royal Ontario Museum were sent
to the Tokyo show to look for and report anything being sold that was from
Canada. They harassed several people, including George Heslop, for selling
Canadian fossils without paperwork, they threatened him, and made the show
owner force him to remove them from his table. It is clear that governments
are getting serious about their stuff (with or without cause).

Bob Jackson and I handled the slice at the preview. It was very heavily
coated. On the back side at one edge there was a small area of
discoloration that might have been rust creeping along under the clear
coat. Do we know yet if this is a ruster?

I wonder why it did not sell at Butterfields, where movie stars attend
auctions? If I remember correctly it was estimated to sell at $20 per
gram. I wonder how high the highest bid was, since it did not meet
reserve?

It did not sell. It was poorly prepared and overpriced.

How much did the piece that was in Butterfields auction earlier this
month sell for? I think it was about a Kilogram but I lost the link
that was posted.

this time I must agree with Matteo.
I not see any piece of Fukang in Munich. Some of people I know also
first
time hear about this fact from this list emails. So or this pieces was
"under table material" not for our eyes or we should look for
meteorites
also on non marrocan-tables.
But if there is 900kg and "Tucson will be swamped with it" so why
Munich was
not "swamped with it" ?
So who saw any Fukang in Munich ? Any photos ? How much pieces was
there ?
