Any chips that are deep enough to show matrix should be listed, at best, as 99%, and drop in value from there. Like so many other terms in the business of meteorites ( e.g. fusion crust, oriented ) the claim of 100% crusted if often misused.
Best, John Hi John and list, There has been a trend to call everything crusted on eBay. Search meteorite and crusted in eBay and you will have some fun looking at stones that are hardly dark color fragments let alone crusted at all (even a spot). All the descriptive terms of meteorites are being diluted to the point of becoming meaningless on the one of the largest sales platforms of meteorites.
