I collect minerals as well as meteorites, and yeah, that's a massive, obviously not gem quality beryl crystal both of which are found in Maine. It looks to be terminated and does have nice hexagonal crystalization, but it's not a meteorite. Worse part is, he has two bids on it. To add further insult to injury is the $14.00 shipping.
