Hi Ron, Yes, it's terminated on at least one end, but I still wouldn't pay a dime for it. (I'm a mineral collector also.) I just sent an e-mail to eBay's customer support. It probably won't help, but can't hurt.

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.
