Hi all a while back I bought a stone that was supposed to be Nantan on E bay it was actually a pretty good fake. They had added coloring to make it look rusty and a magnet really stuck to it. So I stuck it on the saw thinking it might just be a ball of rust, well as soon as it started cutting it turned the everything a reddish color. When I finished the cut and looked at it, it was stone not iron at all.I would be surprised if it is not hematite. So I contacted the Chinese dealer and told them all of this and after a couple attempts to satisfy me will some discount or a better deal next time. I filed a case with Pay pal and demanded a full refund, and that they stop selling these lumps of rock as meteorites. I do not know if they ever really stopped but I see they are back to their same old tricks again, except this time I know that they know they are committing fraud. Does that make any difference? Is there anything we can do?
