Re: [meteorite-list] ALERT - eBay Scam - ALERT
Aras, Glad you caught this in time and thank you for the heads up! Mendy -Original Message- From: Meteorite-list [mailto:meteorite-list-boun...@meteoritecentral.com] On Behalf Of Aras Jonikas via Meteorite-list Sent: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 6:09 PM To: Meteorite List Subject: [meteorite-list] ALERT - eBay Scam - ALERT All- I just had a strange occurrence on eBay which became likely fraud. I was notified that I had sold a meteorite slice which I had listed from eBay (normal eBay notification). This buyer has never bought from me, so I confirmed the info via a quick internet search (she worked for an aerospace firm, so thought nothing of it). After printing the label, the buyer contacted me several minutes later stating she did not order anything but received a shipment notification from eBay. After confirming who she was and looking at her history (never a meteorite purchased in her history on eBay), I looked at the paypal receipt. It became clear that she was hacked on eBay and Paypal, and her email was changed from gmail.com to gmail.net. All of her other information was correct. I did not initially notice this discrepancy. I could only assume that the package would have been rerouted in transit to the "hacker". The victim (phewww, not me...) stated she immediately tried changing her passwords once th is was discovered but was blocked from doing so, likely due to her information being changed. Keep a close eye on your sales both ON AND OFF eBay!!!

Hi Dennis, if you are looking for Portales Valley and you want to contact me off list I know someone who has some of the most beautiful slices. I can put you in touch with him.

However, there are 4 "Portales meteorites; Portales(a), Portales(b), Portales(c), and Portales Valley. Price on Portales Valley depends on whether it is all stone or shows metallic veining. Not real common to find full slices now, but Meteorite Market has some part slices for sale at about $40/gram.

Re: [meteorite-list] interstellar meteorite anyone?
Other possible Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud objects: Khatyrka meteorite - https://www.mindat.org/loc-2717.html - Has undergone an enormous amount of study because of the presence of quasicrystals in it (the first known from a natural source). All known fragments are in the hands of researchers; none for sale, as far as I know. But f anyone wants to fund a sluicing expedition to a remote Siberian creek, there's a good chance of finding more ;)) Hypatia meteorite - https://www.mindat.org/loc-299029.html - recent find in Egypt. Contains native aluminium and a crazy amount of diamond.
