[meteorite-list] more on fake lunar rocks on etsy

ist should report these listings. Although, if Etsy is anything like eBay, they won't care. They're probably happy to make the fees on the sales. On 5/24/21, Daniel Noyes via Meteorite-list wrote: > I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find this, but it is so blatant I > felt I should post i

Hello All, If that's a moon rock, or any meteorite derived fragment for that matter, I'm Mickey Mouse...lol! Maybe it is a mineral ore from the Nostromo payload that Ripley salvaged before she blew it and that fraker alien to kingdom come...lol, lol! Anyone can write whatever on the net and it

[meteorite-list] Blatant Ebay fraud

Hello All, If one bad apple is selling fake meteorite items, it is a bad reflection on all of us. There is a seller on ebay basically following in steelhorse1994's steps, as noted last week we still see his stuff show up as resale on ebay, (BTW, that particular single listing has been removed).

[meteorite-list] Fake Mars displays (again)

Hello All, Once again we have a resale on ebay of those "steelhorse1994" fake displays dating back to 2013. This time it's for 2 "Mars NWA 4425". Notice the imaginary "American Meteorite Collector's Society" on the reverse side. Even though they are way, way overpriced and he will never sell

[meteorite-list] Meteorites used for iron tools in the Bronze Age

Hello All, A segue on iron in meteorites...a new study of Bronze Age tools and ornaments confirms the use of iron from meteorites, including King Tut's dagger. Almost all tools were bronze then, but in some rare cases iron-based artifacts have been discovered dating back to the Bronze Age. At the

Re: [meteorite-list] Christies meteorite Auction

Hello All, Yes, Adam. What a shame...sloppy work. Pride has given way to cheap and made to be broken. You can still find good craftsmanship but you have to look harder, or do it yourself, lol. I can see a lot of potential in this piece. A little extra effort would make it look very nice indeed

Re: [meteorite-list] Morocco's stone rush: Hunting meteorites is big business for nomads (Tommy)

Hello all, History past and present has taught us there is no end to the greed and folly of humans that has impoverished the many for the sake of the few. Meteorites are not of this Earth and should not be deemed sovereign property. If the Moroccan government wants specimens for its museums, they

Re: [meteorite-list] NWA 5000 Limited Edition - World's Largest Lunar[meteorite] Replica

As an artist myself, I find the curator's suggestion about what constitutes artistic originals troubling. If an artist creates, or manipulates an object in such a way that is not an identical print or reproduction and said object has an identifying element, however so slight, that makes it

Hi All, Do wonders never cease. The blue hue is interesting, but if it is a lunar, then I'm Mickey Mouse! Maybe it is another one of those Magic Moon rocks, but in this case it turns blue when you flash it with a camera. Speaking of which...P. T. Barnum was right and with the holiday season

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Hi Graham, Peter and All, I would agree that art can be a means to challenge existing concepts and perceptions. I think the rub in this instance is the recasting of the meteorite, nature's art, into its own image; a human generated meteorite clone so to speak. To re-create it into something more

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture Will Be International Space Station First Artwork

Hi All, I'm an artist myself, but I'm wondering what exactly is the point of melting down part of a meteorite and then recasting it as an exact copy of itself, indistinguishable from the original. The original meteorite is already a cosmic work of art, a rock transformed when it journeyed through
