Come on guys, how could you not tell if this is a meteorite? I can tell from
the photos it looks just like most Park Forest stones.
Of course after buying and selling and finding thousands of different
meteorites I guess a lot of practice comes into play.

Of course it is. Sadly the damage is done. I am in Germany and all I am seeing

I work at an astronomical research institute and I know that most astronomers
here could not find and identify extended objects or stars in the night sky
with their unaided eyes. Of course, they can differentiate their spectra and

Michael,
A lot of times scientists used to working in labs with thin slices can't
tell an ordinary chondrite from a hole in the ground. They often specialize
in a narrow academic field and have no experience handling all different
types of meteorites. It's hard to beat years of hands on
Hi Mike, Mike, and List,
It is somewhat comical, but even the best of us can be fooled from
time to time. There are some very convincing meteorwrongs in
circulation, and we've had some recent high-profile falls that have
increased the likelihood of fakes/scams, so an extra measure of
caution is

Hello All,
Texture's completely off. Newly found Holbrooks can be weathered. but
always show a discrete layer of fusion crust that has not been
mechanically altered much since 1912. Surface rust, yes. Places
where it has chipped off, yes. Contraction cracks...usually.
But, little abrasion --
The meteorite hunter worth his salt would use ALL his tools he has
available to him because some of us dont have the best EYES as we get

Quite some time ago somebody made a comment that their company made

Would somebody know who that company is? Possibly I could visit

I agree with Jason, it doesn't look quite right.
It's always hard to tell from photos, but if it looked this way in person,
I would not have guessed Holbook. If someone cleans/shines them up, it can
really change the look of them.
