Today nearly all moissanites (silicon-carbide) on the market are man made,
and older diamond-testers can´t find the difference between diamond and
moissanite (had to buy another tester, and it wasn´t cheap). So I´m not a
very big fan of moissanite ;-)
Natural moissanite is very rare, and it´s

My take on the results is that the auction was very well bid with many
items selling for fair to high prices. I bid on one lot at more than
twice the high estimate, and did not get it.

I bid on several, only to lose the 5 of the items by 100 pounds. Frustrating.

I received a new meteorite directly from a Moroccan dealer last week, that
looks remarkably fresh.
The dealer told me the 314g stone was broken in (three) fragments by the
nomad who found it. Also the name of the town of find was provided.
My first thought was that it would be

That is a very nice and fresh stone. I would say it does not represent any

request the classifying scientist to have the terrestrial age dating
