I like Shawn's idea of some kind of coordinated effort to contact all the victims of steelhorse1994's scam. This can be done by going to the flake's ebay feedback list where the buyer username and what they bought is clearly indicated. I believe Ebay has an anti-spam trigger that limits multiple

Re: [meteorite-list] Ebay victims of fake moon and mars meteorite scam

Hi Daniel and List, I really feel bad for the buyers of these bogus planetaries. Things like this damage the integrity of the entire market. In the distant past, I used to contact sellers and buyers of questionable specimens, but I stopped doing it long ago. First, I hate being the bearer of

Hi Mike and list, As steelhorse1994 spaceterrain4sale, he used Lunar NWA 4881, Lunar NWA 4734 Martian NWA 4925. They were always packaged with the NWA lettered on the front and American Meteorite Collectors Society called out on the flip side. He used what I would call commonly seen moon or

Re: [meteorite-list] Ebay victims of fake moon and mars meteorite scam

Far from an expert here and a very small fry as a collector but two things: 1. The few times I bought meteorites were from established, honest dealers (bought one from Mike Farmer for instance). It never ceases to amaze me how gullible people can be, not that it excuses the scammers. 2. Since

Hi all, ALL THESE are CRUSTED Sutter's Mill fragments! Most of these specimens came from meteorites that I purchased in Coloma, California. They were then broken so that ASU (or other University) could peer into the interior of the stone - without pesky fusion crust in the way. The result is

Re: [meteorite-list] Fake moon and mars meteorite NWA's

Hi Rob, Thanks for your note. One of the problems with the steelhorse1994 fakes is the guy was for the most part targeting lower end gift shoppers by pricing auctions at a penny to start and ending up selling 25mg rocks in a nice display for an average of $17. When I did the statistics on

Whoever he is, he's not poor. Put that address into Google Earth and check out the result. He lives in an upscale housing development in a huge house with an enclosed pool and a roof full of solar panels. Maybe he bought it from his fraudulent proceeds? ;) --

Re: [meteorite-list] Our Night Sky in the Future (Kinda OT)

These are simulations of how the night sky will appear _photographically_, not visually. Andromeda is about the same brightness as the Milky Way, and it won't get any brighter just because it's closer. The night sky will look like it has two Milky Way bands, which intersect. We'll see a sort

Re: [meteorite-list] Our Night Sky in the Future (Kinda OT)

Hi Chris and List, Great points. Never thought of that. By then, the oceans will have boiled off and instead of big bodies of water, we'll have endless deserts of salt dunes. It won't be an Earth I'd want to live on. Hopefully by then we'll have self-sustaining colonies on other worlds. Best
