Hi, Folks,<br>
<br>
in my opinion it look very much like a highly weathered<b> fragment of a
pyrite nodule</b> with the sulfur having destroyed the center.<br>
Found nodules and fragments like them rockhounding in the old days.<br>

  <pre wrap="">Hello everybody !
I need your advice on this eBay auction.
It's sold as a french meteorite with the label "France Via C. Foster 1962". It weighs 180g. In my opinion, it's not a meteorite 
(looks like a volcano stone). Can you give me your advice, it would be fair.
Here are the links for the pictures :
