If I'm going to have a few meteorwrongs for comparison in my collection, at least it's attractive, moreso than foundry slag, etc. AS long as it's not marketed as a meteorite, but as a mineral curiosity, I agree with Marcin; no harm, no foul. It's also cheaper than the notorious "Emerald" or Frass meteorite :-) Tracy Latimer >From: "Meteoryt.net" <marcin_at_meteoryt.net> >Reply-To: "Meteoryt.net" <marcin_at_meteoryt.net> >To: <Meteorite-list_at_meteoritecentral.com> >Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Quick hello and thoughts on Shirokovsky >Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 12:16:33 +0200 > > > These circumstances lead me to believe there is a lot more to the story. > > Maybe I am too suspicious but this one just doesn't feel right to me. > > > >Yes, You have right, but from the other side we can buy verry nice slices >of >material similar to oryginal pallasites. >Nice, I mean: big slices, not rusting, thin to 2-3 mm, with min. 50% >transparent olivines.
