Hello Darren, Pete, J?rn and List,

"... my opinion this is a fraud. This sphere rather looks like some terrestrial ore."


My guess is that what the seller is offering is a (partially corroded) Nantan
(IIICD). "partially corroded" ... this would explain the lower than expected
density of the item offered. We all know what the ultimate fate of most Nantans
is, so the "big eye" or the interior of the sphere might be a corrosion product.

Any further comments?

Best regards,

Bernd
