Thanks for the pictures of this mysterious material, I had somehow
forgotten about the etched slices. Look at the last picture, which is a
close-up, and take a close look at the top left piece of this white
material. It is a consistent thickness along it's length and appears to be
a cross section of a piece of sheet metal. Like most of you, I'd sure like
to know how this stuff was made. With the price of a new pallasite
starting at around $25.00/gram, someone with the right equipment and proper
knowledge could get quite motivated to produce a convincing counterfeit.

Best,
