I see the ebay scammers are out in full. Here is some of the latest B.S.

#1
This natural specimen composed of a kind of meteorite whose name is
siderolite. Really a god given gift.
It appears to be metallic iron composition, with some yellow and white
inclusions apparently rich in.
It is a term that refers to a stony-iron. It has been discredited as the
real original is unknown. Most meteorites burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.
Of those that make it to Earth, only about 1% are siderolites.

I wonder how many people have been burned by these fellows, especially the
#1 ,the Siderolite idiot who has sold more than a few!

Take Care,
