Hi,

Here's an eBay fraud (some of you might already know about it). It is item
#330197565397. The guy says it's a meteorite that was found in Maine but it
looks exactly like a bad quality beryl crystal. Beryl crystals are
prismatic and hexagonal (they have six sides, not including their
termination sides) and Maine is very famous for their beryl mines.

Regards,

Bob
