Hola,
This fellow's been selling complete crap for the past year or so.
Terrestrial slag as a new "plessitic octahedrite," Campo del Cielo's
as Canyon Diablo's (a difference of $200-250/kg in value), and bits of
terrestrial metamorphic/igneous crap (see the link) as lunar material.
 He's repeatedly shrugged off demands for real classifications, never
mind his blatant selling of false and renamed material.
There are people who make honest mistakes and there are cheaters.
This one's about as sleazy as they get.
Regards,
Jason
