Dear Friends,

When I came across the below so-called / alleged
"meteorites" from Peru in a sponsored link on Ebay,
I did know whether to laugh or cry.

1. Meteorite Set

"Hard to find natural Meteorite from Peru."

2. Meteorite Apu 7 Puntas Chumpi

"This Number Seven Chumpi Stone is carved from
what the people of Peru call meteorite. It is
physically very heavy and energetically alive!
Peru"

http://www.shamansmarket.com/-strse-958/meteorite-puntas-chumpi/Detail.bok#more

It is just amazing what bric and brac people are
selling as "meteorites". It is even more amazing
that there are people out, who buy this stuff.
I can understand someone buying a piece of
Shirokovsky, thinking it is a meteorite. But
this stuff?

Yours,

Paul
