Hi Michael and list,
 
Not all of the Mifflin photo's on the Met. Bulletin (IMCA Encyclopedia of
Meteorites) are of the real thing. I have three photos there. One is a
slice from Joe's main mass, another is a complete individual that I found
during my five day hunt and the fake is the slice that I purchased from
Greg
Catterton. I contacted Greg C this morning to get my refund and have not
received a response. I'll remove the photo later. If you have one that
looks
like this, you've been duped.
 
Best Wishes,
Jim K

Hello,

Since Jason posted his discovery, 2 more pieces of "fake" Mifflin have
been recovered. Taking into account cut loss, I think I am almost certain that
I have recovered 95% of the stone that I was duped into buying. I will
not be 100% certain until all of the pieces are returned to me. Even though,
I have not been 100% refunded for my purchase, I feel it is important to
refund people's money immediately or as fast as possible and to get this
fake crap off the market and into the trash can... or maybe into a lawyer's
hand!

PLEASE NOTE: If you have any doubt about a Mifflin specimen you obtained
from me ...PLEASE send me a photo so I can confirm one way or the other.
Especially ,if it does not look like anything in the Met Bulletin below. Even
if you did not get it from me, but just want a second opinion... send me
the photo.

Here is also a link to photos of Real Mifflin. Everything posted in the
Meteoritical Bulletin entry is indeed REAL Mifflin.
