Hi List,

Experienced collectors can tell at first glance that this is NOT a
meteorite. But, for the newbies on the List, here is a warning - this
"meteorite" is junk.

Link - http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-41-kg-45-lbs-Unclassified-Meteorite-stony-Carbonaceous-/201074616603?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed0fb291b

I would report it to eBay, but that is a complete waste of time that
would be better spent watching paint dry.

I would contact the seller and inform him/her that their "meteorite"
is an Earth rock, but that time would be better spent watching my
fingernails grow.

Given the detailed description, this seller is obviously full of
excrement and is trying to scam people - this is not an misinformed
seller, this is a thief. Remember this seller for later.

Buyer beware.

Best regards,

MikeG
