John, I certainly do not recognize it and have already provided my thoughts, but can you provide any details? When was it sold, where, was it part of a lot or an individual, is this a stone from Morocco or an US find? Added info might trigger people to remember ...

I don't want to prove you wrong. I never asked for your opinion if this was a meteorite. It hasn't been studied yet, and it's not up to you or me to decide in this scenario whether or not it will be studied.

End of conversation...

Have a good night.
