[meteorite-list] RE: Dhofar 025 Real or Phony

[Impactika at aol.com]

Hello Jerry, Norbert, and all,
 
The Dhofar 025 Jerry bought from me came from one of the 2 collections I  
have in consignment. 
I contacted the owner of that collection who says that he bought it on  Ebay, 
he does not remember the name of the seller, but it was not  
"floridacoaster", that he is sure of.  
And he immediately offered to refund it if Jerry so desires. 
 
Let me know.

Hi Norbert and all,
My 0.334g sample of Dhofar  025, which I acquired through Impactika, does
show a minimum attraction to a  strong magnet BUT enough to be considered
responsive[can be picked  up].

Hi  Don, Martin, and All,

I've seen close-up pictures of fragments of the  alledged "Dho 025" sold on
eBay by "floridacoaster", and they actually don't  look like the real McCoy
but more like a vesicular terrestrial basalt.  However, pictures are not too
good to judge from, and I would actually be  interested in comparing a sample
of "floridacoaster's" alledged lunar with a  real piece of Dhofar 025. Your
choice - contact me off-list for more  information. As Martin said, you can
also bring your sample to the Munich  show in late October where I can have a
close look at it (BTW, the finder of  Dhofar 025 will also be there to have a
look).
