Dear Meteorite list,
First of all I would like to thank the three people who very kindly sent me
advice about E-Bay and possible fake emails.
I now have another problem, which perhaps someone could give me advice
about:
I recently bought a Sikhote Aline Meteorite with quote- '' typicl fresh
blue-black fusion crust ''
However the so-called blue-black fusion crust rubs off with only a finger
nail pressure revealing shiny metal underneath !!!
Could someone tell me if this is a common and normal accurance ?
The seller from Florida issued me with a very nice 'Certificate of
Authenticity', and the meteorite was not cheap !
With best wishes,
Moray
