Yes Matt, I understand, but you cant just  make it so simple as well. We all 
know that some Brahin is crap, some is superb,  same with Brenham. Yet I have 
never seen Esquel rust, nor Seymchan, nor  Glorietta. 
This comes from the fact that people have been touting how nice  Fukang is 
(and I agree, it is a beautiful meteorite with superb large crystals)  yet the 
fact that I know some people who bought pieces last year from Kilgore,  that it 
is all rusting.

I have to agree with Matt. I don't believe Fukang is a Horrible Ruster. I  
have had 3 very pretty slices since September and they are fine.
I didn't get mine from Marvin Kilgore but from John Birdsell. Does that  make 
a difference?  I don't know, since I don't know if John prepared these  
slices or if Marvin is the one cutting and preparing all the Fukang. 
John?
