[meteorite-list] Chinese Meteorite Fraud on eBay

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi List, I have looked inside (and up close) of  my fair share of meteorites. 
 I don't remember what the seller ID of the  day was, but I bought one.  
Hematite just like I thought.  You could  have a game of hop scotch with the red 
streak it left on the cement.  No  iron!
