[meteorite-list] Turkey Meteorite? Marble with coat? 11AUG2013

[Michael Farmer]

since we all know meteorites don't start fires,and this thing does not even closely resemble a meteorite, can we all  perhaps agree that this is not a meteorite?
If anyone thinks this thing is a meteorite, I have a lot of "meteorites" to offer very very cheap.
