And the other possibility for meteorites coming from a large general
"rock shop" like Kidcentavos source is that the labels got switched
either by a disreputable but knowledgeable buyer taking advantage of a
unknowledgeable minimum wage clerk or just in packing and unpacking for
many mineral shows which this shop does.
