Mr-Meteorite Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Hi all, Look out for meteorite scams in Tucson!! This is merely a large chunk of iron with dark greenish glass embedded inside. This "meteorite" is about 18 inches long and very heavy. It is not a pallasite!! When I asked the owner what it was, he nonchalantly said, "it's a meteorite." After I assured him that it definitely was not a meteorite he admitted that he knew it wasn't, but that he had bought it that way and was trying to sell it as one. Here it is.. http://www.mr-meteorite.com/pallasitescamintucson.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfinger Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 What's new? Phoney pallisites. Fake tekites. Phoney Nantans. I'm sure there's many more out there at the Tucson shows. It helps if you know your dealer but even they may have been scammed themselves. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
