Someone importing meteorites labeled as pyrite. They look pretty big so I wonder where they actually came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I wonder where the bootleg Chinese meteorites were from? There is obviously a market for them. Else they would have been headed another direction. It's pretty funny. We get pyrite that people think is a meteorite. In China they are shipping meteorites as pyrite. Shoulda labeled them "hematite concretions". What a hoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
