Bizzarro_III Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Recently i've bought this piece of ''meteorite''. Can you tell if this is an authentic Campo? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Where or who did you buy it from? I've seen some pretty convoluted specimens of Campo so would say it's most likely Campo but it depends on the provenance to be 100 percent sure.

Bizzarro_III Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 I bought it from this vendor https://www.etsy.com/it/listing/838863109/meteorites-naturelles-certifiees?ref=shop_home_recs_7&crt=1 The first lotto has been sold in a few days... The vendor has send me a certificate signed by himself and he assured me that these meteorites are well certified. But i'm not an expert so i thought to asking someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I don't speak French but I think you can reasonably be assured the meteorite you purchased is authentic. The photos on Etsy look exactly like Campos. Good reviews as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestang Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I think this is one of those "Campo crystals", where a larger Campo is frozen with liquid nitrogen, and then shattered and cleaned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of that. Tumbled as well I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
