I once new a guy who said he could make a meteorite-IRON - to be specific, 
he did'nt know about the (Widmanstten Pattern) test though. So I let him try 
and then I surprised him with the (WIDMANSTATTEN PATTERN)test with Nitric 
Acid. This person needs to be  penalized for making the list look like the 
guy who fabricated the Iron, as I mentioned. The word is -SEND IT TO ARIZONA 
UNIVERSITY'S PROFSSOR SWINDLE(really is his name) and DR. KRING , both 
highly eduated in meteorite-sujects and they would certainly welcome the 
opportunity to test what could be a fantastic ONE-OF-A-KIND Specimen - which 
is highly unlikely. Where did he test this thing? There's no way! Are there 
any flow lines- you would think gold flow lines would be preserved forever, 
unless water worn-out. NO #$%#@&ing way! Sad is right.

Hello all,

    It's too bad that I had to log into my email this morning and see the 
gold meteorite. I can't believe someone would have the audacity to sell 
such garbage. It reminds me of micromike and his "frass meteorite" in a 
way. I agree that we as a collecting community took a blow with this one, 
and I tend to agree that action of "some" sort should be taken, as we 
honest people shouldn't have to be subjected to a setback like this. And 
too the guy who's selling the gold meteorite, with all due respect, talk is 
cheap, and getting overly defensive won't help your cause. Give us NAMES of 
the researchers who classified it AND SEM/XRD analyses, please. Oh, and 
gemologists study gemstones and the art of cutting them, not meteorites. 
I'm not trying to be rude and I really wish gold could fall from the sky, 
but I'll believe it when I hear that Andrea Patzer, Alan Rubin et al. said 
likewise.
