That does not even look like La Criolla.
Compare with this picture in the Encyclopedia of Meteorites:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/get_original_photo.php?recno=5630390
That is why the Encyclopedia was created in the first place! so people
could compare pictures on Ebay or elsewhere with pictures of the real
stuff.

Helo Brian, All,
Yep, it's John Bryan Scarborough.
And those aren't the only catch of the day -- I can see only the top
and right edges of this slice, but they're desert-varnished. No
fusion crust.

I'd guess NWA.
It's a shame, but this material will probably resurface later from
credible sources. Folks don't seem to be learning.
Regards,
Jason

Greetings list,
I have noted a couple of recent ebay listings for Bediasite that
appear fraudulent. They look like Indochinites. I contacted the
seller, "lonestar*meteorites", to ask for more images of his Bediasite
inventory during the first listing. This query was met with anger.
Now a second listing has appeared and this stone also has surface
morphology consistant with Indochinites and inconsistant with
Bediasites. I would not feel comfortable making purchases from this
seller.
Happy hunting,
Brian
