Dear List, There are two other meteorite-related catagories of popular and very expensive fakes being sold in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Japan; and on Ebay.
1: Sky metal objects (tailsman) that are said to be made of meteorite and coming from Tibet and Nepal...they are copies made of a bronze/iron alloy and are magnetic (I know the maker behind the scheme). 2: dZi beads that are dyed and heat-treated agate beads with intricate eye designs also said to have come from Tibet and Nepal...there are various grades of fakes selling from $50-$200,000 up (several of the `real` dzi beads sold for over one million dollars in the late 1980s and early 90s). These are being made in Taiwan, China and India. (I also know the scammer behind the scene in Taiwan as he asked me how they were made and I told him the process not knowing what he was up to.) Buyers be forewarned! If you require more information just ask. Best Always in LIFE, Dirk Ross...Tokyo __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
