Subject: [meteorite-list] Duck Chondrule
The 5-billionaires group are a bunch con artists and idiots.
Look at their latest "Duck Chondrule" offering, this is definitely one for
the books:

I don't think they have ever sold a real meteorite. They know they are
selling garbage and are trying to rip-off the public. Just look how hard
they try to convince their audience that these are real meteorites. They
run a magnet with a sticky substance on it all over a supposed Nantan in
one auction. If this were a real iron meteorite, the magnet would jump
out of there hands. In another auction, they zoom in on light colored
objects claiming they are chondrules.
This reminds me of the Shirokovsky pallasite webpage images complete with
divers and a poor story where every stone weighed exactly 50 kilograms,
the size of a crucible. I remember you could not make out any the faces of
the hunters on this web presence, I wonder why? This new group is brash
enough to think that meteorite collectors are stupid enough to jump all
over a $28,000.00 Earth rock. Billionaires, give me a break, they should
call themselves penny-aires because that is what a lot of their items are
selling for except for one unsuspecting person who paid several hundred
for a fake meteorite.
I would love to run into this group in Tucson. I would buy them a round of
Denver Death Cookies and extract a confession from them. By the way, I owe
some Margaritas on a lost wager that I will make good on at the next show.
Take Care,
Adam
