Yes it DOES look like a fresh Shikote Alin. I know, because I have a few specimens that were collected in 1947. They were NOT cleaned and have beautiful fusion crust with some minor rust spots for the short time that they were in the soil.

This is either a meteorite or a meteorwrong. And from the picture I would say that it is a meteorite. It is magnetic as Mark claims. For it's size it is the right weight, and it apparently has what looks like "thumbprints" which would be typical for iron meteorites of this size. And I have never in the many years that I have recieved samples seen "slag" that looks like this. The only other option that I can think of is this is a "cast" of a meteorite made with powdered magnetite or something of that order. And if it is a cast then "someone" made it. This thing needs to be looked at by an expert that knows meteorite metals. And the only way to do that is to get a sample. All I can say about it now is that if someone buys it, have a rock bottom gurantee that if it is not, they can send it back. If it is, what a treasure.

[meteorite-list] Campo del Cielo auction - The Argentinian answer
Hello this is the answer to the campo del cielo sold on auction Subastaron dos meteoritos descubiertos en Argentina Uno se vendió por más de US$ 90 mil y pesa 161 kilogramos. Fueron encontrados en Campo del Cielo, Chaco, una zona característica por los impactos de objetos celestes. ESCULTURA. El meteorito subastado en 93 mil dólares. (AP) ESCULTURA. El meteorito subastado en 93 mil dólares. (AP) Un meteorito de 161 kilogramos hallado en Argentina fue vendido en US$ 91.3765 en una subasta organizada por la firma Bonhams, en su sede de New York. El aerolito descubierto en el Chaco, en el paraje Campo del Cielo, proviene del cinturón de asteroides ubicado entre Marte y Júpiter, y cayó en la tierra hace "miles" de años, según los expertos. En la subasta también se vendió, en US$ 1.195, un meteorito esférico de hierro descubierto en 1576 en el mismo lugar, casi cuatro mil años después de haber colisionado con la tierra, según consta en la documentación hecha por exploradores españoles. La venta, que también ofreció un meteorito de Chile, un fòsil de México y un raro pedazo de Luna, cautivó tanto a amantes de la ciencia como de las bellas artes, principalmente coleccionistas privados, decoradores y diseñadores de interiores. "Los meteoritos se aprecian cada vez más por su belleza, y es por eso que sus precios están subiendo al nivel de los objetos de arte", dijo a EFE Thomas Lindgren, director del departamento de Historia Natural de Bonhams. Para el experto, se trata de un tipo arte que no ha sido moldeado por la mano del hombre, sino por la naturaleza y energía espaciales. "Muy poca gente tiene el lujo de tener en casa una escultura del espacio exterior. Los meteoritos son preciados porque son raros, no abundan. Si reunimos todos los meteoritos que existen, representarían menos de un año de producción de oro", señaló. Los meteoritos subastados en Bonhams provenían de la Colección Macovich, la más grande de meteoritos de hierro estéticos en todo el mundo, y que suele hacer préstamos a instituciones como el Smithsonian y el Museo de Historia Natural de Nieva York. Su propietario, el periodista y aventurero Darryl Pitt, la amasó poco a poco, comprando en exposiciones especializadas en historia natural y a otros coleccionistas privados en Estados Unidos y Europa.
