Hello Mike G & Listers I would think if your able to make an etch, that part would be iron, but again, its in cased in shale. I guess it would be both and whoever is buying or selling would have to disclose that and the buyer would have to pay accordingly to what is the market price for shale/ir

Hi Folks, I have seen shale or oxide fragments that had unoxidized metal inside them when cut. From the outside, the pieces resembled shale, but the interior was unoxidized iron or it had a "core" area with shiny metal in it. So, given such a specimen, is it still considered "shale" or "oxide" i

Very interesting Don, and thank you for posting this response from Zsolt. I will have to disagree with him on one thing, he wrote: "When I have bought this piece from Anne Black she didnt mentioned me that it is shale." That is not correct, it is clearly listed as "Shale" on my website, on

If those pieces were cut out of the 64g piece of Hoba I sold to Zsolt very recently, then yes, it is shale. And Michael, it seems that very few people on either side of the Atlantic are even aware that there is a difference in numeral notation. Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com impact...@aol.c
