Steve,
Absolutely! - know the source, but also - trust the source.
Personally I always advise 'Newbie's' to make sure a seller is a member
of the 'IMCA' (since it's about the only safeguard most newcomers have,
without knowing the market place very well).
... but it is amazing how many good
So much for those $20.00 nickel tests sold on
ebay that the finder used.
The finder is ALSO the ebay SELLER of those nickel tests kits!
Thank you very much for this valuable info.
Best,

Dear List Members,
After a long afternoon and evening at the

Know the source, know the source, know the source...
And when in doubt...
Get specimens only from reputable dealers, who can
back up their claims with adequate testing.
This message must be presented to a gullible public
as, or if, they become interested in collecting
meteorites.
Dear List Members,
After a long afternoon and evening at the University of Washington the
results are in. It should come as no surprise that the Chixulub material
turned out to be a terrestrial. It was found to be Geothite and Hematite in
combination with no nickel. So much for those $20.00
