Akaganeite



I e-mailed the eBay member that posted this auction and got this response. 
Dont look like he is trying to misslead anybody so he seems legit. I wonder 
if somebody could tell me more about this mineral though. I have 25 kilos of 
nantan coming shortly and wonder if I also have any rare minerals with it. 
Does rare also mean valuable? After all, since I am getting 25 kilos of 
nantan soon I might have some for sale soon. More seriously though is there 
something that I can do to prevent it from destroying Nantans?
Cheers
