She is claiming a piece of granite is a meteorite. What do we do when that happens on ebay? Is it somehow less of a con when it's done to children? If the rest of us encourage it, or even allow it to continue unchallenged, well, then the children REALLY will << feel tricked >>, and with good reason. The thing of it is, it's just so very simple to fix. How about if the meteorite community gives her a REAL specimen so she could continue her sessions with children unchanged, but with a REAL meteorite. If she refuses THAT, is she still "not conning anyone"?
