I have actually seen this before. Years back someone from Texas was selling
some as a meteorite. I wrote him and asked him if he had it tested, he said
no. It did not sell. He wrote me and asked for my address and actually sent
it to me. With the help of the fine people on this list it was identified as
some kind of iron precipitation that occurs naturally in this lumpy type
form. I forget what everyone said it was but all the replies were unanimous
that is was something common to Texas and it was iron, the oxygen, I am
guessing is due to oxidation of the iron.

As for seeing the Virgin Mary in this lump, I do not think so. What is with
all these images? Did I miss the memo about the second coming or the end of
the world?

What good god fearing people will do to exploit their faith, bilk their own
kind, and make a buck. Hell my dogs make free form fine art sculptures all
over my back yard, perhaps there is one of jesus back there. Do I here
$40.00?

So that "Virgin Mary" meteorite is back on Ebay, and this time the seller
has including a picture of
a card with what appears to be the results of some sort of spectroscopic
analysis of the piece.
Anyone know what kind of 'wrong it is from the card, just for curiosity's
sake? Its showing up
strong for Oxygen and Iron, but I don't see any nickel on the card.
