Yes Matt, I understand, but you cant just make it so simple as well. We all
know that some Brahin is crap, some is superb, same with Brenham. Yet I have
never seen Esquel rust, nor Seymchan, nor Glorietta.
This comes from the fact that people have been touting how nice Fukang is
(and I agree, it is a beautiful meteorite with superb large crystals) yet the
fact that I know some people who bought pieces last year from Kilgore, that it
is all rusting.

I have to agree with Matt. I don't believe Fukang is a Horrible Ruster. I
have had 3 very pretty slices since September and they are fine.
I didn't get mine from Marvin Kilgore but from John Birdsell. Does that make
a difference? I don't know, since I don't know if John prepared these
slices or if Marvin is the one cutting and preparing all the Fukang.
John?
