Hi, Gary and all,

Once the rock has been positively identified as terrestrial by the lab, I
wonder if it technically could still be advertised as a possible meteorite
on eBay thereafter, simply by the support of the vision.

Otherwise, everyone with a piece of furnace slag can represent it as
extraterrestrial simply by the "vision" or even hunch they had saying that
it was so, lab tests or not.

Cheers,
Pete

Hi Darren,

He is different. I have met him and have seen this supposed meteorite up
close. I have
some crumbs and small chips but have two 6" X 1/2" slices coming to me soon.
  I have also
arranged for two more slices to go to reputable geologists to find out just
what it is.
Whatever it is, it should be identified and placed in the proper museum for
showing. It
is unbelievable in person. I suspect Magnetite schist or perhaps upthrust
continental
shelf shaped by magamtic-granite and magnetite replacement, but that is for
the experts
to answer. Whatever it is it has a value inherent by its magnitude and
unusual shape.
If it can be explained and displayed to the public I hope he can make some
$$$ for his
ministry along the way. He is convinced his vision from God is the fact of
the matter,
and I have explained to him why that is nigh impossible, but he has his
convictions.
Truth be told, he didn't preach or try to convert and is eager to identify
what he has.
Still, he will, in my opinion, retain his personal beliefs about its origin.

Gary
