This seller is based in Thailand. There are a bunch of good sellers operating out of Thailand, the gem capital of the world (at least for the moment), but there are MANY more bogus sellers of not-what-they-advertise. Although this seller has a reasonable record, I have yet to see a meteorite with gemmy red flashes; anyone remember the notorious "Emerald" meteorite(s)? I think they got some pretty rocks and slapped a "meteorite" label on them; either that, or they were told this was a meteorite and took it at face value. Looks more like a ammolite, andesine, or other opalescent-type terrestrial rock to me
