I can't believe anybody would reward these fraudsters by purchasing this
fake garbage. A lot of collectors lost thousands of dollars on this material
that probable cost 40 cents a kilogram to produce.

Oh Adam,
Did You never lost money on fake meteorite, dishonest seller or lunar that
become a earth rock ? Did You never buy Putorano only becouse it looks
fantastic ? I know many persons was dissapointed, but this not change fact
that this material is nice, strange and mysterious and its part of meteorite
history. Anyone who buy it know, its a fake. Their choice.
I love my 1mm thin transparent slice of Shiro same as my 2mm Brahin or
Seymchan.

And in the name of "science" :), even if its very late here, I etched one of
my endpieces. 30/70% Nitric Acid in alcohol.
For You Michael :)

Iron become dark and very ugly. How its possible if ther should be 20-47 wt%
Ni ?
