Hi All,

Do wonders never cease. The blue hue is interesting, but if it is a
lunar, then I'm Mickey Mouse! Maybe it is another one of those Magic
Moon rocks, but in this case it turns blue when you flash it with a
camera.

Speaking of which...P. T. Barnum was right and with the holiday season
coming up, there will be those that are na?ve and buy something as a
gift that is far from what they thought. Case in point, I have tried
multiple times to get ebay to address this listing that has been on
there for many months:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231011500778?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Judging from the current listing, they have sold 13 of these magic moon
rock kits in this round alone. Being a novelty item and cheap price is
irrelevant. It's bad. I have submitted complaints several times in the
ebay "report an item" procedure, pointing out that to list it in the
title as Moon rocks and then do nothing in the description to
substantiate the claim is bogus, especially when they are nothing of the
sort. Ebay has done zip in response. Maybe someone more persuasive can
get eBay's attention. Notes to the seller go unanswered. The only magic
is their ability to trick the unsuspecting!

Best regards,
Daniel

It looks like a piece of shale.
Has anyone ever heard of that seller?
