I still have it, no expert has looked at it to tell me what it is. I'd like it to be a rock from the heavens but until it's confirmed, well, it's just another curious rock. What puzzels me is if the Dutch thought the Americans gave them a moon rock, surely there would be documentation with it. Was it switched? Was it always a fake? There's more to this story, I'm sure!!
Can we please have a photo of your rock ! If it is rock rather than metal it is quite rare, perhaps a Carbonaceous chondrite
