Every video I've seen so far seems to show "partial" levitation, with part of the sample repelled but an edge resting on the support below. That's as true of this rather large sample as well as the little fragments I've seen levitating before. I would think that if this were the true Meissner effect some small fragment of purer-phase material would be able to levitate without resting on anything. It's a very interesting material, regardless, assuming that this video is real.
