I am not trying to throw mud at my competitors.
But if this meteorite is really a genuine and rare Australian Meteorite (which I would assume, looking at the asked minimum price tag), then you would not get an Export Permit for it. This is required for all Australian Meteorites under the UNICEF Removable Cultural Heritage Act , (does not apply for Australite Tektites!).
Our Museums are quite forthcoming and often reluctant to issue a permit for widely distributed Australian Meteorites of tghey are not of very high scientific value, which is deeply appreciated. Even thought there are quite a few Meteorites you would not get an Export License for. (You may have to come to Australia and buy them here and smuggle out of the country, which is against the law!) ;-)
As this chap offers to sell internationally I certainly wolud ask for the permit to export.
This clarification is also intended to let you know, it's not me offering this priceless heavenly gem under a new ID, :-P 'cause I am living in Victoria, AUSTRALIA, too.
Cheers, and best regards from down-under, the land of laughter and larrikins, :-D
