Hi all, I NEVER challenge list emails and maybe that's why this one was thrown out there.
However, I can't stay quiet on this one - It's just silliness to assume what we paid! Please Dan Miller tell me who sold for $200-$400 per gram. Names? I know of only one (fragment or complete stone) that sold for anywhere near that and it sold for $15000 for a 35.1 gram stone (which was $427 per gram) and I think that was fair for such a huge purchase. I realize I don't need to offer this information but I will. ALL of the fragments or individuals I purchased cost me between 500-1000 per gram. I then donated (not SOLD) specimens to ASU plus I helped make specimens available to other institutions. So please don't insinuate we are getting rich by fleecing the locals. Most dealers or meteorite enthusiasts lost money on the trip! P.S. I'm a buyer for these stones (broken or whole) and will pay at least $500 per gram and maybe more depending on it's features!
