In 1995, Killgore gave up his job as a plumber to become a meteorite
prospector. He now has one of the world's premier private collections,
including one lunar specimen valued at $8 million that he located with
the help of Bedouin nomads.

NWA 773, which I guess he's discussing with the journalist here, has a
TKW of 633 g; at $8 million value, this comes to $12,638/g. The same
type of lunar gabbro material can be purchased for a few hundred per
gram today.
