[meteorite-list] Odp: Re: Wish list Meteorite choice (can only pick one)
Hi, Yeah, true, this is what people had with Pultusk more than hundred years ago (maybe less private collectors, but Museum institutions for sure), same as with Sikhotes.. This fall will be super important BB is rare, maybe super rare but is overpriced?Most people will take more Russian fall than BB?.

I would not expect it to be expensive because for sure thousands of stones will be recovered. The price on black beauty is insane, already dropping and I have Moroccans begging me to buy it. This Russian fall has excited the world, my sales are surging because of interest. I will take a bet with you, this Russian meteorite will fill every collection in the world and Black beauty will be owned by very few people. I know where I am going to put my money.

I'm waiting till the Russians bring some sacks loads of Chebarkul to Ensisheim and hopefully there will be some BB there straight from Morocco too...why choose when you can probably have both if you wait ;-) Graham On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 7:02 PM, Tomasz Jakubowski illae...@wp.pl wrote: Hi, Yeah, true, this is what people had with Pultusk more than hundred years ago (maybe less private collectors, but Museum institutions for sure), same as with Sikhotes..
