Legitimate meaning it has a unique name and we know where, when, total mass, how, and by whom it was found. Also meaning that the appropriate lab work and pairing has been done. Have any meteorites other than an NWA lost 95% of their value in a 24 hour period? Not that i recall. Are most NON

Brad: Based upon your criteria of a "legitimate" meteorite, Lafayette does not qualify. We do not know for surewhen, where or by whom on Lafayette. Please educate us on which NWA meteorite lost 95% of it's value in 24 hours. Was this just another of your broad, sweeping statements made for shock

Well Brad, Let's get this strait: there is no (price) instability, there are legitimate falls and finds - meaning, I suppose, the others (NWA, in particular) are illagitimate and prices are holding steady. You have enlightened me to such a degree I have placed your emial in the folder
