It looks identical to St. Michel from Finland. L6 breccia. Beautiful meteorite, we are lucky with this one that at least many pristine stones are being found. I would kill to have a multi-kilo piece though. Michael Farmer --- On Fri, 2/27/09, Jeff Kuyken wrote: > From: Jeff Kuyken > Subjec

$100/g may seem pricey but then we are collectors of extraordinary (indeed, extraterrestrial) material. If commercial value is to be placed on such items, I think the rarity of such material would qualify it as more valuable than they actually sell for. Out of interest, just how much do dealers
