John, There is a great deal of Morasko and there will, in the end, be not that much Bingol. The fact that there are many crusted individuals is a boon for collectors of most any budget. It may seem like a lot now because the market is "flooded" but that won't be the case in 6 months for sure

Hi John, It's a howarite fall. In my opinion it's probably about once in 20-30 year type thing. Expensive? Yes, but I think not over priced - at least not for what it is. Other achondrite falls like Passamonte - $1000 per gram On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 3:12 PM, Bigjohn Shea via

Speaking of planetary, it is ridiculous to think that some dealers are asking more for a Howardite than a Martian fall like Zagami. Zagami has less available weight and a better story and still will not fetch the higher prices it once did. It is not the collectors fault that dealers pay too

Hello Ruben and John I think with any fall it will be over priced but in a few months the value should fall. To be honest there isn't any thing special with the actual fall. The only thing that might cause this to go up in price is some scientist coins up a new chemical in this type of meteorite.

It is a myth that witnessed falls appreciate at a greater price than finds. Finds reached rock bottom prices several years ago. I know because it pained me to see NWA Howardites sometimes selling for just over a $1.00/gram. Now these same Howardites are fetching about $5.00/gram.
