Meenakshi Wadwha tried to keep the interviewer on topic by focusing on science but he would have nothing to do with it. Yep, treat an avocation like an Easter Egg hunt and hype the prices like the Antique Roadshow and there has to be some kind of black market because it makes the news.

The current price has dropped from over $400.00/gram to about $30.00/gram according to the 417 specimens that have already been sold on eBay. Judging from other recent falls, they should be selling for about $3.80 to $5.00 gram in a few months and there will be over 50 dealers offering it and

An example of our wonderful ineffective government serving its citizenship.  This is the worst leadership I have ever witnessed.  They should take the money fleeced from the public to write worthless new BLM laws and to pay for the Affordable Healthcare Act? and apply it to science.  At least

I am waiting for the Russian meteorite dealers to put a truckload on the market.  They always seem to price meteorites fairly and are not afraid to give steep discounts on larger pieces.  So like everybody else, I am waiting to add a piece to my personal collection.  I think LL's will hold up

I call this this Easter Egg hunt syndrome.  A lot of people believe meteorites are lying around everywhere just ready to be picked up like Easter Eggs on a child's hunt.  Then they can cash them in for huge amounts just like seen on TV.  In reality, even on a fall, it may be several hundred
