Hello Listers, I think Michael Farmer made a good point and it seems his post didnt make it on here yet. This is what he said....
"Allende is one of the most important meteorites on the planet. Extremely undervalued due to the sheer amount which fell. Try getting it today. Not easy." I second that and with over 100's of research articles written on Allende, the discovery of CAI's, and that the oldest material found in the solar system was found from within Allende. This could be a fluke or could be a trend with Allende. Who knows but all I can say is get it while it is still around for a good price :) cause times could be changing.

Hello Listers Now I know Allende has always had a stable value per gram which has been around $10 to $12 a gram depending on the market or collection it comes from. But now, it seems that the value has jumped up for one auction on a 23gram slice, selling for $1000 at the Natural History Bonhams auction yesterday in Lo Ang, California. So it seems Allende is making a run for its value and it might be smart to get your hands on some before the market trend follows and might have to pay a new value of around $40 a gram. The price you have to pay for science and space, but for everything else, there is MasterCard :) http://www.bonhams.com/eur/auction/19429/lot/1097/ Shawn Alan IMCA 1633 eBay story http://www.ebay.com/sch/ph0t0phl0w/m.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
