Hry guys, I Michael Farmer, did not sell the
slightest speck of Cali for $4000 per gram ok? I sold
every gram I have except my personal collection pieces
(2) and about 1/10 of a gram of tiny fragments. The
market will bear what it will, between Robert and I,

Michael Blood, come on man! You need to clean your
ears or take notes when you buy things. You called
Robert Ward day and night, and did everything under
the sun to buy pieces of Cali. Against my advice, he
sold all to you except the two fragments everyone saw
on ebay. You even bought the second

Yeah, it would have been nice to bring home more than

So what are you saying? That after telling the list
that Park Forest is only worth $6.00 gram, you then
bough for $50.00 gram? Um, I dont think so, especially
when it sold for a year after the fall on ebay for
~$10-25 per gram.
Matteo, do you have a clue what I sold Cali for? I
don't think you do,

You (and there have been a few over the years, as there are
in any relationship) I would take it to you, not to the list.
Perhaps you inferred I was sniping at you? Not the case.

Hi Darryl, list
The foregoing notwithstanding, what is it about Cali that makes it
worth $4000/g?
That is easily answered: Because it is a METEORITE.
Now, like so often, we are in a pricing debate.
Watch out below for a BUY recommendation in a column on Meteorite Market
Trends.

Thought-provoking post, Martin, well done! Be that as it may, everyone seems to

Hi all -
Just a random thought with coffee -
Perhaps the reason we are seeing so few meteorites on
Mars is that given Mars' thin atmosphere, a horizontal
entry is necessary for meteroid survival. If there is
no horizontal flight, then the impact speed remains
high enough to either bury them

Peekskill was admittedly a poor example; I chose Peekskill solely to

Great Photo!! I was with a group on the west side of south park (about 15
miles west of you) and saw the exact same scene. The combination of the
