I certainly agree with you, Laurence.
When I got started in this world of meteorites in 1998 there were really only 2
planetaries known, Calcalong and Nakhla, both mostly unobtainable, then a few
more were found, DAG 400 and NWA 482 for instance, then a few more, and even
more. Now there are

I'd like a taste of it.
Probably taste better than a meteorite ;-)

Hello Listers,
I agree, its supply and demand. Heck, I got a Martian for $125 per gram.
As for planataries, this is my theory... All you really need is a couple
meteorites from each body and then you move on. True, there is
scientific value to be had, but that's the case with every meteorite.

This looks like a Bolide Blue or a Fireball Feta, but having survived a fiery
fall, it could be a Smoked Gouda!

It is interesting that a planetary scientist would go as far as grouping all
lunar meteorites under one price like some kind of commodity. Lunar and
Martian meteorites have considerable diversity and one price doesn't fit
all.Imagine if collectors based their prices on the cheapest
It's true that for those prices you need to lay out some money.

Meteorite prices in general have been falling steadily for years due mainly
to increased supply but have been hit particularly hard since 2008. Falls

Well put, Adam.
For years, I owned and operated a company that sold at auction the whole gamut
of collectibles. You nailed it in your dissertation on the ebb and flow of
values and how they are affected by our everchanging culture. I remember when

I hosted a booth at HawaiiCon (http://www.hawaiicon.com) last year. I sold a
few pallasites, moldavites and lunar pendant vials, but the retail interest by
attendees were for comic books, science fiction toys like tricorders, ray guns
and steampunk contraptions.

Hi All,
Last November, I invited my 12 year old granson, Vincent, to accompany me to
one of the gun shows in Las Vegas. I intended to sell some of my collectible
firearms. He asked if he could take a fist sized (500 or so grams), Canyon
Diablo and offer it to the gun and ammo dealers. He sold

Good morning,
I guess that I haven't been following the market as closely as I should
have...but if any dealers have nice Martian or lunar specimens for sale at
prices anywhere near what the recent posts have mentioned, I would appreciate
hearing from you.

Hi Dennis,
From what I hear if you have $50,000 to spend you can buy cheap lunar
meteorites. The retail prices that I have seen are $300 to $250 per gram.
Thanks,

Supply and demand could be part of the story for lunars, maybe not for
martians. Here are the numbers for just new NWA lunars since 2010:

2011: 6

2013: 13
2014: 25
Here is the same time frame for NWA Martians:
2010: 11
