[meteorite-list] Re: Park Forest Fall to Matteo

[Fredmeteorhall]

Dear Matteo;
  The reason that this meteorite is selling for high $ is the excitement of the moment and the obvious historical significance of this fall. The fireball was witnessed, the sound wave was heard, the meteorite CRASHED through roofs, into houses, cars, trees, and a computer printer! What more do you want? If this sucker had crashed through the roof of your home and smacked something of yours, what would you value the meteorite at? $100 per gram, $500 per gram? Be truthful now, I'm willing to bet that it would be PRICELESS to you (but maybe you would sell it at $5,000 per gram???) So Matteo, just sit back and enjoy the excitement and fun of it all.
Regards, Fred Hall, in Colorado, not Chicago, darn it.
