I am sure it would be fun to attend the show in the castle if one could find the time. The New Team LunarRock just returned from a grueling 1,700 plus mile field trip. We camped out in long-forgotten ghost and mining towns and at one point sheltered in an 1860s field house, not to mention a

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 not just the lower end of the planetaries being hit; it is widespread. Meteorite prices in general have been falling steadily for years due mainly to increased supply but have been hit particularly hard since 2008. Falls like Peekskill, Claxton and others can now be had for a fraction of

It is a myth that witnessed falls appreciate at a greater price than finds. Finds reached rock bottom prices several years ago. I know because it pained me to see NWA Howardites sometimes selling for just over a $1.00/gram. Now these same Howardites are fetching about $5.00/gram.
