Great points Mike and Adam. Because my wallet has been taking a beating from
the U.S. economy all I can say is "Mike set a piece of Russian fall aside
for me!"

Sorry Adam, but this fall has been seen in every country and every tv in
the world. I would not expect it to be expensive because for sure
thousands of stones will be recovered. The price on black beauty is
insane, already dropping and I have Moroccans begging me to buy it. This
Russian fall has excited the world, my sales are surging because of
interest.
I will take a bet with you, this Russian meteorite will fill every
collection in the world and Black beauty will be owned by very few people.
I know where I am going to put my money.

In my opinion, the Martian Breccia is far more important than an Ordinary
Chondrite and will hold its value better than a witnessed fall with
thousands of pieces on the market.. A witnessed fall may very well lose
90% of its value within a month or two once its coolness factor wears
off. The real story is in the event and once the limited amount of
collectors get their hands on some, the demand drops off quickly. On the
other hand, the way overpriced Martian meteorite will be appreciated much
longer unless pairings and competition drag the price down.
I always wait at least six months before investing in either one so that
I am am not paying 4 to 10 times its settled value.

Agreed, they are both cool.
So if Schrodinger's cat can be dead and alive at the same time, I would
ignore the rules and get both.

But one problem, the Russian fall is likely going to be relatively
cheap, I am sure hundreds of kilos will be found and the price will
likely be low. For $500 people will be able to buy one or many stones.
$500 in black beauty gets you a speck hardly identifiable as a
meteorite.
Both are very interesting meteorites, scientifically the Mars is more
interesting but dynamically the Russian fall is history-book material.
No comparison in my opinion:)
I'll be in Russia very soon, so get your pennies counted:) Michael

Why discriminate? Both are history-making meteorites in their own
rights. Black Beauty is not just another Mars rock and the Russian fall
is far from ordinary. We should see this as an opportunity (if there is
the opportunity to own the Russian fall) and them both to our
collections.

Hi List. What an exciting week in the world of
meteorites/asteroids!
So here goes...If you had only the choice of picking one small
fragment for your collection what would it be. Here are the
choices:
Black Beauty Martian meteorite NWA 7034 or A fragment of the recent
and most historic event of the Russian meteorite in Chebarkul.
Lets just say for ships and giggles that if you pick one you can
never have the other!
Any thoughts?
