Hi List, Let's make assumptions, shall we?
Assume the man did give a Mbale meteorite to the US Embassy. Assume the Mbale stone in question is a large, "museum-class" individual with fresh crust, regmaglypts, and it weighs 2 kilos. Assume the meteorite was a "loaner" and the giver had the expectation or right to get it back at some point in the future. Even with all of those assumptions, the stone is worth, at most, a couple thousand dollars - tops, under the best of circumstances. If money is what the guy is after and he wants the fair market value, give him a new iPhone and a $200 iTunes gift card, and call it even.
