> Cheap is a relative term. It is a lot cheaper now versus when it was first sold as a new pallasite find. But since it is "cool" looking material that appears to be similar to a pallasite, it is still not $0.10/g or less....like cheap chondrites and irons. Pricing is still in the $1 to $3 per gram range. See the site below for pieces at $1.50/g. > http://www.polandmet.com/
Thanks Someone can laugh that pallasite-wrong cost few times more than Brahin pallasite(ebay curiosity), but there is just areound 3 importand reassons for this in my opinion: First Shirokovsky is verry stable. I personally in around 800g of slices find only one with rust. This looked like accident in preparing this single slice. Second, Half of market success of Shirokovsky is this how this mineral was prepared. Give us 1mm thin brahin slices with 90% transparent olivines, and I (and not only me) pay more than for Shirokovsky. Third Its just cool looking thing, and we collecting cool things, so its "must-have" specimen in our collections not mater if this is meteorite or not.
