Dear Marcin;
We collect many oddities, shirokovsky is a great oddity! Some of us
have a brick from the old H.H. Ninninger Meteorite Museum, and some have
a piece of very collectable toilet porcelain from there as well. Wild
crazy oddities are collectable, even at respectable prices.
Viva collecting oddities! Future: ink pen once used by O.Richard
Norton for signing his books, magnet used by Bob Haag, sandal owned by
Michael Blood, anything touched by Bernd Pauli!
Best,
Dave F.
(and a meteorwrong found by me might be a collectable oddity)

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.

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.
Good night all
