Hello Steve and List, "how much of that is actually outside of their main mass and in private collections?"
A modest but choice 4.1 grams in my collection -- purchased from the Zeitschels in September 1987. Talking about what aubrites are worth, when I got my 4.1 grams from Walter Zeitschel, I paid 100 German Marks. In September 1987, one US dollar was about DM 1.81, which equalled about $56 in 1987, almost 20 years ago. If I compare the price of my piece with the ones Mike Farmer has on his website (beautiful ones with crust!), it would now cost $205 - mine doesn't have crust which probably reduces its price ... well, so I guess I would have to pay about $150-180 nowadays. Not too bad, ... but you all know I don't collect meteorites because of what they are worth in money but for their beauty and their extraterrestrial provenance.
