Please tell me where you are finding NWA 869
for 10 cents a gram
To get a sphere of this size you have to start with
a 3" cube and cut the corners off 16 times before you put it in the sphere
machine for many hours and many grit changes.
I have looked into having spheres made from many
different types of meteorite and it is a lot more expensive then most people
think.

Michael,
is there something I am missing on this piece? Even if the
original
chunk of NWA869 weighed 500 grams, and the rest was wasted in
cutting,
wouldn't the uncut stone have sold for about $50? I would think
the
'sphering' process wouldn't add more than $75 to $100 at most to the
retail price. Where does the $400 or more 'value' come from? I
am sorry if
I am misunderstanding something.
