13-years ago tim mccoy of the smithsonian was quoted as saying that
the holy grail of martian meteorites was governador valadares. while
chassigny is the most exotic among the classics, GV is the
indisputably the rarest. metaphoric holy grails necessarily change
with the times.

Hi Steve,
This question can only be properly answered by addressing
It at several levels:
In theory, one that PROVES life on Mars does or did exist.
Of those known to exist, ALH84001 would, of course, be the
"Holy
Grail" of the known Martians.
Of those that are (at least theoretically) available,
Chassigny is,
By far, the rarest, making it the "Holy Grail" of available Martians.
Hope that clears it up, Steve.
Best wishes, Michael

martain meteorites?ZAGAMI?LAFAYETTE?Any of the
NWA'S?The DAG'S?DHOFARS?ALH 84001?I thought this might
be a good thread to start.While I was at the bank last
week,I was organizing my other collection and I was
wondering what is the holy grail of martains?I have a
6.3 gram slice of D. A. G. 476 as my only martain.So
it brought the above question.Any comments will be
excitingly awaited.
