Hi Melanie,
No... it's pricey but there are plenty that are more expensive. When
available, historic falls and rare/special ordinary chondrites can often
consistently sell for more. Ensisheim, Krymka, Semarkona, Sylacauga and even
NWA's like NWA 2892/2748 will consistenly sell for more. It's just a case of
supply vs demand.
Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: [meteorite-list] Ash Creek the most expensive ordinary chondrite?
Could Ash Creek/West Texas be the most expensive ordinary chondrite on
the meteorite market (or one of the most expensive)? They seem to cost way
more than Buzzard Coulees..
Sure it is still a pretty resent observed fall, but I get blown away by
the prices per gram... Is it also because of its somewhat 'marbled'
matrix?
Guess it would be some time before I could obtain a decent specimen.. :D
