List:
This brings up a question: If a meteorite in unclassified, how does it affect
the value? I would think considerably, as most collectors desire documentation
for their pieces, as any collector does. However, others may not care if they
can get (a martian or lunar) for less money; but with higher risk. I would
think that most dealers would want to get everything classified, as they could
get more money. I can certainly understand that the nomads want to keep their
locations secret, but the dealer should still get the finds classified, and
find out if certain pieces were found together. I think over time, the
unclassified stones will lose value, while the classified stones will increase
in value. I think it's a shame that so many stones get unclassified, it's like
have old paintings or works of are unsigned.
Just my Thoughts,
