Pretty easy one Shawn, but I'm not sure it'll be the one you are thinking of,
and I'm sure I won't be the 10th "correct" submission...
Hadley Rille
The Apollo missions cost, in 2005 dollars, ~170 Billion dollars.
Returning with a total of 381.7 kg of material, thus each gram costs a whopping
$44,537,594.97, so this is the cost, per gram of Hadley Rille, 5 years ago. The
price has increased since then...
Since Hadley Rille was an estimated in weight at 3 milligrams, the total cost
of the entire meteorite was, again in 2005 dollars, $133,612.77
