Hi Stuart and List,
Questions like this can be tricky, depending on the information
sources available.
For example...
I once paid $100 for a 1mg speck of Sylacauga. That amounts to a
staggering $100,000/gram.
Even further....
I once traded for a 1mg speck of Lafayette. In the process of moving
the speck to another gemjar, the speck fractured into two pieces - one
larger, one smaller. I sold the smaller sub-speck for $100. I would
wager that the speck weighed less than 1/2 milligram. So the selling
price on that was about $200,000 per gram or more.
From everything I have read or seen, $200K per gram exceeds any known
auction price or selling price for a meteorite (per gram).
Of course, I wasn't around back before the internet and during the
opening days of the Saharan gold rush when lunars and martians were
selling for astronomical prices. During those days, Calcalong Creek
was exceedingly-expensive. It is indeed possible that some intrepid
soul paid more than $200K/gram for a speck of it.
Best regards,
MikeG

Is it written somewhere that this IS the most expensive per gram?? Because
internet searches turns up all different ones as "the most expensive
ever".
