Re: [meteorite-list] Current Sericho Habaswein Pallasite Prices
One dealer was offering Brenham, a well-known ruster with the description, No artificial preservatives or coatings where used in its preparation, like this was some kind of selling point. I think the referenced examples of Sericho/Habaswein were not clear coated thus the dull appearance. The same claim was made for Seymchan and Brenham about the the supply drying up yet 12 year later, there is still plenty on the market. In the end, buyers determine the price, not dealers. This was proven by undocumented lunar material being placed on the market with no dealer added value whatsoever. Some well-known dealers, thinking more of their own skills than that of research scientists, went as far as providing COAs for material that they, themselves, had deemed to be lunar with no laboratory input.

Re: [meteorite-list] Current Sericho Habaswein Pallasite Prices
As mentioned before, those really are not good quality specimens. Not very representative examples, Adam. Also the 2kg or bigger specimens/lots of Hasbaswein have been selling for 0.50$/g or less from the source for months now. Regardless of size or price changes (which are temporary anyhow) once the supply dries up people will wish they had gotten the specimen they wanted when they could. Cheers, John A.

It looks like the price of the Sericho/Habaswein Pallasite has dropped down to about 36 cents a gram in some current cases for sliced/prepared examples. https://www.ebay.com/itm/238-gram-NEW-PALLASITE-METEORITE-END-CUT-KENYA-AFRICA-SARICHO-HABASWEIN-/232630006031?hash=item3629d4310f%3Ag%3AedcAAOSwALtaWt6-&nma=true&si=p3naGH9mW7Ka57JHRQ%252BBALCfJYE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/132-gram-NEW-PALLASITE-METEORITE-FULL-SLICE-KENYA-AFRICA-SARICHO-HABASWEIN-/232630002151?hash=item3629d421e7%3Ag%3AJ40AAOSwp7taWt4J&nma=true&si=p3naGH9mW7Ka57JHRQ%252BBALCfJYE%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 I am waiting for some good buys on Martian material next.
