Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Yes...definitely the best deal for Almahatta Sitta from Anne and as she said its not an ordinary chondrite. Almahatta Sitta is probably one of the most important falls ever due to it's discovery, circumstances of fall, recovery and ongoing science. Also micro's nearly always sell for many times larger slices or individualsthat's why Steve's small part slices are selling for more per gram. I was commenting on Michaels hammer as an individual. No doubt if it ever gets sliced it will sell for even more per gram...even though it is an ordinary chondrite which happens to have hit something. I know I would rather spend my money on the Almahatta Sitta or a large classified Bassikounou or something similar with a great character that displays well. Then that goes down to personal preference. If you collect hammers than I suppose it may be a bargain. Each collector has their own focus.

Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Thank you, Graham, for the recommendation! And for those of you who asked: The link to the special Almahata Sitta page is now on the NEWS page. Look for the clikable link at the top of all pages on my site. Along with all the other links. (and I thought I was making things easier and simpler!!!);-) Do let me know if you have any questions.

Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Wow! Common chondrite going for $150/gm. Even though it is a hammer and a recent fall this price is nuts. Prices are sky rocketing. My theory is that Meteorite Men have give some much new exposure to meteorites that there are far too many buyers for what is out there.

Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Hi Graham all, It seemed like a very low price to me - in fact it is Less than 50% over the rest of the material which has Consistently been sold for $100/g. That is a very modest increase, Indeed since it is one of only three hammer stones in this fall and the only one that will ever be available. (the other 2 are a house and A garden hose - both definitely not available).

Re: [meteorite-list] WI fall price...wow!
Hi Tet, The consistent reports as to the number of miles walked On the average relative to the number of grams recovered Make $100/g seem modest, especially when you combine that With the cost of travel, meals and lodging. My guess is the average hunter who went to WI and found one specimen paid well over $100/g, himself, not counting all the time And walking involved. Certainly there are exceptions, but On the average, the reports are consistent. Far too many buyers is, of course, relative. If there Weren't buyers willing to spend $100/g, my guess is everyone Would simply keep the specimens they found - in fact, there Are many reports that many are doing just that, given the Time, energy and cost of getting them.

List, I think the highest price per gram was the very first piece that Steve Arnold sold. It was a .117G flake that sold for $63.00.
