[meteorite-list] FW: CALI COLOMBIA HOUSE SMASHER> AssortedSizes & Prices!

4000/gr.? Not even Renazzo have a similar price and is one
of the rarest meteorites in the world. I never, and repeat,
never give a $4000/gr. for a ordinary chondrite fall few
days ago, is this have 200 gr. tkw or 200 kg. tkw. For me is
only speculation, does I had ask then for a Siena slice????
$10,000/gr.? Yes is 3.5 kg. TKW but how many grams is
available in the market? Many many few. And I repeat, who is
confirm me never other pieces coming from the site? Also
Bassikounou they confirmed only 3 kg. tkw and after is go to
over 100 kg. TKW....and the same the price from $10-20 to
$2.5-1/gr.
