[meteorite-list] Ash Creek the most expensive ordinary chondrite?‏

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi Melanie,

No... it's pricey but there are plenty that are more expensive. When 
available, historic falls and rare/special ordinary chondrites can often 
consistently sell for more. Ensisheim, Krymka, Semarkona, Sylacauga and even 
NWA's like NWA 2892/2748 will consistenly sell for more. It's just a case of 
supply vs demand.

Cheers,

Jeff
