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

[al mitt]

Hi Melanie and all,

Noblesville, Indiana is priced around $125 to $200 if you can find it. Sold 
for that when it came on the market about ten years ago. Low total weight 
usually makes a find or fall higher price.

Watch out for the frauds putting look alike Ash Creek on eBay. Best!
