[meteorite-list] Meteorite may have landed in Clare

[Göran Axelsson]

Hi Paul!

I think you got the gold price a bit high... it is $1266 per troy ounce 
or $39 per gram.
Then 50 times their weight in gold is $1970 per gram. I've seen higher 
prices for meteorites.

Granted, not many meteorites would reach that price.... but a witnessed 
lunar fall might do it.
