[meteorite-list] Allende meteorite selling for around $40 a gram!!!

[Shawn Alan]

Hello Listers

Now I know Allende has always had a stable value per gram which has been around $10 to $12 a gram depending on the market or collection it comes from. But now, it seems that the value has jumped up for one auction on a 23gram slice, selling for $1000 at the Natural History Bonhams auction yesterday in Lo Ang, California. So it seems Allende is making a run for its value and it might be smart to get your hands on some before the market trend follows and might have to pay a new value of around $40 a gram. The price you have to pay for science and space, but for everything else, there is MasterCard :)
