[meteorite-list] New California meteorite found!

[almitt2 at localnet.com]

Greetings all,

Congrats on the find Robert. Wondering what the price will be on this 
material. If new falls of ordinary chondrites are going for over 
$100/gram, a CM should go for 5 to 10 times more. Hopefully there will 
be a great amount of material found and the price will be affordable to 
all collectors big and small.

Best to all!
