Hi Listees,

Can someone elaborate on why NWA 7325 and it's possible pairings are
selling for $10,000/g in some cases?  There is speculation that it
originated from Mercury, but that is only speculation at this point.
One can speculate anything.  Heck, it might be from Alpha Centauri.

There are 60 other ungrouped achondrites and some of them have very
unusual characteristics.  Why is NWA 7325 priced so high above the
others?  The low-TKW does not explain the price (maybe in small part),
given the fact that pairings appear to be surfacing.

This is not a criticism of any dealer or dealers.  I am just curious
how people have arrived at this price.

Best regards,

MikeG
