[meteorite-list] [IMCA List] Creston new fall prices

[Raremeteorites]

Maybe I should dig out my meteorite and collectables inventories from deep 
storage since it looks like the market has fully recovered and then some if 
this new fall is a real indication.

Give me a break, $300.00/gram for an ordinary chondrite?  The price has gone 
up quicker than my health care premiums which increased by 25% in one year.

I think it is time to shut down my mining and mineral operations and go back 
to dealing meteorites since an L6 fall is now worth 10 times the price of 
gold.,

Adam
