Thanks for the heads up, Steve.

I've just talked to Blaine, and here is a sampling of what he is offering:

.005g  $175
.008g  $260
.013g  $400
.132g  $3300
.326g  $8000
.628g  $15000

This translates to about $30,000/gram to $35,000/gram for the smaller
pieces, and about $23,000/gram to $25,000/gram for the larger pieces.
He had 2.2 grams originally, but is already sold about half of that already.

I suspect he'll sell out sooner than that.

Yes, he's one of the few of the major meteorite dealers that has not
gone on the Internet yet.
I should add I've been buying meteorites from Blaine for a number of years
now, and he's the most honest and respected meteorite dealer that I know of.  
He has very good prices, too.

I'm excited, too.  The lunar meteorite will go nicely with my 6 different
SNCs.
