Meteorite Worth...
Dear List;
Pardon my my venture at mentality and meteoritic worth.
I am having a fire sale to finance a trip for anything collectable this
weekend.
Using GOLD as a standard (meteorite worth is up and down too much for
this illustration).
We see that gold is $279/ounce +-. I bought some fine gold for $300
when the price was up, but is has some fine nuggets in it so it was
worth more like $350 to $400 an ounce (or that is what it is still worth
as small nuggets). I am hard up and need cash to finance a trip where
I would probably double my expense with profits of what I can collect
for free. It would be the same as selling a bunch of Gibbon for 50
cents a gram to unload a bunch to finance a trip to go hunt a new find
that is easy to find and all over the place. Lost YET?
Moral, it is easier to loose a little and stand to gain a bunch if being
in the right place at the right time is the more common sense way.
WORTH = what something's collateral, ready market spot value, investment
value and other considerations are. Another point, the worth of a
specimen may be related to; "Give my buddy a chunk of brown rock if he
takes me to the special green rock site he knows of".
The total worth thing is value for value, whether it be finincial, favor
for favor, prestige (I give you this rock be cause I am cool) or (you
are cool and I want to impress you) or I give this to science (because
science is cool and it will help humanity).
Worth, what's a drink of water worth? To someone drowning, or to a man
in the desert both have value, only one is greater.
