Three things to think about:

1) Until the labs start increasing their throughput, it will be necessary
to make informed guesses.
        "A rose, by any other name, is still a rose."

2) Did naming irregularities cause the fall in meteorite prices? How about
the over-supply of meteorites and a bad economy?

3) A Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of meteorite prices? (I hope
not! Meteorites don't fall into such nice discrete categories.
        No one pays Scott prices. Scott's catalog has a history of being used to
manipulate the market.)

No time to discuss these now, but so often meteorite worries seem like a
tempest in a teapot!

Cheers,
Nick
