G'day Martin, Bernd & List,

Lodran is indeed still one of the more $$$$$ meteorites. Even if you could
find a piece for sale I think you might expect to still pay 5-6 times more
than NWA 2235. Seems cheap now Bernd! ;-)

Here's a close-up pic of my tiny 12mg Lodran fragment. Interesting!

Cheers,

Jeff

Gosh, I think I once paid Steve Arnold...the other one... several
hundred dollars for a very nice micro of Lodran. I think that price was
well into the $5-figures. Seemed high at the time anyway.

Here is a pic on David Weir's site of a larger piece of Lodran I had
the pleasure of inspecting while at the Smithsonian:
