Really Matteo, $200 gram is too much? $100 gram max? Murchison has a total
known weight of over 250 kilograms, I have no problem selling it for $100.00
per gram. As of now, there is barely 3 kilograms of this material. Perhaps
one kilogram total on the market. Based on my sales in the last hour, $200
per gram must be a fair price. Don't worry about it Matteo, it seems you
will not get any.

every dealers sale the meteorites for the prices he
want. Is not a law a dealer have to respect a price of
another dealer. And sinceraly for me $200/gr. is to
much, $100/gr. max its a ok price...or I have to sale
my Siena piece for $8000/gr. only why its impossible
find a piece, and TKW its many under the Moss
meteorite?
