How rare is this? A Hole. Not just any hole but a hole
through a ceiling tile that a meteorite just flew
through toward the end of its gazillian year cosmic
journey. Not something just damaged by a meteorite but
an actual meteorite hole.
I chopped two small pieces out of the sides of the
tile to make meteorite kits (I havent had time to get
at it much but will eventually do so - and sell pieces
to everybody who I have promised some to).

I suspect that this is worth $10,000 or so. This might
sound high at first but just think about it. How many
people (Or museums) can claim to have a meteorite
hole? It would certainly look nice in a museum (Or, if
one was into such things) in your living room just
above the moose antler trophy.
I just thought somebody might like to see photos of
this. After all, a meteorite hole dont form every day.
Cheers
