As far as I know,
Calcalong Creek in the 90ies, where some carats were priced beyond 1
million/g were reported. No idea, how much actually was sold. Followed by
the next Moons DaG 400 and DaG 262 hitting the scene with initially
200,000-250,000 per gram - and finally NWA 011, when there still was the
discussion about an origin from Mercury, where small shavings were sold at
100$/milligram.

Buckleboo!

Betreff: [meteorite-list] Most expensive rock?

Hi folks,

After seeing one of Adam's Chassy specks go on eBay for the eye-watering
figure of ~$87,000/g, I wondered what the most expensive price paid for
a specimen was?

I suppose it's two questions - the highest dollar price/gram (and I
suppose Chassigny might take this even off eBay), and the highest
absolute amount paid for a single example.

Anyone know?

Mark
