I know of a few pieces for a great price. Better than 25/g!

Hi Mike,

Well, perhaps not really a hammer as defined by Capt. Blood.
Hosur basically fell in the village suburbs
damaging streets, trees, ponds...apparently
neither houses, not humans. One fragment fell a
few meters from a cow assembly....

The best documentation for this fall is described on the site of Svend Buhl:

http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/meteorite%20fall_1.htm

NB: Hosur apparently sells in retail between 25
and 50 $/g. To my best knowledge, the 2 big
fragments on consignment in Ensi should turn around 10-12 euro/g.

Always welcome here!

My best,

Zelimir
