Greetings all,

Congrats on the find Robert. Wondering what the price will be on this
material. If new falls of ordinary chondrites are going for over
$100/gram, a CM should go for 5 to 10 times more. Hopefully there will
be a great amount of material found and the price will be affordable to
all collectors big and small.

Best to all!
