Lunar is still king and always will be.? Lunar 14 years ago was over $25,000.00/gram for DAG pieces while Martian was only $60.00/gram for Zagami.? Lunar material can be very striking while there is only one Martian breccia. ?

1999 is also 14 years ago... back then lunar was $1500 a gram or more always. Today lunar can be had for less then $400 a gram. Times have changed.
