It is interesting that a planetary scientist would go as far as grouping all
lunar meteorites under one price like some kind of commodity. Lunar and
Martian meteorites have considerable diversity and one price doesn't fit
all. Imagine if collectors based their prices on the cheapest Pallasite
which is about a $1.00 a gram and tried to apply this same price to Esquel.

16 kilograms, is that all? There are several metric tons of gold and
diamonds being mined every year.

$60.00 a barrel for oil which still translate to over $3.00 a gallon at the
pump. Oil is a commodity which is largely controlled by the producers.

Anybody trying to commoditize meteorites is out of touch,
