Hello Ruben and John

I think with any fall it will be over priced but in a few months the
value should fall. To be honest there isn't any thing special with the
actual fall. The only thing that might cause this to go up in price is
some scientist coins up a new chemical in this type of meteorite.
Howardites are lead to be from from Vest. Not including HED/ Vesta
meteorite there are over 942 meteorites from there. How many more do
collecters need to collect from one body. Like for me, all I need is one
lunar meteorite and only one or 2 meteorites from Mars. At any rate, it
will be exciting to see the write up and anything else becomes of this
fall.
