Sorry Ruben,

Pasamonte is about $250/$300 a gram.
This one is terribly over-priced.
I love great historical falls, but I'll skip this one.

Hi John,

It's a howarite fall.....

In my opinion it's probably about once in
20-30 year type thing.
Expensive? Yes, but I think not over priced - at least
not for what
it is.

Other achondrite falls like Passamonte - $1000 per
gram
