PICKING UP THE PIECES
To paint a picture of our universe, a team of scientists combs Antarctica for meteorites
Tuesday, November 21, 2006
Mike  LaffertyTHE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

. . . Trade exploded in the 1990s, when a rare meteorite discovered in Australia fetched $40,000 a gram. Suddenly, prospectors began combing spots in Australia, the American Southwest and the Sahara.. . . .

About one in a thousand meteorites is from the moon or Mars. The remainder comes from the asteroid belt.

Only about 100 lunar meteorites have been found on Earth, and this was only the second discovered in Antarctica.

Sue: Thanks for the article.

The prices will go up again but there are still tons of meteorites from NWA (North West Africa) in the dealers inventories. It will be awhile before the prices go up  substantially.

Prices have come way down since then and you can buy a lunar piece for around $1000.00 a gram. Pricey but not terrible expensive.
