NorrinRadd 0 #1 July 1, 2013 ... I just found a meteorite. About a foot across, and close to 20 pounds. It is a chondrite, with all sorts of smaller fragments (chondrules) mooshed together. There is also a lot of iron in it, judging by the weight and the iron oxide. I have no way of guessing its age, but it is not inconceivable that parts of it, at least, are pre-solar dust. Many of these space rocks/debris are as old or even older than Earth! Kinda humbling. Really amazing find. Definitely a keeper.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Depending on the make up you could be looking at between 200.00 ~ 1000.00 a pound. But- IF those mooshed together things are crystals...and in a fairly heavy concentration ~ ballpark of 2000.00 a pound! If it's a chunk of Mars on the other hard...that's at least a cool Million per pound! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
