Pricey rocks for The Man Who Has Everything.

Personally, I like “The Scream” - which would be kinda fun to feature in the vestibule of my mansion in the Hamptons.

I already own a piece of a meteorite that fell in Central Africa in the 19th century. I keep a slice of it on a chain around my neck. It has these bizarre striations visible in the metal, and I’m told it’s from crystals of nickel in the iron, and that the only conditions under which those striations form is in an absolute vacuum at near 0 Kelvin. In others words, outer space. The meteorite is supposedly dated to be nearly 4+ billion years old, making it older than the Earth itself.

Either that or it’s a piece of cold-rolled high-carbon steel and the guy who sold it to me is a top-notch snake-oil salesman.
