“It’d be worth about $8500, based on its weight. That’s a nice bonus cheque, but hardly in the realm of diamonds or gold.”
17 kg x 1000g/Kg x $2.50/g = $ 42,500
Seems that the value depends more on the rarity of the type of meteorite, some going for less, some for much more.
You’re right. For some reason, I multiplied by 1/10 its weight.
Also size. Kinda like diamonds, small ones are actually fairly common. Big ones are not.
