Mr.GG2 took his similarly sized meteorite to the Univ of Washington for the same reason. He had been offered $35,000 for it. The University kept it, refused to return it, cut it up into smaller pieces to share around with other universities and told him it was too rare for a private individual to own. He had to go to court and sue them for theft. The judge ordered the Univ to bring the meteorite to court. They showed up with a piece about the size of a cigarette pack. So he gave Mr. GG2 a $50000 judgement and the University has refused to pay so he will likely never get the money. Never take a meteorite to a University. 😡

Outrageous!

Maybe he could assign the debt to a collection agency. They’d get the money, but take a cut.
