I don’t know why it would be called valuable, because I’m seeing prices for about $2.50/gm, which doesn’t suggest high value.
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.
