Si W Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Wish one would land in my back garden, Mars or Moon Rock would be nice, well worth a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I hope it's analysed while it's fresh - if it is a meteorite then falls, of this type are extremely rare - it actually belongs to the owners of the Cricket Ground and, when they work out it's potential value, my guess is that they might just want it back - fragments of the Barwell meteorite (total found = approx 45 kg) have a market value of around $100 per gram and that was just an "ordinary" chondrite - if it's of Lunar or Martian origin the market value could escalate to $2,000 per gram or more !.
