Fukang Pallasite! $12 Million Dollars?

Bonham's is auctioning off the main mass of the Fukang Pallasite, April 30th! That's 925+ pounds of pure pallasite (420,000 grams give or take) being sold for expected to auction for $1M+ at Bonham's in New York later this month.

If this meteorite goes for ONLY $1M the person or company who buys it will have the most precious pallasite meteorite on the planet, and perhaps the most valuable as well. If sliced and sold this piece would generate more than $30 per gram that would bring more than $12M dollars to one lucky owner.

Of course to some this meteorite is priceless, to others it's just another rock. To me, well, let's just say it's a beautiful pallasite and leave it at that. ;)
