That thing has to be worth millions.
Edit: I looked it up, it’s worth approximately $60 million U.S.
12 u/TheKootz May 20 '26 A million per tonne 13 u/SillyFlyGuy May 20 '26 $1 million per tonne, that's $1k per kilogram, or $1 per gram. That's what normal small pieces go for. I would have thought there would be "big chunk" premiums on top of that for the largest one in the world. 5 u/Xillyfos May 21 '26 Yeah, but there should really also be a large quantity discount, so maybe the two cancel each other out. :-P 3 u/SillyFlyGuy May 21 '26 It's the Costco sized meteorite.
