Campo del Cielo meteorite

[rockpassion]

I have bought these Campo del Cielo meteorite fragments and wondered if they have any value or what the current market price per gram is. total weight of all the fragments is 152 grams.

Do not know the value but they sure look cool!

Good meteorite for a starter collection. Dealers usually sell small specimens like yours at prices in the region of $1 to $2 per gram.

What you have are known as 'crystals'. They're from larger chunks of the meteorite which have been dipped in liquid nitrogen to make them brittle and then hit with a lump hammer to break out attractive crystalline portions as affordable collector items.
