Sigh. Gold is worth $85,000 a kilo. This chondritic meteorite is worth about $1000 a kilo. It's also a very common meteorite type that doesn't add much scientific value.

Saw a fascinating fake Colombian emerald this weekend. It’s reconstituted; made of a mix of actual Colombian emerald chips and some hard resin, compressed into an emerald crystal shape, complete with pyrite inclusions and a pyrite crystal stuck on for authenticity
