Farmer’s ‘ham press’ turns out to be a $5-million iron meteorite!!

5 million bucks for a rock???

Space rocks yes. You see one go down...go find it!

Wow thats great Im going to go home and check all my rocks now lol


great thread 5 stars

if it's just an iron meteorite, no way it's worth that much

the only rocks THAT valuable are moon/mars, and some other rare asteroid rocks

just checked the article, and it says it's the same type of rock that the Canyon Diablo meteorite is, an IAB meteorite..

Based on a rough translation of the original source, and a bit of sleuthing about meteorite types, tests conducted on slices of the meteorite apparently confirmed that it was an octahedrite iron IAB meteorite.
