    This 1/4" thick slice of the Fukang meteorite sold at auction for 525k GBP, or $635,202.75 USD in July of 2021. That's $2352.60 per Troy ounce, or 30% more than the spot price of gold at the time of this post, $1811.

    Very nice. How much was made ($) selling the whole meteorite? At first I thought there was a misspelling . . .
