Extreme rarity is the primary but not the only reason why the choicest pieces of space debris command the highest prices.

Key Points: 
  • Extreme rarity is the primary but not the only reason why the choicest pieces of space debris command the highest prices.
  • Iron silicide spherules offer a first-hand perspective into neglected phenomena"- says the lead author of the study, Sergei Batovrin, who found silicide spherules in the Ural Mountains.
  • For collectors, silicide spherules are probably the only opportunity to touch an artifact from the cosmic calamity of a grand scale.
  • Fragments of large silicide spherules with a combined weight of 3.5 grams fetched $42,500 or $11,830 per gram.
