Space rocks go under the hammer
"Some of the world's most famous meteorites have gone under the hammer at a New York auction house in what is said to be the first sale of its kind.
...
A piece priced at $1.1m (£0.53m) did not sell but an iron meteorite from Siberia fetched $123,000 (£60,000).
And a US mailbox hit by a meteorite in 1984 sold for $83,000"
