I think their take is kind of questionable. It may be more valuable to science but its monetary value is almost certainly less than gold.
The writing is at morning program levels of goofiness; it's jarring. At 17 kg this meteorite would be worth over a million USD if it was gold. It's like the writer is taking a piss at the poor guy who hoped to get some money out of it.
