TAPANULI TENGAH, KOMPAS.TV – Josua Hutagalung (33) appeared to have suffered a stroke of luck when a meteorite struck the roof of his home in early August. The reason is that this meteorite is in fact highly valued by collectors and researchers. Josua suddenly became a millionaire.
The man from Sitahan Barat Hamlet, Satahi Nauli Village, Kolang District, Central Tapanuli was initially contacted by a weather rock expert living in Bali named Jared Collins. Jared contacted Josua through Facebook Messenger.
“Caucasians, yes, his name is Jared. He’s the one who sends messages through Facebook Messenger, ”Joshua was quoted as saying by Kompas.com.
Josua said the transaction process for the sale and purchase of the meteorite occurred about three weeks after the stone was found.
Quoted from the Daily Star, Jared admitted he was looking for the stone because a man named Jay Piatek, who is a physician and a meteor rock collector at the Arizona State University Center for Meteor Studies, asked him. Jay asks Jared to secure the rare meteor.
“(The price negotiations) took place in the middle of the Covid crisis and, frankly, it was a question between buying stones for myself or for collectors who live in the United States,” he said.
Then Jared brought all the money he could collect. Then find Josua to buy the rare stone. However, it turned out that the price negotiations were not easy. According to Jared, Joshua is a canny price negotiator.
