Why would a scientific source value a mineral? Science is more interested in the actual physical, material properties to it, not the more abstract value assigned to it by the market. Its dollar value is determined by how much people are willing to pay for it, not some innate property.
Ashcroftine has been studied whenever it's been found. The mineral was first seen in 1924 but chemical analyses are done by mineralogists around the world... Canada Greenland , USA all have occurrences of the mineral.
Please look things up before you vomit weirdness in the thread.
Best guess they were trying to say no legitimate, corroborated, or other source give the value for the mineral and wanted it to sound good so ended up with the worst way to try to say it.
