Speaking of $$$$.
The content below is a post, question, and reply from a thread off of Nat Geo's site. A retired costume designer says they would value the silk around at least $1000.00 per yard. I know anyone can post mis information, but at face value it's an interesting insight to the valuation of this new textile from someone who dealt with fabrics for a living.

I hope they dont mind me referencing their post:

No less than $1000 yd. it depends on how many threads per inch (the weave) , is it dyed or natural color, a lot of factors go into the price. Has it been treated to act as a "garment" fabric.
