ARE METEORITES VALUABLE?
YES Meteorites are rarer, and more difficult to find than gold, platinum, diamonds, or even emeralds. They are the remnants of other worlds: long-vanished asteroids, planets, or possibly comets that have fallen to Earth. They are valued both by collectors and scientists. Most meteorites burn up in the atmosphere as meteors, or fall into oceans, ice caps, or dense forests, and are lost forever. Those few that survive, and are recovered, are genuine travelers from space and a link to the origins of the universe. Unless you happen to be an astronaut, owning a meteorite is the only way to touch the cosmos. A quality meteorite is an important and unique collectible. With proper care it will last many lifetimes, and inspire and amaze its owners down the generations.
