METEORITES, LLC: ABOUT US |
My great interest in meteorites, paleontology and natural history has taken me from the southern end of South America, to the desolate northern tip of Siberia, and to over forty other countries. My adventures have been recorded in numerous published articles, and my writing and photography have appeared in Astronomy magazine, Sky & Telescope, Wired magazine, The Explorer's Journal, Meteorite magazine, Rock & Gem, Geotimes, Lapidary Journal, Seed, Meteoryt (Poland), Reader's Digest, Tucson Showguide, TIMA (Japan), The Village Voice, New York Press, and many other national and international publications. Please see my Bibliography of Published Works for further information. I am currently at work on a memoir about my adventures as a meteorite hunter. "Aerolite" is an archaic, rarely-used English word for meteorite. I was born in New York City, but grew up in England, and called Europe home for more than twenty years. I have lived in London, Boston, New York, and the American Southwest. Aerolite Meteorites' mission is to make top quality, affordable meteorites available to collectors and institutions. Meteorite sales from this website go directly towards funding future expeditions and those expeditions, in turn, make new published works and research possible. A question we are often asked is do we have "meteors for sale." Meteors are the shooting stars we see in the night sky. Any part of a meteor that makes it to earth becomes a meteorite, so we actually have "meteorites for sale," not meteors. If you are interested in purchasing an authentic meteorite, please contact me any time by telephone or email. I work with collectors and enthusiasts of all levels. We were all beginners once, and I welcome new collectors! If you have a question, please ask — that's how we all learn. I pride myself on excellent customer service. We ship anywhere in the world, and I make sure every one of my customers is happy. And now, I invite you to explore my website, and begin your own adventure in the world of meteorites. Highlights include our Gallery of Meteorite Photography, Meteorite Sales Catalogue, and our collection of meteorite hunting photos which showcases my best adventure photography. Thank you for your interest in Aerolite Meteorites. We are proud to make
our home Watch the skies! Geoffrey Notkin To learn more about meteorites, please visit Club Space Rock,

METEORITES
ARE THE MOST REMARKABLE THINGS ON OUR PLANET and they are the
only things you can own that are not originally from this planet.
Meteorites are rocks that have fallen to Earth from outer space, and survived
a fiery passage through our atmosphere. They are the remnants of long-dead
planets and asteroids, and most are thought to have originated in the
Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Others may have traveled even
further, their origins lying in distant, unknown points outside our own
solar system. Some meteorites may be all that has survived from the nucleus
of an ancient comet. Others, which contain pre-solar grains, may pre-date
our own planet and even the Solar System itself! As such, they are the
oldest things any human has ever touched, and they carry within them messages
and materials from deep space.

the good fortune to participate in exciting expeditions across much of
the world, in search of meteorites and other natural history treasures.
