HOW TO BUY A METEORITE
Meteorites are rare and valuable, both to scientists and collectors. Meteorites are less common than gold, platinum, diamonds, or even emeralds! Museum quality meteorites can cost thousands of dollars, but at Aerolite Meteorites we believe in offering quality specimens to suit all budgets. All pieces pictured on this page are priced at under $200. Every meteorite we sell comes with a hand made specimen ID card and is guaranteed 100% authentic and as described. Please see our contact and ordering page for more information. The scale cube pictured measures 1 cm.

SIKHOTE-ALIN (INDIVIDUALS)
Iron Meteorite (IIAB)
As a collector and enthusiast, Sikhote-Alin is easily my favorite meteorite. The Sikhote-Alin shower of 1947 took place in a remote area of eastern Russia and was the largest single meteoritic event documented in modern times. It is an extremely rare witnessed fall iron, and many individuals display the classic characteristics of meteorites: regmaglypts, orientation, rollover lips, and even impact pits from in-flight collisions with other meteorites! Sikhote-Alin is an extremely stable and affordable meteorite. Once relatively available in the marketplace, intensive hunting at the fall site has resulted in the area being completely hunted out, and no new specimens now make it into collectors' hands. What we have now is what we have.

BASSIKOUNOU
H5 Witnessed fall, Bassikounou, Hodh Ech Chargui, Mauritania. October 16, 2006
After a fireball a stone of 3,165 grams was found on October 16 near the small town of Bassikounou in Mauritania. A search of the surrounding area, numerous additional stones were found, most of them quite small. Bassikounou is extremely fresh with a weathering grade of 0. Most stones exhibit unusually fine fusion crust, and interesting shapes.

CAMPO DEL CIELO – Campitos
Iron Meteorite (IAB)

"Field of Heaven" is the English translation for this historic, yet affordable meteorite. First discovered in 1576, it is one of the world's oldest documented meteorite finds. In recent years meteorite hunters expanded the strewnfield and located many new specimens. These "new" Campos were found at higher elevations and display much more character than those from the early finds.

I was the first dealer to view the shipping containers when these Campo del Cielos arrived in the United States. I examined hundreds of specimens and these are the very best of the finds from recent years. Although the original Campo del Cielo discovery was made in Chaco province, these campitos (small Campos) are from the more recently discovered area in Formosa province which yielded particularly fine sculpted specimens. Campo del Cielo is the most affordable iron meteorite available to collectors, and these lovely specimens make it possible for anyone to own a genuine piece of outer space.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING LEGALITY AND AVAILABILITY
On January 1, 2008 Argentina implemented a new law prohibiting the exportation of meteorites. All of our Campo del Cielo specimens were legally obtained prior to the enactment of that law. We will not trade in illegally exported meteorite specimens. I regret to say that the Campo del Cielo irons we currently have in stock are all we will ever have. I expect the prices on these excellent, affordable meteorites to rise dramatically in the very near future, so if you are thinking of acquiring one for your collection, now is the time.

HENBURY
Iron Meteorite (IIIAB)
The Henbury iron was discovered in 1931 and is associated with twelve impact craters in central Australia. Henbury irons display one of the best desert patinas of any meteorite—a reddish-crimson color slowly acquired over hundreds of years. The area is now and meteorite hunting is no longer allowed. As a result Henburys have all but disappeared from the marketplace. I filmed at the site while making Season Two of my TV show, Meteorite Men.

NORTHWEST AFRICAN UNCLASSIFIED CHONDRITES – "NWA XXX"
Stone meteorite (H and L chondrites)
These stone meteorites were found in the Saharan Desert in Northwest Africa, likely by nomads. In order to classify them it would be necessary to cut off a section for analysis. Although they are exceedingly rare when compared to terrestrial rocks, these are the most abundant type of meteorite and are referred to as "common chondrites." H and L (designating the amount of metal contained) type chondrites have been already extensively studied, and so these attractive stones have been left intact. Composed largely of spherical grain-like silicate chondrules, these stone meteorites were likely once part of the crust of a planet or large asteroid. Some academics believe that chondrules are older than the solar system!

Good quality complete stones likes those pictured below are very difficult to obtain. Most specimens found in the Sahara today, are small broken fragments.
