Meteorite fragments found in Russia's Urals region

11. They are available - I used to sell some for awhile

I was never a real "player" in that market but I had a friend who was - so I handled some from time to time. The most common iron-nickle meteorites came from a massive fall that happened over two thousand years ago in South America. I dunno current pricing - but I was buying quais wholesale at $60 a pound. The more exotic meteorites (with internal "space gems" etc) are also very available. You really should buy one. A seven pounder is quite impressive - they feel much much heavier because they trick your mind - they are so dense that you expect a piece to be much lighter than it really is when you go to pick one up.
