Why not invest in a meteorite ..... but not this one perhaps !

If you happen to have the odd £10 million (yes you read it right !) to spare here is an unusual way to spend it:

Well at least the seller has 100% positive feedback !.

Edit: - Just asked SWMBO to put it on my Xmas list. She said, we've got loads of it lying round in the garden

At a market the other day I saw someone flogging what he claimed to be chondrites - looked like any other rock to me - and charging £8 for them. I'd love to own a meteorite but how would I know it's genuine?

You can buy them from a museum shop, I think.

$10,000,000 . . .

Id hate to see the ebay fees on that . . . .

I collect meteorites (that's why I spotted this ad !). I've got around 30 specimens but I always get mine from established dealers and members of IMCA - International Meteorite Collectors Association. Funnily enough though e.bay is an important outlet for them worldwide - but you do need to know what you are buying and who you are buying from. It's taken me 3 years of study to get the confidence to start buying them.
