I reiterate: Don't collect meteorites just because you expect them to make
a load of money. If you also love them for themselves (scientifically,
beauty, the "neato" factor, whatever) you will never be disappointed in
your collection. I know my meteorites are the niftiest nonmoving thing in
our house.
