Speaking of Hidden Treasures, is the Vatican meteorite collection ever
displayed for the public? I think I read somewhere that this is the largest
private collection of meteorites in the world...

Off topic, and somewhat rhetorical, I wonder why the RC church would have
such a huge collection of items which contradicts their doctrine that the
universe is only 6,000 to 10,000 years old...

For a list of the largest collections go to this site:
       _http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/meteorite-collections.htm_
(http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/meteorite-collections.htm)

You will notice that the Vatican's collection is nowhere near the top.
 
As for your second question,
Excellent question! Sorry, but I don't have an answer.
