I use the term "meteorite" to describe the stuff I wish that I had access to
arbitrarily large amounts of, but of course I don't require that it pass through
the Earth's atmosphere (in a destructive way) first. As much as I love a nice,
fresh fusion crust, the big hunks could be straight off the asteroid. :-)
Wouldn't paneling your walls in L 3.0 or H 3.0 look great? Or a coffee table
made from a single slab of etched (and sealed for moisture, of course) iron?
Forget stained glass windows, have very thin pallasite windows! (Of course, I'd
still want one of these tables http://www.fossilhunter.co.uk/id12.html). Lunar
sample? I call dibs on this one:

And as long as I have that hypthetical space ship, I could still toss a few
meteorites into the atmosphere to get that fusion crust look! (Okay, maybe I
should use Titan's atmosphere-- tossing rocks at the Earth might not make me too
popular-- even if I didn't make strangelets, monopoles, and quantum black holes
