I want to bring two iron meteorites, one a Campo of 10 kgs., the other
a Gibeon of 4 kgs., to Costa Rica from Miami on American Airlines. I
would never check them and take a chance they might disappear. I would
carry them on the plane in a small suitcase.


Are these prohibited items? How do dealers flying around the planet to
shows ship their rocks?


Thanks for any and all that have experience with this and respond.
