Richard and List,

The women on JTV.com this am selling the iron meteorites goes by the name Dawn. I have been watching JTV.com for about 10 years and they are the leaders in jewelry and gem stones. Its funny you asked about meteorites being sold on TV because in early December I was watching her sell those meteorites and a week later I bought my first meteorite from JTV.com (Sikhote Alin). If you go to their website you can watch them live and they also?have a section where they sell minerals and within that section is where they?sell meteorites.

It wouldn't surprise me that they would sell meteorites because they are ahead of the curve when it comes the gem market. I bet If some dealers with?have alot of meteorites and I mean alot, contacted JTV.com could?sell a shit load?of?meteorites from common falls and could see them selling on JTV.com. And with?the Meteorite Men show??I can?see in the next few months sales for common meteorites going up and more?people?wanting to own a meteorite. ?

I was flipping channels late last night and came across the image of a meteorite in a Riker on the screen. It caught my attention so I watched for a while. It was on the channel called "Gem TV".

The meteorite was a etched slice of Campo, about 21g listed on the label. Asking price was ~$30.

Next up was a group of three meteorites, another Campo, a slice or end cut of uNWA and a slice of Canyon Diablo. This grouping went for ~$40. The last thing offered was a Sikote shrapnel, also going for about $30. The "sizes may vary" for all three offerings...

I was chuckling at the comments made by the sales girl about going to the "Science places" the word for which suddenly dawned on her, museums, where one can go and see and touch large meteorites on display and related a story about her waking up at 4am to see a meteor shower.

I don't watch these home shopping channels, so can't say if this is the first time any of them have offered meteorites for sale, but this was the first time I've seen them being sold on TV.

A new development because of the Meteorite Men program?
