The big problem with this is that unless the GIA (Gemological Institute
of America) could by testing certify that a particular stone was from
space instead of Arizona, Mexico, Egypt or wherever, there would always
be a problem with fraud. Bad money drives out good and that would
certainly go for space jewels also. It would only take a few tainted
deals to kill the whole market.
