A quick search on eBay will reveal meteorites from a variety of planets and star systems. Of course, avoid any meteorites from Algol, because all planets in that system have a law prohibiting the export of meteorites to Earth. And the Algol authorities don't screw around. If they catch you removing meteorites, they will confiscate the specimens, impound your vessel, and deport you to the nearest neutral star system. If it's not your first offense, they have been known to hand down sentences of 50 lashes with the neural whip. As for planetary meteorites, I prefer Martians because their government is no longer extant and their laws no longer apply to collectors.
