Most museums and institutions who recognize rarity and value now integrate world-class NWA specimens into their collections.? The Royal Ontario Museum comes to mind who has an amazing collection.? I think the ratio will favor hot-desert finds soon.? Their beauty rarity and value cannot be ignored.? A meteorite has no control where it lands.? A meteorite is a still a meteorite once a meteoroid touches the Earth.? We are fortunate that the Sahara desert preserves them well.


Kind Regards,


Adam
