Here is the group that I created and run with my co-admin, Pat Brown:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/meteorites.tektites.impactites/

We are a very active and fun group, and there are ample opportunities
to learn and to buy/sell material. As Martin said, FB is not for
everyone, but hope you will come join me and over 650 of your friends.
:-)

Best,

Mendy
