Rare Meteorites Are Now Sought After By The Art Crowd

Holiday shopping for items from the Moon, Mars and the wilds of outer
space is still possible for those open to meteoritic stocking stuffers.
Such truly ancient pieces of space rock ? think older than Earth
itself ? are increasingly sought after by hundreds of high-end
collectors looking for natural pieces of sculpture.

Although a plethora of commercial startups are pining for metal riches
from asteroids in the Main Asteroid Belt and beyond, meteorite
collectors here on terra firma now routinely buy and sell these
off-world treasures at auction.??

Christie?s South Kensington Auction House in London is planning their
first catalog sale of meteorites next April. Prices typically range from
around $500 to over $100,000, depending on the size, type of meteorites,
condition and provenance, James Hyslop, the Head of Science & Books at
Christie?s South Kensington, told me.
