Say a good size meteorite lands in my back yard, is it worth anything? Are there different types of space rock that are worth more than others? Do scientists look for certain types of metals/other solids from outspace?
No, I don’t have anything like that, I’ve just always wondered.
The August issue of “Astronomy” was a special issue covering meteorites/“rocks from space.” I think the September issue is now out, so you may have missed a chance at this one, unless you can order a back issue.
It was a great source of info! Covered some pricing, including Mars and Moon meteorites. Had a profile of a big collector/dealer who may have been the person clairobscur was referring to.
