The original meteorite is already a cosmic work of art, a rock transformed when it journeyed through space and then sculpted by the Earth's atmosphere and terrestrial impact. Part of the real meteorite would make a fine art installation on the ISS. It might be more original and interesting to transform a piece of a meteorite into another art form/shape rather than a just duplicate.

If I remember correctly, about 20 years ago (do not remember which mission) Tom Jones brought a meteorite (do not remember what it was) up in the Shuttle. It may have been the same flight that he brought a Zuni Fetish up (and back).
