Hi Darren, I couldn't agree with you more. I love meteorites just because of what they are.....rocks from space. I love all meteorites. I, like you, wish that everyone had access to tons of meteorites of all kinds....I love all of them. After a year and a half of collecting, my excitement for these rocks has not diminished. Even if I could find hundreds of meteorites surrounding my home here in Arizona, my love for them would remain. I'd like to see a "crash" also. To all of you dealers.....sorry, but that's how I feel.
