Hi Listees! I have reposted an old article that I wrote about collecting meteorites. It's written with newbies in mind and it addresses some of the fundamental aspects of meteorites - their origin, their composition, the major types, and how to care for them. It tries to answer the basic questions we hear all of the time -
"How do we know it's a meteorite?" "How do we know it's really from the Moon or Mars?" "Where does one buy meteorites?" "How do I store or display my meteorite?" I am open to any suggestions or corrections to be included in future edits of this article. You can read the article here - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/meteorites There original article has some photos in it as well, and I am working on getting those uploaded tonight.
