With some of the larger or more well known places stopping public testing, I would like to offer up a suggestion for those that want to have meteorites tested.
Try to contact your local state colleges for those in the USA. Even smaller colleges may have a geology lab that can work on meteorites, but often do not have the funding to do so. Be kind, give them a little more then required and you may end up with a great resource for having meteorites tested. Thats how I did it when I could not find anyone who wanted to test my material.
