Hola Kevin,
I think Chris is on the right tracks in answering your question with
meteoriticist, and can add to capture the principle motivation of collector

But if you come from the rock
I don't know about collectors, but a person who studies meteorites (which I
would hope describes most collectors) is called a meteoriticist.
Chris

Well, after the feedback, I can either choose one of my own, since I have
always liked the term Sky Stones for meteorites, that might make me a Sky

or I can choose between being a phile or a cist.
