MUSEUM
QUALITY METEORITE SPECIMENS |
There isn't much I find more amusing than spurious descriptions on eBay and some commercial websites, describing a pokey little specimen as "Huge!" "Awesome!" and "Museum Quality!" So, when I say "museum quality," I mean it. The meteorites featured on this page are among the best of the best, and would grace any major collection. |
