Iron Meteorite
Iron meteorites are among the oldest, and largest, meteorites. They likely originated from the cores of larger, ancient asteroids that no longer exist. They are primarily comprised of a nickel-iron alloy. Meteoritic iron was one of the earliest sources of iron available to early humans. Many ancient tools, weapons, and even jewelry have been found to be crafted of meteoritic iron. Our iron meteorite collectors’ boxes include a variety of notable iron meteorites.

Mars Meteorite
Martian meteorites originate from the planet Mars. The Viking spacecraft that landed on Mars in 1976 produced data that allows us to confirm that meteorites came from Mars. Mars meteorite tend to be fragile and are exceedingly rare—our collectors’ boxes are an convenient and cost-effective option for those looking to own a piece of the Red Planet.
Moon Meteorite
Lunar meteorites are small fragments of Moon rocks that land on Earth as meteorites. The Apollo and Luna missions returned samples from the Moon’s surface, and allow us to verify that lunar meteorites originated from the Moon. The first lunar meteorite was found in Antarctica in 1982. Most lunar meteorites are launched from the Moon by impacts, which, over time, have created the craters that we observe covering much of the Moon’s surface. Our lunar meteorite collectors’ boxes are a great introduction to meteorites from the Moon.
Stone Meteorite
Stone meteorites are among the most common types of meteorites. They likely originated from the outer crust of ancient asteroids. Stone meteorites encompass a wide variety of classifications, including carbonaceous chondrites, which have been found to create water and amino acids. Stone meteorites are incredibly varied, so our collectors’s boxes are a wonderful solution to those curious about different stone classifications.

Stony-Iron Meteorite
Stony-iron meteorite group includes pallasite meteorites and mesosiderite meteorites. Pallasites are among the rarest of the meteorites, and the most captivating, with yellow-green olivine crystals encased in a matrix of nickel-iron.
Mesosiderites are believed to have formed by asteroidal collision, while scientists believe that pallasites formed either via collision or at the core-mantle boundaries of asteroids.
Our collectors’ boxes are an affordable option for those interested in pallasites and mesosiderites.
Tektite
Tektites are natural glasses that form as a result of an asteroid impacting the Earth. They are typically dark in color and have a homogenous composition.
Unlike terrestrial volcanic glasses, tektites lack microliths or phenocrysts and contain virtually no water. Splashform tektites were launched into space and fell back to Earth, traveling through our atmosphere and taking fantastical, aerodynamic shapes in the process.
