Speaking of Hidden Treasures, is the Vatican  meteorite collection ever 
displayed for the public? I think I read somewhere  that this is the largest 
private collection of meteorites in the  world...

Off topic, and somewhat rhetorical, I wonder why the RC church  would have 
such a huge collection of items which contradicts their doctrine  that the 
universe is only 6,000 to 10,000 years  old...

For a list of the largest collections go to this site:
       _http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/meteorite-collections.htm_ 
(http://www.jensenmeteorites.com/meteorite-collections.htm) 

You will notice that the Vatican's collection is nowhere near the top. 
 
As for your second question,   
Excellent question!  Sorry, but I don't have an answer.
