Hi Listees!

I have reposted an old article that I wrote about collecting
meteorites.  It's written with newbies in mind and it addresses some
of the fundamental aspects of meteorites - their origin, their
composition, the major types, and how to care for them.  It tries to
answer the basic questions we hear all of the time -

"How do we know it's a meteorite?"

"How do we know it's really from the Moon or Mars?"

"Where does one buy meteorites?"

"How do I store or display my meteorite?"

I am open to any suggestions or corrections to be included in future
edits of this article.

You can read the article here - http://www.galactic-stone.com/pages/meteorites

There original article has some photos in it as well, and I am working
on getting those uploaded tonight.

Best regards and clear skies,

MikeG
