[meteorite-list] Your First Meteorite - When did you Get It

[Shawn Alan]

Hello Listers,
 
My first meteorite was a Sikhote- Alin at the end of December of 2009, I bought it off of JTV.com

Before then, I did not know that people could own meteorites, I thought only scientists and the rich could only afford them. To make the story short, I told myself that I was only going to own one meteorite, but after watching a show called Things that fall from Space, I was done for when they featured 2008TC3 aka Almahata Sitta. And look at me now, I am enjoying every minute of collecting meteorites with everyone on the List.
