A decent article except for this dumb quote:


"For everyone who has every worldly possession, he can actually own 
something from out of this world," Herskowitz said. "Meteorites are the most 
popular, the most highly collectible of all natural history [items]. There 
are more people that collect meteorites than there are that collect fossils, 
dinosaurs, even minerals."


There must be tens of thousands of mineral and fossil collectors for every 
meteorite collector.
