Here's a quote from this CBC News article:

"While taking and selling material from meteorites is highly illegal, the 
New York Times reports that a flourishing global market exists online, with 
fragments widely available to anyone in the world."

The name of the article is: "Russian meteor fragments cause 'gold rush' on 
black market"
