Description: My name is Ruben Garcia - aka MrMeteorite - and I’m a meteorite hunter, dealer, and collector. I began my meteorite adventures in 1998 and since then I have found many thousands of meteorites as well purchased and sold many thousands more. I’ve been featured in many books and magazines about meteorites. Publications like Sky and Telescope, Discover, Iguana, Meteorite Times, and even the latest book by O. Richard and Dorothy Norton, called “What’s so Mysterious about Meteorites?” I’ve also been featured in such TV shows as, Cash and Treasures, Meteorite Men, Nova Science NOW with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and the United Stats of America - a program all about various statistics - with Sklar Brothers as hosts. Of course, I’ve also been the subject of newspaper articles all across the country as well as various NPR and BBC radio shows. You can bid with confidence since everything I sell is guaranteed to be exactly as listed. I include a handwritten (business card size) certificate of authenticity with each specimen. If you have a question, please feel free to send a message before bidding.
