Do you carry a meteorite in your pocket regularly?
If yes, what is your favorite piece to carry?

Well I carry it occasionally, but it's usually on my keyboard at home.
I bought it from Marty Tippmann (name ring a
bell?). He bought a bunch of them
to size, polished and etched with Widmanstätten
crystallization very evident, for
a entrepreneur, that wanted to mount them on golf
ball heads (drivers, I think).
The guy figured since they were denser than Terran Iron, they would transfer
more energy to the ball and it would go further.
Well, after Marty showed him the $1500 worth
of cut (to his specs.) and etched items,
he said they were to narrow and refused delivery.
So I bought two for $15 ea., one for
my now ex-girlfriend and one for me and had our names inscribed on them.

I don't remember what 'fall' they are from, but
maybe someone out there has a thought on that?
