Count my wife in. She loves them and often brings them up in her own conversations with others. She seems just as excited to go to Tucson again - Weird (but very cool)! My mother and mother-in-law also love coming over and staring at the collection cabinets. All of the women at my work have purchased micros of lunar meteorites for themselves and to give out for Christmas. Maybe it's a Washington state thing :)
Collecting meteorites is such a rare and dynamic hobby that I usually won't mention it around people I have just met. The truth is that the majority of people cannot conceive the ability to own something from space. Of course, many people cannot truly conceive how much one trillion dollars is either.

My girlfriend loves them. She found her first on Ivanpah a few years ago and it was a fresh oriented beauty. This forever hooked her on these strange objects from space. It is sometimes difficult to talk about meteorites in public or around women as some may think you are crazy. We were once cut-off after just one beer for talking about crazy things like owning moon rooks. We were told to leave a bar in a small town in Eastern Washington for using terms like kilograms, cutting lose and space in general. It is interesting to note that two drunk patrons were allowed to stay even though they were in a vehement argument about Steve Austin's bionics and how much they really cost. One of them thought that the six million dollar figure was too much while the other thought the Bionic parts were really grown on a farm.
