Hello All,
I came into meteorites from an astronomical background. I started collecting
meteorites, moldavites, tektites, and impactites in the early 1980s. First
purchase was a moldavite, then followed an Australasian tektite, and soon after
a small, etched Mundrabilla slice. I soon had a hun
Hello List,
For me it was back in 1989. I owned an art gallery in Tucson at the time so, I
would go into Bob Haag's room at the Desert Inn during the Tucson Gem Show to
buy meteorites. That was a sight to behold. Bob had the entire room blacked out
like in outer space with directional lighting

I think I started actively collecting around '97 or '98, but I'm not entirely
sure anymore. I started to really become passionately interested in the
science in around 2001. At one time, I basically read the entire met list
archive for want of other literature. Killgore, Haag, Anne Black and
Hello List,
For me it was 1997, I remember pining over the NEMS catalog for hours
and making lists of my dream locations. My first piece was a 107 gram
Gibeon slice, which I still treasure today. Looking back it is
amazing how that simple $80 purchase has completely changed my life,
so many more
Greetings,
Great Topic John!!
I technically started my collection in the mid 1960's with a visit
to Meteor(ite) Crater. I was hoping to buy an actual iron meteorite.
You could only buy shale, so I bought several on a square card that
had a purplish/red color with a fireball trail and meteori
own. It has been a very interesting journey.

Hi John,
Jim and I were active before this but '95 & '96 is when the Internet
started taking off and the first meteorite websites were born. I think
Eric Twelker was the first with The Meteorite Marketplace.
Can't believe 2016 will be 20 years...

I started collecting meteorites in the 1980's. I also recall getting my 1st
Peekskill meteorite
about 3 weeks after it hit the car, so would of been in 1992.

I too started my meteorite journey in 1996. A few here may remember the late
Robert Szep who was a real character and who loved meteorites. I purchased a
nice El Hammami slice off him which is still in my collection. I think it was
just a few years later when I purchased a nice Allende indivi
Hi to all,

Ron Ferrell.
