Each meteorite is an unique object, that brings various information regarding our solar system down to the earth. Usual this scientific valuable material is available only in some Natural History and Geological Museums, Geoscience Institutes and a few private collections. It is a duty of the Meteoritic Community (dealers, collectors and scientists) to work close together and not to split into private and scientific sub-communities. The results of everyone's work, scientist, collector or dealer depends on good co-operation, and leads to detailed as well as global knowledge about our solar system.
During the 10th Intenational Meteorite Fair again four meteorites will be raffled among the visitors of the fair!
