Description

My name is Ruben Garcia aka MrMeteorite and I’m a meteorite dealer/collector.   I have dealt in meteorites since 1998 and it’s been a wonderful ride.
I’ve been featured in many books and magazines about meteorites, 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 appeared in such TV shows as, Meteorite Men, Nova Science NOW, Cash and Treasures, and the United Stats of America with Hosts “The Sklar Brothers”. Of course, I’ve also been the subject of newspapers all across the country and various NPR and BBC radio shows.
I typically sell to high profile museums and universities all over the world. Everything I sell here is guaranteed just as if I were selling to a museum.
