Where to buy genuine meteorites/tektites

[Russ59]

I have a small rock collection - some I collected, some handed down from family members - and it's just dawned on me that I have no tektites! So the natural thing to do was to look on eBay and I found there are lots of them ranging from a few dollars up to hundreds of $$. I'd probably only want to spend no less than $100 for 2, 3 or 4 small pieces but I'll see where the interest takes me.

Has anyone had any experience on buying tektites on eBay? (no generallised good/bad stories or opinions abut eBay, please)

Are there any other places to buy them that members have had good experiences with.

Remember not wanting to start a massive collection, just to add a few curiosities to my humble collection.

Cheers,

Russ

My buddy Geoff sells his Meteorites here - http://aerolite.org/

You can buy them safely off Ebay, just make sure that the seller is a member of the International Meteorite Collectors Association ( IMCA ). They will either have the logo on the page or state their membership number.

You know Geoff jjj?
It'd be great to spend some time and have a chat with him.

If you are not opposed to ordering them from the US then I have used http://www.meteorites-for-sale.com/

We've known each other online for a year or so. But in May we finally met up in person, and was introduced to his lovely fiance Elizabeth. :)
