Space rocks wanted: Cash paid

Article Abstract:

Meteorites have become prime targets for high-end curio dealers at auctions forcing scientists to take radical steps and set up a centre at the University of Arizona to buy the samples on the open market as they aim to preserve as many of the finds as possible for scientific analysis. The centre will also buy collections from private individuals and samples will be stored in a climate-controlled facility and made available to scientists who want to study them.
