This wonderful collectors' set features twelve different specimens, of which ten are genuine meteorites and two are impactites (impact glasses created by ancient meteorite events on Earth). All of the major meteorite types are represented—stone, iron, and stony-iron—and some very rare classes, such as the famous Norton County aubrite.

The twelve pieces are each enclosed within individual clear plastic specimen boxes, and housed in attractive padded display case, with hinged top. A laminated full color insert describes each of the specimens, including its classification, and location and date of find. Each individual specimen box is individually lettered on the bottom, and that letter corresponds to a listing on the color insert, so specimens can be removed and studied without getting mixed up. And the Visitors From Space set comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and an exclusive photo, both personally signed by Geoff of Meteorite Men, and one of Geoff's Aerolite Meteorites stickers. A great collectible for science enthusiasts and Meteorite Men fans of all ages. Visitors From Space is also a fantastic introduction to the amazing world of meteorites and meteorite collecting.

ABOUT THE METEORITE MEN

Geoff of Meteorite Men is a meteorite specialist, photographer and science writer and his meteorite hunting articles and photographs have appeared in Meteorite magazine, Astronomy, Rock & Gem, Sky & Telescope, Wired, Geotimes, Seed, Sci Q, and many other national and international publications. He is also a fellow of the world famous Explorer's Club.

Steve of Meteorite Men stunned the scientific community in the fall of 2005 when he discovered a 1,430-lb pallasite meteorite buried in a cornfield near Brenham, Kansas. It is the largest of its type ever found in North America. Pallasites are unique among meteorites as they are composed of iron-nickel and olivine crystals (the gemstone peridot).

The two friends have made documentaries about meteorite hunting for Discovery, National Geographic, The History Channel, PBS, and The Travel Channel as well as co-hosting Science Channel's Meteorite Men adventure series.
