Get a meteorite!

SA-31F-11-392x262.jpg


This one is a fragment of the Sikhote Alin meteorite that fell in Russia in 1947.
Apparently 70 tons of material was dropped after it exploded, so there's plenty to go around.

The fragments that you can buy cost around $3/gram. Just do a Google search and there are several sites that sell them. Make sure the dealer you buy from is registered with the IMCA (International Meteorite Collectors Association), so you can make sure they are reputable.

Also, if you get an iron meteorite, make sure you oil it regularly so it doesn't rust.
