As a geologist and someone who has collected meteorites for many years, I can guarantee the authenticity of all of my specimens. Unfortunately, as there is no official governing body for the sale of meteorites, they are an unregulated item meaning that any certificate of authenticity that comes with a meteorite is worth the paper it is printed on and nothing more. It has no binding value for insurance or legal purposes. It is a feel-good assurance from the dealer that the specimen is authentic and as-described. You can frame it and display it with the specimen, but it has no value in and of itself.

For those reasons, I cannot give you a certificate of authenticity. I can however guarantee you as a Geologist and meteorite dealer who has been studying and collecting meteorites for many years that all of my specimens are genuine.

The specimen will be sent via a tracked and signed for service with full insurance.
