Meteorites are pieces of astronomical objects, usually made from iron or silicate material, that enter the atmosphere and hit the earth. Tektites are generally believed to be ejected material from the meteoritic impact. In both cases, these otherworldly rocks are the kind of ETs that you actually want to hang with.
Browse our selection of meteorites (stony and metallic types) and tektites (including beautiful Moldavite pendants), and collect one for yourself, or purchase for a unique gift. Also be sure to browse our selection of books on meteorites.
