Every year since the 1970s, governments have sponsored expeditions to retrieve meteorites in Antarctica. However, it has only been since the 1990s that warm deserts like the Sahara have revealed their remarkable discovery potential. Our numerous finds are certainly witness to this fact. Through systematic and dedicated searching, we have found thousands of meteorites – many of which have attracted serious scientific interest.

In addition to the Lunar and Martian specimens from various space exploration missions, Lunar and Martian meteorites arrive on Earth from unexplored, uncharted regions of the Moon and Mars, and inspire extensive research.

Interest in such exceptional meteorites is on the rise in both the scientific community and the general public, as fascination for all things related to Space, particularly Mars and the Moon, goes sky-high.

Our Scientific Roots

Over the last eight years, we’ve organized expeditions to find and collect new meteorites in the warm deserts of the world, primarily the Sahara and Oman. Our expeditions have led us to discover several thousand new meteorites, known by the names Sahara and Dhofar. They have been the object of extensive scientific research in the world’s largest universities, research institutes and museums in Europe, the United States and Japan. Our finds are exhibited in the most prestigious collections in the world – the Natural History Museum in London, the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, Das Naturhistorische Museum Wien in Vienna, Museum Für Naturkunde in Berlin, American Museum of National History in New York, Chicago Field Museum in Chicago.

We are members of the Meteoritical Society, the official organization governing the classification and reference of new meteorites affiliated with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Arkansas, in the United States. The Meteoritical Society is also responsible for the scientific journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science, entirely devoted to meteorite research. All our meteorites are recognized and classified by this organization and furthermore, we own and have legal rights to every meteorite listed on our site.

As members of the Meteoritical Society, we guarantee the authenticity of each meteorite we sell.

Enjoy these genuine rocks from space!
