About Me
My name is Eric Wichman. I’ve been a meteorite hunter and collector since Aug. 2007. I buy, sell, trade, collect, and study meteorites as well as supply meteorites to scientific and educational institutions around the world, including museums, observatories and astronomy clubs.

I do in the hopes it will further the science of meteoritics and ultimately our knowledge and understanding of our universe. I am a Meteorite Hunter and Researcher and have been an official meteorite addict since August of 2007. Today I hunt meteorites, new meteorite falls, and research the science behind meteorites.

Meteorites USA is all about meteorites, meteorite research, meteorite hunting, and meteorite collecting: Want to know how to find a meteorite? How about where meteorites are located?

What Started It All
My Meteorite Obsession: It all started way back in August of 2007 when my girlfriend bought me my first meteorite. From there I started my first meteorite site MeteoriteWatch.com to showcase my meteorite and new found hobby. The hobby turned into and addiction and the addiction turned into a full blown obsession!

The Popularity Of Meteorites
Meteorites are ever increasing in popularity. Over the last few years more and more people are realizing the potential of meteorites. Intrinsically speaking meteorites are one of the very few things on this planet that ALL people can relate to. I don’t know anyone that isn’t facinated by a meteorite once they hold one in their hand. There’s something about meteorites that just make you “want” to hold it, and it give you some sense of knowledge.

Meteorites As Art
Many people view meteorites with an artistic eye. Meteorites are beautiful pieces of art from space and some sell for massive amounts of money. As meteorites grow in popularity so will this area of the industry. Bonhams’ New York natural history auctions off meteorites for as much as $105,000.00. This is a huge amount of money for a rock from space.

The Demand For Meteorites Is High
As the popularity of meteorites grows, so too does the price. The are only so many meteorites on the planet, as more and more people buy meteorites, the supply will dwindle, demand will grow and the price for your average iron, or pallasite, will rise substantially. These treasured rocks from space are highly sought after by collectors and dealers alike and the price is only going to rise as more and more people buy them up. Take a look at the latest fall in Carancas, Peru. This chondrite is extremely valuable. Meteorite hunters and dealers traveled from all over the world to pick up pieces of this meteorite before it was all grabbed up. Now these specimens go for as much as $100 per gram or more. There are very few pieces of this meteorite available.
