Impact Melt Breccia 5.0 gram CALDWELL METEORITE Found in 1961 in Kansas

  
My name is Ruben Garcia - aka MrMeteorite - and I'm a meteorite hunter, dealer, and collector. I've been featured in many books and magazines about meteorites. Publications like Sky and Telescope, Discover, Iguana, Meteorite Times, and even the latest book by O.

Richard and Dorothy Norton, called What's so Mysterious about Meteorites? I've also been featured in such TV shows as, Cash and Treasures, Meteorite Men, Nova Science NOW with Neil deGrasse Tyson, and the United Stats of America - a program all about various statistics - with Sklar Brothers as hosts. Of course, I've also been the subject of newspaper articles all across the country as well as various NPR and BBC radio shows. I include a handwritten (business card size) certificate of authenticity with each specimen. Here's information (from the Meteorite Bulletin) about this particular meteorite.
