Mile High Meteorites was established in 1996, one of the first meteorite businesses on the internet and soon became the place where beginning and experienced meteorite collectors could purchase rare and exotic meteorites. We offer many types of meteorites for sale, including: iron meteorites, stony-iron (pallasite) meteorites, achondrite meteorites, meteorites from the Moon and Mars, and historic meteorites with documentation. Many of the meteorites we sell are used for meteorite jewelry, meteorite knives, inlays within dinosaur bone, and other artisanal forms.
Mile High Meteorites founder and president Matt Morgan, oversees all operations of the business. He spent the last three decades building one of the most trustworthy and respected meteorite businesses on the internet.
