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 two decades building one of the most trustworthy and respected meteorite businesses on the internet.
We have served the collecting and museum community -worldwide- through sales, exchanges, donations, and consultation. We thank all of our past customers and welcome all our new ones to the experience of meteorite collecting.

Ghubara is an underappreciated meteorite-It contains trapped gases related to the solar-wind and rock fragments of different chondritic types. From 2018 study of Ghubara, the scientists concluded "we favor a scenario in which a large impact event on L-chondrite asteroid 470 Ma ago caused release, mobilization, fractionation and redistribution of accumulated gases on the Ghubara parent body. The Ghubara breccia was formed at that event and occluded trapped gases into the voids."

The Tucson Ring is one of the most well-known iron meteorites in the world, primarily because of its exotic circular shape with a hole. However, it's also well-known for its storied history dating back to the mid 1800s. Originally reported by Jose Velasco of Sonora, Mexico, in 1845, he describes a mountain pass in the Sierra de la Madera range where masses of pure iron were found at the base of the mountains. In ~1850, the original "Ring" mass was taken to Tucson for use as an anvil by the garrison blacksmith. The additional "Carelton" mass was found later and also used for an anvil! In 1852, pieces of the iron were analyzed and determined to be of meteoritic origin.
