Bathurst Observatory Research Facility is not a meteorite dealership, however, we do occasionally have pieces for sale (sometimes fossils for sale as well!) when we update our collection, or have pieces that we have cut off larger masses for study.  Prices on some pieces are negotiable, and are in U.S Dollars!  We accept pay pal payments for purchases, cheques (once cleared) and money orders. (A flat rate of $10 U.S for postage and packaging per purchase for items over 100g or $5.00 U.S postage for items less than 100grams.) I really don't want to become a meteorite dealer, so if there are any dealers out there that want to trade, let me know. (Bulk prices can be negotiated)

We also occasionally get asked to sell items for people or if you would like something in particular, we can generally source it for you.

Funds from the sale of these pieces funds our research and our public meteorite display. 

Please note to use the info@Xbathurstobservatory.com.au email address for meteorite enquiries. Be sure to remove the red X in the address for it to work. Or phone 02 6337 3988. (Overseas, replace the 0 in 02 with 61, but just note our time zone is about 17 hours ahead of U.S time.)

 After some major work, I'm about to post some new and more polished pieces. Perfect for gifts!!

  If you are a collector, I can also trade for pieces if you want to!

(Australian residents can currently consider the U.S dollar and Aussie dollar to be the same)

NEW Meteorites for Sale 

Below are some of the new meteorites that I have for sale. Some are being classified and will receive NWA numbers shortly. The classifications will be provisional and may change slightly once the analysis is completed. They are all from North West Africa.

I also have a batch of small meteorites for only a few dollars each. These will be unclassified, but great for those just wanting an example of a meteorite and don't care about the type it is and not wanting to pay huge amounts.

More new items in the coming days!!!!!!

Other Unclassified but Studied Meteorites

Below are listed some special meteorites. These are ones I have looked at in detail but have decided not to study them further nor to have them officially described. I have as such listed their most likely type and weathering grade, based off my initial examination of them. I would be fairly confident that the descriptions I have given them are accurate. All are either ends or some slices and I have cut and roughly polished them to highlight the interiors. Remember Postage is $5 for less than 100 grams and $10 for more than 100g.
