Alien Stones from Space !!

Many people have some unique interesting hobbies, one of that is collection of heavenly stones (Meteorite Stones). We can also find a museum at Chicago  called "Garden of Heaven". Garden of Heaven is museum of meteor stones collected from different places and different continents. For some this is business, to hunt for meteor stones and sell at very high price.

So where do these 'Heavenly Rocks' come from?


Meteorite Stone


Most of the meteors belong to Asteroid belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but few of them belonged to Moon and Mars!! Sometimes when a massive Asteroid hits surface of Mars, small surface objects on mars bounces and leaves gravity of Mars. When such objects are captured by Earth's gravity, they enter into Earth's atmosphere. Similarly different objects arrive from Moon. This is possible because Mars has weak gravity and moon being closest to Earth with very weak gravity.

Mechanic Farmer is a well known name of Meteorite hunter.
Few heavenly rocks found are:

1.  E-Mevak found in 1922 in Chile (Opening particles).
2. Aahumda found in Mexico in 1909, kept in Garden of Heaven museum, Chicago.
Axtel found in Texas in 1943, it is Carbonesius Contract.
Martian rock named Sapt Al Uhaymir 008 found in 1999 from Oman.
5. Another Martian Meteorite rock Indark found from Azerbaijan in 1958.
6. Park forest found in Illinois in USA in 2003.
7. Homstick found in 1857.
8. Crab Orchid found in 1887, Tennesse, USA.

Many meteorite rocks found in Antarctica can be easily recognized as meteor rocks because these are found above the snowbed. Antarctica and Arctic region are hot favourite destinations for meteor rock hunting.

These rocks are rated in market depending upon how old is the rock, what the rock is made up of, weight, origin of rock (moon,mars or any Asteroid),etc.
There are passionate buyers who buy these rocks as a hobby or for their museum collection.
