Meteorites for Sale - Langheinrich Meteorites

METEORITE AUCTION AT THE TUCSON GEM AND MINERAL SHOW, 2006

Founded by prominent collector Allan Lang in 1971, the R.A. Langheinrich Meteorite Collection is one of the foremost private collections in the world. Comprising hundreds of witnessed falls; unique historic documented meteorites — many with original museum numbers and specimen cards; large irons with unusual character; and lunar and planetary material, the collection is internationally recognized as an important reference and research resource. Many specimens were acquired by the collection through institutional trades with the world's major museums.

Much of of the Langheinrich Meteorite Collection is viewable online in the R.A. Langheinrich Museum of Meteorites, and private viewings can be arranged by appointment. Occasionally, specimens from the collection are made available for sale to private collectors and institutions. The specimens shown below will be offered at auction on Saturday, February 4th, 2006 during the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
