AGA’s multi-faceted learning opportunities include conferences, webinars, career forums, and celebrity interviews.
This talk will provide an overview of the history of the meteorite market, jewelry applications of meteorites, and what to be on the lookout for — and what to avoid.
In the mid-1990s, Darryl Pitt created the Macovich Collection of Meteorites, which led to the curation of the first meteorite-only auctions at Bonhams, Heritage, Christie’s, and Sotheby’s. Among those who’ve acquired specimens with a Macovich provenance are Paul Allen, Steven Spielberg, Saud bin Muhammed Al Thani, Jerry Bruckheimer, and James Taylor. Macovich specimens are also in The Smithsonian, American Museum of Natural History, The Natural History Museum (London), and the Academy of Sciences in Moscow and Beijing.
