Meteorite World Association (MWA)

Verified means something real. MWA members have had their identity confirmed, agreed to the code of ethics below, and carry an MWA number that buyers can look up. The MWA is open to anyone. It works alongside IMCA, not instead of it, so you can show both numbers.

1. I will describe every meteorite I sell or trade honestly: its name, classification, mass, and whether it is officially classified or unclassified. 2. I will never knowingly sell a fake, a meteor-wrong, or a misrepresented specimen, and I will refund a buyer in full if a specimen I sold turns out not to be what I said it was. 3. I will disclose known provenance, treatments (cutting, etching, stabilising, repairs) and any doubts I have. 4. I will respect landowners, park rules, and the laws of the country where a meteorite was found, and I won't sell material I know was taken illegally. 5. I will respect the 30-day gate and other hunters' private find data on Meteorite World, and never republish gated coordinates. 6. I will treat buyers, sellers, hunters and scientists with respect, keep my word on deals, and ship what I sold, when I said I would. 7. I accept that Meteorite World can suspend or revoke my MWA membership and number if I break this code.

Code version 2026-1.

Affiliation badges

Show you're a member of IMCA, the Meteoritical Society or the AMS, or that you're a working scientist (the big “S”). Badges only appear after we've checked them. IMCA numbers are matched against IMCA's public member list; the others start with manual sign-off. You can use Meteorite World's badge or upload your own image. Please don't upload the official IMCA or Meteoritical Society logos — those are their trademarks.

IMCA

Meteoritical Society

Scientist
Working scientist / researcher

Had a bad deal?

Open the seller's profile or listing and use Report → Bad deal. Reports against MWA members go straight to the top of our queue. Meteorite World never handles payments for marketplace sales, so refunds are between buyer and seller. MWA members have agreed to refund misrepresented specimens.
