We are an international group of meteorite collectors consisting of amateurs and professionals from dozens of countries. Our mission can be summed up in one word:

"Authenticity"

If IMCA members wish to sell or trade meteoritic specimens, those items must be 'actually and exactly what is claimed' (Merriam-Webster-Dictionary). Our members adhere to the highest standards of meteorite identification and proper labeling practices. The membership maintains this high standard by monitoring each other's activities for accuracy. It is every IMCA member's responsibility and pleasure to offer help and assistance to fellow members in order to ensure specimens are genuine. A dignified and private 'forum' (mailing list) is provided for members to ask questions and engage in discussions.

Non-members can also benefit from our expertise. Visit the Meteorite Information page for articles and videos on a variety of meteorite-related topics. You will also find links to informative external web sites. Before jumping into buying and selling meteorites on eBay, Facebook, dealer sites, or the local flea market get some education from the IMCA.

Another invaluable resource is the Members List where you can see who is a member and who is not.

Who can join?

Persons dedicated to honest business practices! Regular Membership requires modest dues and includes all the privileges of membership (voting, use of IMCA member logos, potential office or committee position, & more). Please see the Join the IMCA Page for more information.

If a serious complaint against a member arises and cannot be resolved one-on-one, the difficulty can be reported for action by the IMCA Board on the complaints page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
