Meteorite hunters in Morocco | Al Jazeera World Documentary

Meteorites may be the only truly extra-terrestrial items it is possible to find, buy or own on Earth.
Their rarity has created a global trade, fed by a fascination with these dark rocks from outer space. Most meteorites on the market come from Morocco, where the inky-black rocks are easier to spot in the arid mountain landscape.
Nomads welcome these "gifts from the sky" and sell them to dealers and researchers.
However, the prices obtained by Moroccan nomads in the High Atlas Mountains are a fraction of those in the fashionable rock and crystal shops in Europe.

They spend more than that on a fart.

When I was a child we always collected very black very shiny irregularly shaped rocks. They had a name for it but I've since forgotten. And the villagers knew they were meteorites but no one was buying them so it was the kids mostly interested in them. We'd say if you placed it on your desk when doing exams you'd pass ! Astaghfirullah of course now I know that was shirk! We'd find them regularly on the village paths but not anymore. I don't know what type of meteorite they were.

The nomads are very humble

[@ibrahimabdi6392]

Can someone give me the contact of or connect to me to the French guy,i know a place to get more stones but not moroco

[@ThorimFlammenbart]

If the other place you mean is Algeria, then it will be very difficult to get them to europe. As a collector I would still be interested to see what you have to offer, though. :)

[@ibrahimabdi6392]

@@ThorimFlammenbart kindly provide ur contact details,it's not Algeria but somewhere in eastern part of continent.

Hi

[@rizkikoumich2858]

Peace be upon you. I am a meteorite. I want to sell. Can anyone buy it?

[@toniventura2985]

So in reality , Shakespear's Romeo and Juliette was stolen from the legend of Ahmed & Fatima .

[@alilamghari7456]

You are very beautiful

[@ElmerOmero1538]

Those 2 guys are thiefs!!! The scientific profesor look so hungry and also his friend , paying nothing for that beautiful mineral . No way!!! Poor people.

[@dmitrysadilenko6771]

Wrong. They paid even more than you can get same matter on the show in Europe. Narrator is wrong as well. In the field it is more expensive then to buy on the show even not counting the expenses for the trip etc. But it is fun and if you are lucky you may get something really rare. Comment from meteorite hunter for over than 20 years.

[@Comptesupprimeeee987]

Yes your right it’s like stealing

[@robertsutton8894]

If they are on Earth they are not extraterrestrial.

[@jueunmusic]

Well they came from another planet and landed on the earth so...

[@mjrashid7654]

Good but the Narrator is boring. Male narrators do better.

[@jueunmusic]

Lol still sexist in 2021. Pls educate yourself

[@maureencleland9278]
