About us
Through meteorites, we bring people a real piece of the universe – authentic, beautiful, and with a story of its own. Our mission is to show that meteorites are not just rare collectibles, but fascinating examples of cosmic art that carry billions of years of knowledge.
To fulfill this mission, we have created a modern and interactive meteorite exhibition in one of the world's most advanced planetariums, authored the book Meteorites: Art of the Universe, host lectures, guide visitors in our showroom, and provide meteorites at accessible prices through direct cooperation with finders and suppliers worldwide.

Meteorite Exhibition at the Planetarium
At the Prague Planetarium, we have opened a permanent exhibition called "Meteorites – A Chronicle of the Solar System," which is accessible free of charge to all visitors. Together with Zdeněk Schneider, we are its authors and curators. We didn't want to create just another display case filled with rocks and short labels. We wanted to show visitors meteorites the way we perceive them: as rare witnesses to the birth of our Solar System, as carriers of billions of years of history, and as true art of the universe.
That is why we selected only 8 meteorites. Not because there are few of them, but because each one has a clear purpose in the exhibition. Each represents a different chapter in the evolution of our Solar System and shows visitors something unique about our cosmic origin. The exhibition includes world-class rarities not even found in many museums. And because knowledge should be an experience, not just text on a sign, we added interactive elements: an AI avatar, a meteorite impact simulation, the chance to hold a real asteroid core, and an original flight plan from the Apollo 13 mission signed by Buzz Aldrin.
For Alien Rocks, this exhibition is more than just a display. It is the fulfillment of our mission: to bring the knowledge and beauty of the universe to people so they can truly see it, experience it — and in the case of meteorites, even hold it in their hands.
Book: Meteorites – Art of the Universe
We have poured our experience, knowledge, and fascination into the book Meteorites: Art of the Universe. We believe that the better people understand meteorites, the stronger a connection they form with them.
Showroom and Personal Approach
In our showroom, we do more than just sell meteorites. We guide, explain, show the differences between various types, and help our customers choose a piece that truly resonates with them – whether it’s their first meteorite, a gift, a collector’s item, or an interesting investment piece.
From Meteorite Finders to You
For meteorites to be truly within reach, it’s not enough to just talk about them. You have to know how to find them, verify them, purchase them fairly, and offer them at a price that makes sense.
That is why we work directly with the people who find and recover meteorites in the field – from Africa and South America to Asia. Thanks to personal contacts, bulk purchasing, and by cutting out the long chain of middlemen, we can offer high-quality meteorites at great prices.
We select every meteorite with an emphasis on origin, quality, aesthetics, and authenticity. It’s not just business to us. It’s about ensuring our customers receive genuine pieces of the universe they can trust.
Direct selection of meteorites in Morocco. Personal contacts and sourcing directly at the source allow us to offer customers better prices and a clearer understanding of the origin of each piece.
Meteorites are more than just objects. They are stories of the universe.
Every meteorite has a journey behind it that is hard to imagine. It formed in an environment no human will ever reach, traveled through space for millions or billions of years, and eventually landed on Earth. When you hold one in your hand, you are not just holding a rock. You are holding a witness to the birth of our Solar System.
This is precisely why we enjoy not only selling meteorites but also explaining them. In our showroom and during lectures, we show how meteorites are identified, where they come from, why they are unique, and why they can be such a powerful experience even for someone encountering them for the first time.
In our showroom, you can view meteorites up close, hold them in your hand, and learn their story.
We are I.M.C.A. members — Trust is fundamental
When it comes to meteorites, trust is absolutely essential. That is why we personally adhere to the rules of a fair meteorite market and are listed as members of the International Meteorite Collectors Association — an international organization that helps protect collectors, promotes ethical trade, and fights against fakes.
We are members of I.M.C.A. not just as a company, but as individuals:
Zdeněk Schneider — I.M.C.A. #3850
Milan Zvára — I.M.C.A. #8785
Both of us can be verified directly on the association's website imcax.com.
What we build trust on
For us, however, trust does not start with a membership or a certificate. It starts with the selection of the meteorite. We carefully choose every piece, verify its origin, and work with suppliers and finders whom we personally know or have long-term verified.
We provide a certificate of authenticity for selected meteorites and perform spectrometric composition analysis on many of our pieces.
Helping everyone find the right piece of the universe
We select meteorites for various types of customers. For some, it is the first piece of the universe they can hold. For others, the beginning of a collection. Some are looking for a gift that stands out from common items. Others want a rare specimen with investment potential.
Whatever your motivation, we will help you select a meteorite that aligns with your interest, budget, and the story you want to take home with you.
The universe within reach
We believe that knowledge doesn't have to stay just in books, museums, or on a planetarium screen. Through meteorites, it can become a personal experience.
You can see them, hold them, examine them, give them as gifts, or add them to your collection. Each one is a real piece of the universe – old, beautiful, authentic, and unique.
That is why we created Alien Rocks. To make meteorites, and with them the knowledge and beauty of the universe, truly within reach.
