I had to let this one soak in before my head was pulled back together enough to comment. For anyone with an interest in meteorites, science, history and/or simply a curious mind, this is a magical and very rare opportunity to listen to a passionate scientist talk about his craft and see some of the rarest material on our planet Earth. Dr. Laurence Garvie, one of the foremost experts in the field of meteoritics, takes us through the famous Arizona State University meteorite vault on a world-class tour of the wonders held there in. Carefully arranged and perfectly brought to fruition by Topher Spinnato (who painstakingly makes sure his RUclips videos are top class) in partnership with Dr. ("Please call me Laurence") Garvie, this is a gift and a treat to the world of meteoritics and science lovers. Thanks so very deeply to both you Topher and Dr. Garvie, I'll be watching this one over and over.
What a glowing review!!! Thank you very much. I work hard to bring quality content to current meteorite lovers and those yet to fall in love with meteorites. This video will be my highest viewed / rated video. Thanks to Dr Laurence Garvie for his generosity.
@@TopherspinMeteorites i need help getting in contact with others who are equal minded. I have several interesting pieces of crystals that have metallic spheres of some magnetic iron like substance. I have images and dates of finds as well as various other notes. Please contact me soon.
@@TopherspinMeteorites by the way i love the video please keep it up :) also i wish to help but am financially poor. I make up with wisdom and intuition a genuine scientist at heart
@@rockhound3.14 I am not a geologist or a mineralogist. There are some really good Facebook Groups dedicated to all kinds of mineral collectors. They would be the best people to connect with. Many of my friends are in those groups. -Topher
out-freakin-standing VERY enjoyable :) :) :) Thanks Topher for organising and thankyou so much Dr Garvie for taking the time to share your knowledge and time with us all
Thanks for uploading this video. I was invited to join in this podcast but was unable to make it. So I am very happy that I can still see what I missed even though I don't get to watch it live and/or ask questions. Thanks for showing us around Dr. Garvie .... Chris from Madoc, ON. PS> Allende is my most prized meteorite. It is an excellent conversation piece. However, I wish I could find piece #2 of the Madoc Meteorite. But I'd happy with a small specimen from the one and only Madoc Meteorite. That would definitely be my favorite for sure for it's historical significance (among other things). Thanks again for the tour and for sharing the tour.
Its interesting him mentioning the 1989 date. It was around the late 80s or maybe early 90s when the idea of meteorite hunting and collecting went mainstream with the People Magazine Robert Haag article. That was my initial brief introduction to meteorites while in college. Maybe there were other sources of news at the time as well but that seemed to help put the topic on the map for a broader audience. Very cool to see this "candyland" of space rocks!
I wasn't in it back then but those are the names that I have heard were very popular. I'm hoping that the second round was the Meteorite Men TV show and the third round of many is this channel. Thanks for watching this way underappreciated video.
@@TopherspinMeteorites my "2nd" go round was in 2006 when I purchased my first metal detector and thought I was a meteorite man. But nothing but coins and trash were to be found in my neighborhood. My 3rd go round began a month and a half ago which was finding what turned out a meteor wrong and then stumbling across you channel. At the same time I binged all of Meteorite Men and now I'm wondering if I could somehow build my own deep sensing loop detector and run it over my woods to see if any non-man made metal objects are buried 8 feet in the ground! LOL
(Approximately at the 1:14:00 mark) I found the way that Dr. Garvie conveys meteorite collecting / research as a passion primarily exclusive to a certain race as somewhat offensive, I just wish that he could have chosen his words more wisely; nonetheless, an exceptional educational video! Thanks.
Thanks - but I totally disagree. How well do you know the town of Cibecue AZ? How much total time have you spent on Indian Reservation land? By him saying that 'you'd stand out being white in a super small and tight knit Native American town that is on their own sovereign land' (not part of the USA) is an accurate statement.
@@TopherspinMeteorites in other words appearing like black meteorites on a white desert landscape, case in point if that's what was meant, thanks for the explanation.
@@meteoriter1647 Yes, great analogy you used. You'd be noticed right away and you need permission to enter Tribal land. Dr Garvie did say that the Tribe 'wasn't that interested in the stones' or something similar. I found that surprising since I think of their connection with the Earth, nature, animals, the sky, and heavenly events. Thanks for your feedback and support - Please ask others to subscribe. -Topher
I am an amateur researcher an i have several interesting specimen that need examinations from those in the field. Is there a way you can help me get into contact with said persons? Would be greatly appreciated from one scientist to another :)

Maybe the laws guiding quantum physics & general theory of relativity don't apply to one another because the small is so small, we pass through it without it's knowledge. Maybe quantum mechanics is the source of dark energy + matter.. anywho. "only a fool is certain" but to the best of my knowledge we know how everything exists but not why. Hawking worked on disproving his theory after it published. Because he had a estimation at best. I believe in some God however if the word of such existed in an unaltered state than just going to the oldest known religions one might surmise that it's Polly theistic in nature rather than monotheistic.

Look at Australia, Madagascar, or the former hag island which was the only remaining section of Italy above water at the time isolating and providing a safe space for entropy to do its thing. And although we saw repeated body plans also provided the most unique creatures of the ultimate 1% that we know about. Especially with meteorites, I'm always more excited about what we don't know.
