What do you guys think? Shall we pay them a visit?

I have met the owner a few times during exhibitions. Their "factory" is near to my in-laws place in Sungai Petani. In fact, they will have a booth in the property fair in Penang this weekend to display their meteorites.
If anyone interested (better in a group), I can arrange a private visit to their factory.

That's great! I'm interested. Who else?

pardon me for asking... those meteorites are authentic? It has to be really a lot for them to open a factory for it...

I have seen quite a few of their meteorites, and the heaviest I have seen is probably 100kg. They told me it is actually small. They have one (I think it is in their factory) which is over 500kg!
They got it from their supplier in Australia. They even have a shop in Perth, it seems.
