Hi Ed,
Like Mike S. said, lower power is better with meteorites. Unless you have some properly-prepared thin sections and a polarizer assembly, but that is another ballpark. Even then, you rarely go over a couple of hundred times.
Something with top illumination is preferred, or have an external light source like a bright desk lamp handy.
I bought an old German microscope off eBay, but haven't had much time to use it lately.
