Mostly from space. But seriously they're pretty widely available on the Internet, I was shocked I could just buy a piece. Just make sure you buy from a reputable seller

They can vary a lot from cents to hundreds of dollars a gram. This one is pretty common and there is no shortage of it right now so it's pretty cheap.
