Bronze and Iron age the only source of steel was from meteorites.
Currently we use meteor showers as skip zones for OTH radio.
Carbonado diamonds, harder than normal earth diamonds, which are black and used in jewelry.
Impact diamonds, created by the impact are used industrially.
I know there are various other industrial and beauty uses. Google it my friend.

Oh, that. Okay, this is a valid/accurate answer to the question I asked, but not really what I meant. I meant going out into space to get/use stuff, not picking stuff up off the ground here on Earth that our planet accidentally ran into.

Other than that, nope, just light and heat...and we're not going out into space to harvest that. We sit on our butts and have solar panels collect what falls.
