I saw a picture of the “professional’’ meteor hunter who found the first fragment handling it with his bare hands. The oils and other contaminants from his hands will, unfortunately, reduce its scientific value. The picture in this article shows it being correctly handled using aluminum foil to avoid contaminates.

Unless he touches it with his bare hand, he won’t be able to receive the superpowers that it gives to any human that encounters it.
