    I recently sent a sample to New England meteor lab. But i am not satisfied with their findings. Though i sent a rock with a glassy surface and blue and yellow colors flashing inside they said it is not a meteorite but at the same time failing to answer why my rock surface is glassy and shining. They also failed to answer why different colors emitting inside the rock. They subjected my rock to magnet susceptibility test only and concluded it is not a meteorite. My rock attracts magnet but small chunk sent to that lab did not have iron content it seems. My rock when it fell it was a magmatic one and later it solidified into a bigger rock. Glass objects were also found alongside. No foundry no industrial process near my place. Then what it is? Many many objects picked and all are emitting colors like the parent rock which leads to the conclusion that all belong to the same family. So mysteries of nature should have to unlocked till the existence of universe.

    Correction with the bubbles or holes:
    Meteorites CAN have holes or vesicles, but this is not of the same size of lava rocks. They are micro holes, visible to the eye, but no wider than a few hairs. It is usually found on the trailing side or backside of a meteorite. This isn’t too common on non-oriented meteorites, but it can happen. It’s usually a sign of stable flight.

      Can I ask you a few questions ? I'm trying to figure out if a magnetic rock I found is a meteorite or something else.
      The rock in question at first glance looks like river rock. The type used in landscaping. It's about the size of my palm with the approximate volume of a racquetball. But it stuck out to me because of all the small voids. It holds a neodymium magnetic pretty strongly. The magnet jumps to it. The rock is dull gray though and doesn't appear to have any type of fusion crust left on it ( if it ever had any).
      I washed it, and while it's wet, there are a few visible "fracture" lines .
      I don't know what else to look for.
      Strongly magnetic, but lacks any noticeable fusion crust, and also being rounded makes me doubt that it's a meteorite. But hell, maybe it ended up in a river 1,000 years ago and now it looks like that. 🤷‍♂️
      Any advice?

    • @trendingmailbox

      You likely saw a meteorite or a fireball. The blue-green tail came from burning metals, and the explosion happened as it broke in the atmosphere. The "bloop" was it hitting water.

    • @trendingmailbox
      @trendingmailbox  2 месяца назад

      Not necessarily. Some terrestrial rocks contain metal or iron, making them magnetic. Meteorites often contain iron-nickel, which makes them magnetic too. To confirm if it's a meteorite, you could check for a fusion crust (a thin black layer from atmospheric entry) or distinctive patterns like Widmanstätten lines, which are specific to meteorites. Testing for density and seeking expert verification is also helpful.

      Pull the lid off your toilet tank and scratch the rocks against the rough underside. If you can draw lines with it, then it's (most likely) not a meteorite .

      To sell your meteorite, follow these steps:
      Get it authenticated: Contact a meteorite expert or lab to verify its authenticity.
      Get it appraised: Find a reputable appraiser to determine its value.
      List it online: Use specialized meteorite websites.
      Contact collectors: Reach out to meteorite collectors or clubs.
      Attend trade shows: Visit gem and mineral shows to find buyers.

    Can i ask because all of those has pass. But one thing just really want to know. The streak test. When i scratch hard this stone it leaves faint gray. But in a little force its not leaves streak.

    • @trendingmailbox
      @trendingmailbox  6 месяцев назад

      Sure, the streak test is a useful method for identifying minerals. If a stone leaves a faint gray streak when scratched hard but doesn't leave a streak with little force, it might indicate a few possibilities:
      Hardness: The stone may be harder than the streak plate (usually porcelain). Harder minerals don't always leave a streak because they can scratch the plate instead.
      Composition: The faint gray streak could suggest the presence of certain minerals, like hematite or magnetite, which are iron oxides and often leave gray to black streaks.
      Surface Coating: The stone might have a surface coating or weathering layer that affects the streak test. Applying more force can penetrate this layer, revealing the true streak color.
      For accurate identification, consider combining the streak test with other methods like hardness, luster, and specific gravity tests.
