Sure is nice to have a “rational” guest who accepts the science, (especially for meteorwrongs) and for you to promote it as a “family heirloom/human interest”, which is creates its own kind of significance.
You remember that young lady that kept insisting that her rock was full of diamonds, and denied each and everything that the good doctor said? Can you imagine what she says to her boyfriend? "No, I do not drive a Yugo! My car has been in the shop for a long time because ... SHUT UP! It is so a Tesla. It only looks like a Yugo!" Although Tesla's do resemble Yugo's in that that their times in shops are eerily close in resemblance ...

I feel for that guy. Missed opportunity to convince him it wasnt a meteorite and keep his grandmothers rock in one peice. You could see how disappointed he was to have done that. When people pick one up and pass it down, it's never "just a rock."
I was watching this installment and had to pause it at 17:30 when my wife called me to the living room to watch the ball drop in Times Square, lol. Happy New Year, everyone! Keep up the great work, guys!
What a great show! My interest in geology has piqued in the last year. I now have a vast collection of things, with each having a "story" to tell (what and why it exists). Thank you for sharing. Folks like you create the bridge of knowledge. 😊
I just came across your channel for the first time and it was super cool to watch. I love that you’re able to get an analysis on these rocks. Thank you for doing this and sharing it with us!
Industrial slag or iron ore smelting by-product. When iron is smelted from iron ore, it often contains significant amounts of silicon. The silicon comes from impurities in the ore or is introduced in the smelting process to remove oxygen. The molten slag that results is usually an iron-silicon mix.
Ok…. It’s so ironic that I have this in my feed… I pulled from the side of a hillside in South Dakota everything that shows meteorite.. But knowing what the comp needs to be!! So cool! Now I want to find someone with the comp xray machine! New sub! Love the content
An "iron silicon alloy" is a combination of iron and silicon metals, often referred to as "ferrosilicon," primarily used in applications where good magnetic properties are needed, like transformers and electric motors, due to the improved electrical resistivity added by the silicon content. (Found this definition and it explained things well)
I love your show. Great work guys. I wish I had an interesting rock of unknown composition. Unfortunately I live in Bend Oregon and don’t come across anything that not volcanic or a hydrothermal kind of deposit. Seems like slag and other industrial stuff is what confuses most us non geologists. I think there could also be some interesting ‘how was this rock formed’ stories. Example being I have a piece of Jasper that I found that is so weird I just can’t understand how it formed. It’s also totally different from any other JasperI have found before. I generally get how it forms, but all the amazing variety, that’s what’s hard to understand.
I know what you mean. I've spent the last 6 months learning about how the continents formed and how they drifted, and the abundant minerals in the Earth's crust. I thought it was all solved to learn there only three primary rocks. The tricky part for me is the blended varieties. So I'll call a combo rock a conglomerate in my book.
although we understand the basic contours of big-picture plate tectonic theory, geologists are still trying to understand the details, and studying rock formation process remains an area of active research with many unknowns
1:50 aww!! I have a few ( my favorite people of course) who have heirloom rocks! And of course we all have created children who also have favorite family rocks and personal finds.. back in the early 1900’s a friend of mine’s dad actually shipped a box of rocks to Alaska when they moved there from Illinois! It just is so relatable!
We get a lot of hematite/jasper rocks on the beaches of Lakes Michigan and Superior. Much of it is oolitic. I couldn’t tell if this sample was oolitic or not. Locally, this hematite/jasper is called “jaspilite.”
It might be worth mentioning to the guests and the YT audience, that iron meteorites are only about 6 percent of the meteorites found on the Earth. Most meteorites (~93%) are the stony type of meteorite composed of silicate minerals like pyroxene, olivine, and Ca-feldspar. About 1 percent of recovered meteorites are the type named stony-iron. The metallic parts of the stony-iron meteorites are composed of iron and nickel. As a metallic element, nickel (Ni) is relatively rare on the surface of the Earth except in meteorites where it alloys with iron (Fe).
Whenever someone brings in a heavy "rock" that they think is an iron meteorite, the first question you should ask about it's origin is, "Is there a railroad near the site where the rock was found?"
Every one of these I've watched is meteorite vs slag. The host may be right on every one, for many reasons, but the world's major iron deposits are iron and silicon. Also, iron deposits in multiple environments, so I'm not sure every piece of iron with no nickel is slag. Glad he explained a little more at the end of this one.
I agree that slag is probably not the only answer, which is why I prefer the term "industrial byproduct". this communicates that it isn't natural while remaining noncommittal on the true origin.
At first sight, it looks like a chunk of banded iron formation/BIF, weathered in a desert environment. It matches the chemical composition, has layers of silica and water and oxygen got inside when it was formed, as you said in yor analysis. Apparently BIF can be found north of Albuquerque in the Iron Hills, Hopewell District, so I'm putting that out for discussion.
i found something very much like this, looked brown but close look it was red crystal by the coast north east usa and it has to be natural. Ruby red quarts or carbanado diamond or meteorite possibly a huge garnet were the closest answers i got. I guarantee mine is natural unless it was made in ancient times. Oh and mine had a quarts band or something also .
I love some of the rocks that I have collected, but they always look better when they are wet. I began to spray them with hairspray to make them shine. Is that bad for the rock?
In Aotearoa New Zealand our pounamu is known to absorb body oils, frequency and our taonga (sacred) pounamu is known to modify itself.. so id say chemicals on body are likely to have interference. go well and enjoy your hunt! kia ora.
It would be great to know if my 89 gram iron Ataxite meteorite is just that . We could cut it in half and see if its Gold inside . I got this from my grandpa s desk 50 years ago .
Cool rock-hunting show that I just subscribed to. How would I get my heavy rock with nickel and pyrite identified ? I found my rock in Livermore, Ca. and would love an identification. It is not magnetic .
Thanks for doing what you're doing. Wish there were more people willing to let randos come in with their rocks. I have been pondering calling the local University and seeing if any geology student would let me rent them for an hour or two to look at my rocks, tell me what they are, then hit the beach and tell me what everything there is. 😂
i have some weird stones/rocks , for me i guess its a meteorite or meteor wrong but , d others my stones & rocks ther have so many shiny every part of my rocks and d others also have a metallic structure
I wish I had, didn't get the radiation detector until after this episode filmed. but I doubt it was radioactive, seemed like standard slag or industrial stuff
Yeah, seems unlikely...but you might want to mask and glove up if you're going to be cutting mystery rocks on a regular basis, just the same. Edit: I'm more of a woodworker than a lapidary enthusiast, but consequences are a thing.

Love your sharing of knowledge. When you said “spongy texture”, I wondered How do you know it’s not one of those rocks which is in the process of Pseudomorphing? Ie one mineral replacing another, like the silica falling into crack of the iron or vice versa? PS I think it’s really cute that everyone thinks they found a meteorite. I wished I lived in San Bernardino because I would be at your office every week asking “What did I find??”. Maybe you can have some shows of what you have found and share how you figured out what it was by analysis, location discussion, relationship to other rocks you found in that area, etc. One You Tube channel called TopherSpin is great about features in a meteorite-for those so inclined.

I would think it has at least some, but also I think it wouldn't have so much Iron in it. Condrites usually represent the presumed very primitive earth/ the space dust of which the earth formed. With that it wouldn't be surprising to also find some Metals that make Up the core of earth
Looks very much like some sort of an iron concretion to me. It definitely doesn't look like any sort of slag that I've seen. Slag tends to be jagged. It hasn't been around long enough to get rounded like that. You don't usually see veins Like the white material In slag. And when cut you often see flow Lines. All that being said with it not in hand it's very difficult to tell.
Oops, especially when they don't have a lot of veins in them. Though admittedly they are not nearly as iron heavy is what you got there. I've seen a number of other sedimentary "nodules" that don't show a whole lot of structure.

Does a condrite metorite have nickel in it?

Condrites usually represent the presumed very primitive earth/ the space dust of which the earth formed.
With that it wouldn't be surprising to also find some Metals that make Up the core of earth
