Hey everyone, Hoping ya'll can help me understand the difference between a meteorite and natural iron. I doubt that I'm lucky enough to have found an actual meteorite but how does one tell without being able to cut it in half to look at the internal structure? I've attached images of a "rock"...

I found this rock today it is really magnetic has iron in it. Is it a possible meteorite?? Or just regular iron ore??:icon_scratch:

I found this interesting rock on the train tracks near a park near my house. I tried smashing it open with a sledge hammer I have, but it is strong so I couldn't get it too crack open. Also it is not magnetic, but it leaves a light brown streak and possibly has some metal properties in the rock...

I found this on top of a hiking trail in Santa Clarita, California. I’m not sure if that is fusion crust, but it passed the magnet test. I also did a scratch test on the back of a tile and it left no marks. The rock is also very heavy compared to another one of it’s size. Any input would be...

Hi everyone, new here. My father recently found this rock that he think could be a meteorite. It’s very heavy, about the size of my hand. It attracts magnets in some spots. Do you think it could possibly be a meteorite? Thank you.

thanks a lot

So I have the opportunity to purchase 2 Sikhote-Alin Meteorites one is roughly 37 grams and the other is roughly 32 grams - I would be paying 80 dollars total. Do you think that's a good deal on them?

Is this gold or fools gold? I found this rock in the desert covered in desert varnish. On removing varnish, it was gold coloured and i have attached pictures. Any ideas what it could be? I broke some fragments off by bashing the surface and they were black flakes that smelt of smoke. It...

If you could it would be much appreciated if you can identify both of these ! And how much they are worth ? :icon_thumright: :headbang:

still looking for clues here . . . this really seems like a strange stone, I did all the online tests, but none conclusively rule this rock out or definitively point that it is indeed a meteor. Any help would be great, we manage to chip out a piece, and did a little grinding and polishing as...

Hello everyone, just joined and like the site already. I need some help identifying a rock I have. It is not magnetic, streak test was red at first, now shows grey when exposed, it is EXTREMELY HEAVY, appears to have a fusion crust, maybe 1mm thick, and when ground down appears to be almost...

Hello, I'm new in this forum, but I hope you don't mind helping us. My husband and I have these 6 rocks we found in our backyard a while ago, and we wonder if they're indeed ferrous meteorites. :icon_scratch: When we read descriptions and see pictures, they seem to match a meteorite description...

Came across this strewn field map of the CM carbonaceous chondrite meteor fall that occurred April 22 near Coloma, California.
