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"...

Found this horse head on my fathers property in Tennessee. Looks as if it was maybe an old toy. Sitting with lots of fossils dating back to the Paleozoic era.
So I have had this piece of meteorite or possibly a precious metal. The size is decent, but the weight of It is 3 times it’s size. It’s NON magnetic, it doesn’t corrode, rust. I found it and it was that dark oxidized color then used my air grinder with a 60grit pad and took the top layer off. I...
Look, I found a thing! My guess is its a xenolith, although others have suggested its some kind of fossil. It was found near Vancouver Canada. What do u guys think? Can anyone ID this rock?
Hi! We are trying to figure out what type of rock this is. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
The rock is very shimmery and the photos don’t do it justice.
Extremely rough.
Not magnetic.
The rock itself is a black, grey, green color with many sparkles.
Found near the American River in...
I doubt very much that I would actually sell it. The this piece had gone through quite an epic journey to get to the place where it and I would meet, sparking new avenues of interest in me, and ushered in a personal evolution in my life through the learning of how its life kinda single handedly...
It's made of little vertical crystals, the crystals look like sugar, some parts of the rock reacted to acid solution. I found it in İzmir/Turkey. What could it be?
I was searching for sparking rocks and I've found these three rocks. I've managed to start a fire with the white stone so I think it is a piece of flint, or maybe I am wrong. The other ones spark a little bit too. Can you help me with identifying them? I've found them in Turkey. It is going to...
I need this rock identified please and thank you. It has a waxy appearance. From Payson area from what I understand (maybe?) A gift from a friend before they passed. I have been wanting to get it identified and this is my first real attempt. The rock shops near me are closed and I'm super...
Hello! Someone gave me this rock, they said it was a meteorite. So I would like to know if it is really a meteorite and/or what it is.
It's heavy, and has a lot of different and special parts on it.
Here is another find from the Bloomington, Indiana area. It was covered in moss in the woods a little ways from Indian creek. I thought it was a geode because of the unusual shape, but once I started soaking it to dissolve the rock, I realized it was a fossil. Now to just figure out what kind...
