meteorwrong or meteorite?

[rockpassion]

meteorwrong or meteorite? it is very heavy and has white inclusion/crystals in it. I don't want to do a scratch test or put a magnet on it because if it is important i want to keep it safe for research. Like the original magnetic orientation. It measures 7 x 3,5 x 3,5 cm on the widest points.

Split it in half and see a fresh surface.

you wish. i am not going to ruin it. Here is something else i found. Let's say meteorwrong or meteorite part 2. At first when i found it i thought it was charcoal but then i saw gas bubbles. It is not magnetic and not very heavy. It broke when i came home and there was a crack when i found it.

here some closeups of the outer surface and inner matrix of the black rock, are there chondrules visible? I hope that when it is a meteorite someone will say so, but i doubt it.

both specimins where not meteorites, after research, and my apologies for being a bit rude. in the last mention of this post.

sorry i was a bit blund to your comment, have you seen my latest post "fusion crust?" love to hear your opinion.

Nice images but I'm curious how a magnet test would adversely affect any meteorite.

The first photo turnes out to be hematite and the second photo's turned out to be a melt remnant of extracting metal from ore. hence all the vesicles. Take a look at my latest post "fusion crust??"that one atracts a magnet.

wait wut? is this a quiz? you already know the facts but ask us to guess?

Well i don't know all the facts. And just would love to know if anyone has seen a stone like the big one i found. And especialy the green inclusions. Are the photo's good enough to tell what it could be. Or is the stone so weird no one knows what it is?

Proper mineral identification of rock components usually requires in hand examination and some testing. The real deal is optical mineralogy on thin sections. If you have a large enough example of an isolateable mineral from the matrix you can follow flow charts that narrow it down by color, SG, angles, hardness, etc. Identifying all the minerals indicates the rock nomenclature and chemical composition.

Thanks for the info, i have send a photo to the ROM and wait for what their first opinion is. And if they find it interesting enough i will send a sample for analizing.
