meteorite

Heavy red and black stone

Hi everyone, I was digging up my back yard and found quite a large rock (within a meter of digging) which looked a bit like a meteorite or some valuable rock like quartz. I'm really unsure, it doesn't have magnetic power but it has, what looks like 3 layers: a previous core, simple rock and then...

can any one identify this PS: this rock is very heavy and very solid

As you can see it is attracted to a cheap magnet!! What do you thnk?? I found it on the ground near my friends house

Found this in the desert in texas, what could it be. Half metal half rock,metal part is not magnetic

found a bunch of these neat green, red,orange,and dark blue stones and noticed what looks like two little bird like people tucked together with the smaller one wrapped at the waist of the larger of the kin i would presume. Any ideas about what on gods green earth can explain this not so far...

Hello all! Is anyone up for hunting meteorites in North Carolina? I am interested in connecting with like minded folks to search for out of this world treasure! If you are closer to Western NC then that is a bonus! Thanks! :tchest:

Found at location of a witness fall meteorite in Long Island NewYork I believe the purple may be iridium. it can give sometimes give headaches and scratch your hands when you hold it for decent time. it is almost completely non magnetic and only barely reacts to a rare earth magnet. it also...

Very harmful to touch Meteorite also attached (Non toxic) Definitely thinking this is iridium or something or the sort very strange can give burns to the touch does not oxide.

could it be from the fall I witnessed from awhile back. Non metallic if not its definitely interesting.

Alright first I would like to say thank you for allowing me into this group as a new member, this is why I am here. I purchased this on EBay as a meteorite here is the problem. Several meteorite groups on Facebook with trained eyes have said this is not a meteorite it has no fusion crust how bla...

I just joined Treasurenet.com so please excuse any mistakes. Here are some items that I recently found. I am planning to take them to a public identification forum but let me know if you have any thoughts: Moving from right to left. At the right are stone balls that were dug up at a...

I I was walking home from the park, and I found this rock on the train tracks near my house. It rusts after I put water on it. Possibly a Meteorite or Iron Ore?? I could use some help.

Hi, i'm new here and would like to ask for some help. There are some online sellers selling these meteorite pendants, can someone say if they are real or fake? I know that you can't say for sure wthout some equipment, nontheles, maybe there is something about them that screams fake and I don't...

possible meteorite?? I found this brown/red stone with shiny black specks inside. I suspect is a meteorite because it is attracted to a magnet. I also understand magnetite and hematite behave the same way with a magnet. I am including some pictures. I hope you can help me to identify this...

Slightly magnetic Feels heavy, but is less that 100 grams looks like iron but its stone.

If this isn't Iron Slag or a Meteorite... then what is this? been stumping me for the past few days... i found this odd object in my back yard... now my soil is very known to contain Limonite (goethite after pyrite pseudomorphs, an iron ore) and its known to contain iron artifacts that i find...

Hi guys, just wondering what sort of meteorite it can be, I purchased it without any info regarding type, place of fall, etc. As you can see it has very oriented shape, fusion crust (~%70). It is 78mm (3.09in) long. Attracts magnet. Any suggestions welcomed.

I'm trying to figure out what type of rock is this. I am out on LI ,New York . It's been suggested that it looks like molten rock

I live in a glacial valley right next to a river that runs through it. Every time the river is low, I go and check to see if anything interesting or abnormal has been washed down. Yesterday I found this (pictured), and it stood out a lot from the rocks around it. It's heavy for it's size, it's...

If you look back at my older started thread, you can see it is about a rock that was identified as either hematite or carbonado black diamond. I found the first one down in western Kentucky in driveway gravel and I have recently gone back to the same place looking for any signs of the same type...

This metal is not a magnet but it can push magnet.

I read an article in a meteorite hunting forum that a mangled mailbox which was hit by a meteorite sold at auction for close to 82,000 dollars. lol I am thinking along the lines of a large piece of land with a buttload of mailboxes and a giant electro-magnet could be the most profitable crop of...

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...

I dug this object with my Garrett 250 at around 4". At first I thought of a 12ga. slug commonly used in this area for dear hunting. It had a shape and weight of lead. My machine read it as somewhere between brass and silver. After cleaning it I could see peculiar lines on the smooth side and a...

purchased off internet for $8.50 new zealand dollars. 11 grams. NWA meteorite (northwest africa) it looks like a basaltic shergottite but i am not sure. help would be appreciated.

I bought a huge lot of random antiques at an auction not too long ago, and found this necklace in it. Not sure what it's made out of. Looks like it has silver and gold, or fools-gold maybe. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like a Moral mushroom or what. Anyone have any ideas?

We found a 22 lb chunk of meteorite from the Amboy Ca. area. Just wondering what it might be worth. There doesn't seem to be anyone here that knows anything about them, but I have run into a couple of people here that have found smaller pieces.

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...

Found this in my backyard bout six inches down a couple of months back. Magnets stick, reads as iron and nickel on my detector,super heavy, looks like its made up of metal grains or metal crystals tightly packed together about the size of a golf ball, conical on one side,flat on...

Hey Guys! :) This is my first post. I Found on my field these 2 old and amazing rocks. One, the big one (orange color) is about 55kg heavy, and it sticks to magnet. It is kinda heavy for common rock, looks interesting so I thought, maybe its a meteorite. I haven't gone yet in lab for nickel...

Here are some new pics of where we cut into it. We found it with the metal detector, reading nickel, iron and pull tab or gold range. It also has a magnetic pull. Found in the Great Lakes region. 300+ grams, silver metal flecks and moderate magnetic. Passed the tests would greatly appreciate an...

I found this small but quite heavy stone with a magnet. It must have a high content of iron because it sticks to the magnet very strong. Some parts look like they either rusted away or broke off. A sawn face revealed shiny metal. The surface looks smooth (appart from the broken off areas), looks...
