meteorite pete Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks Jason ! That helps a lot .It also explains why these rocks are rusting so fast. cant seem to keep it off of them. There rusting faster then I can clean them ! The ones I have been finding have white Quartz , what looks like a lot of iron , small black spheres inside and out and what looks like a slight jade green in some spots. The white Quartz has what looks like the Widmanstatten pattern in it. I cleaned one rocks you should see the monster I found inside ! I will post a picture as soon as I get a chance.
