Uncle Ron 1,486 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well, those metal sparkles inside look promising .. I wouldn't throw it away for sure... Cheers, Unc Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,135 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 the pic is not clear...a simple, cheap whet-stone, some spit and a little grinding will give you a window to check for nickel/iron inclusions...there is no need to cut a possible meteorite in half...fred Link to post Share on other sites
Paseclipse 3 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cut about 20% off of it then take a pic in the sunlight using the macro on your camera. Get a nice clean pic and post it if you can.Del Link to post Share on other sites

adam 3,120 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 How exciting Lon... Good pic, Someone should be able to tell now ......So , did you beep it or just speck it? Link to post Share on other sites
frank c 968 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Lookin at the new pic I'd say YOU WIN THE "CUPIE DOLL" Link to post Share on other sites
Desertsunburn 44 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Picture looks interesting, I would verify that those shinny flecks are metal or mineral. A good look though a loupe can help determine that. If you look at these flecks though magnification, if it's a mineral, you would see some dispersion. If it's metal, you would not see dispersion.I am not convinced yet. I see some things I don't like in the picture. However, I reserve my opinion at this time as you need to continue the basic tests!Cheers!Jim Link to post Share on other sites
fredmason 1,135 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Looking much like a chrondrite...show it to Bill...when it is appropriate...fred Link to post Share on other sites
frank c 968 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yeah the pic seems to show chondrites also.You can only see so much from a pic but I think it looks good.Wait till maybe Bill has a look at it in person.Lon I don't think you mentioned if you found it in a area that had meteorites. ???
