Morlock 1,600 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Not sure exactly what you have but definitely not a meteorite. Granite maybe? Sorry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one on the right looks similar to a recent one I cut, but I don't know what mine is either. Is it translucent when it gets wet? Notice any spots that seem to be an odd color?

hardtimehermit 498 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Does not look like any type of meteorite to me, what makes you suspect it is from the moon or mars? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bedrock Bob 3,871 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Are you eager to sell these as well? I am not sure why anyone would suspect these are meteorites. Can you discuss the characteristics that you think makes them suspect? From the photos it looks like weathered granite field stone. I don't see anything meteoritic nor are you offering any support for that hypothesis. There is a big disconnect between man and mineral that must be overcome. I'm pretty sure those stones are at least 30% crystalline quartz and 15% feldspar. Why don't you whack a piece off with your saw and show us the goodies. Better yet save the diamonds and just break a chunk off with a hammer. I'll bet my nuggets it is exactly what it appears to be. A chunk of weathered granite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am, if they were to be lunar and martian. Looking back and comparing pictures again to some classified Mars meteorites, it does look a little different, but the lunar one still resembles many other classified lunar meteorites. That is what struck my curiosity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
