frankh Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hello everyone! I know the odds are against me on this one but I found this recently in Burlington County, New Jersey. Looking at basic tests online, it does pass the magnetic and streak test so I have to ask - do I have a Meteorite here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hematite or magnetite. Hematite will streak reddish brown, magnetite..black. https://geology.com/minerals/streak-test.shtml You can use the underside of a white porcelain toilet lid for the streak plate.

Regmaglitch Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Not a meteorite. It has no features that meteorites have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
