Ordinary rock Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Found this a long while back and thought it was those iron dirt balls in fields until I busted it open earlier. It has shiny metal in it. Is it a meteorite? Sorry the pics suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisski Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Because I see quarts in the photos, I would say no. I don’t see metals in the photos. Not saying they are not there; the web some times makes quotes not as sharp. What the photos look to me is regular white quarts and some yellow / red quarts which is just regular quarts with some staining. To me red or red brown quarts indicates Some iron compound. I occasionally find the yellow, but don’t know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 If that is iron it will be magnetic. So pass a magnet over that "shiny metal" and see if it sticks. If it does you have a suspect stone that warrants further investigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
