    Hello my friends, I sure did miss you all. Here is something I had in room for a while and just found it today in my messy room, lol.

    Anyone know what this rock or ? is called ? It weighs exactly 98 grams .

    Thank You all, my close friends because the ones around here are liars, thieves etc.

    Regards

    Looks like some type of calcite and quartz on broken piece of fossil.

    Too out of focus to see the crystals,but looks like volcanic origin of some type. Do you know where it was found?

    No, I bought a bag of gems rocks at estate sale a few years ago, don't know where it was found.

    Hi,
    I have been told by many an expert that all meteorites are magnetic. I thought that the stone ones are not since they contain no metal. Many years ago when I was in the US Navy and on trip to Antarctica I found several rocks in the ice shield that were meteorites one was not magnetic. I was told that it was a stony meteorite and was not magnetic. I do not know what to think.

    Hi Greg, I have been doing research and found that moon and mars meteorites are not magnetic.

    Hi Billy,
    Thanks, when I told my nephews about my meteorites they told their mother what I had said. She told them that I was WRONG. If they remember when they went to the Planetarium the people there told them that all meteorites are magnetic and if they are not they are not meteorires

    Only a fraction of meteorites are magnetic, though the mostly likely to survive to the ground are the nickel iron ones.
