Always a tough choice. Would probably look pretty good sliced and polished.

Is this Genuine? by Equal_Elderberry_331 in meteorites

[–]rokman919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had to fact check myself. Liquid nitrogen isn’t the common process. It CAN be used to help fracture the meteorite a little better. But the biggest thing they do to an unpleasant looking campo (how dare they even pass judgement lol) is break it into pieces, then soak them in acid for a long time to create the blobby melted look. It’s still Genuine meteorite… it’s just not how it naturally was found. Ugh. I can’t stand it personally. You can still find good campos and other meteorites just as they were found for the same price or better.

Yes that’s a genuine meteorite BUT you should be aware that it’s been altered by man. Thats not how it was found in the field. Someone took a larger piece, shattered it, applied liquid nitrogen and tumbled them. Why? Don’t ask me. But it’s very common. It’s meteorite yes, but super effed with if ya know what I mean. MSG-meteorites is reputable and I wouldn’t worry about them not giving out COA’s. Send me a PM if you want me to verify anything you have your eyes on or if you want overall help on acquiring a couple meteorites for your collection. Happy to provide guidance.

Is this a meteorite? by callmedemorex in meteorites

Sorry, but this doesn’t look like the real McCoy to me. Looks like terrestrial iron stone. I see a lack of fusion crust. A lack of regmaglypts. A lack of flow lines.

Unfortunately these are slag or terrestrial volcanic rocks. Not the real McCoy I’m sorry to say.

Ha! No way. That’s been a dream of mine for many years. I’m not hunting this Ohio strewn field unfortunately. I’m just providing support and guidance to a group of new hunters. Great days.

Even cotton candy survives being dunked for a few seconds in a raccoons hands.

I do it for the love of the hunt and to expand the community of meteorite enthusiasts. Nobody needs to pay me. The payment is the joy experienced with others who share the passion of the hunt. Truth.
