Some experts speculate that even if the meteorite falls, there may be 1~ 10 kg of meteorite left on the ground.
The value of meteorites is higher than that of gold, which is a kind of hype. However, experts remind that meteorites have high research value in scientific research, and the earlier they are discovered, the higher the research value. I hope to find a suspicious meteorite falling, do nothing, keep it dry and send it to the scientific research department. Meteorite is just a mineral with high scientific research value. Economic value is a kind of artificial hype.
So what are the internal characteristics of meteorites?
The appearance of meteorites is definitely different from the minerals on earth. Meteorites falling on the earth's surface have a thin fusion layer because of the high temperature caused by friction with the earth's air, which makes their surface dissolve. There will be air marks on the surface. Moreover, most meteorites contain iron, so magnets can be used to attract meteorites. Meteorites are heavier than ordinary rocks on earth. Meteorites are generally spherical.
Because a large number of meteorites are chondrites, accounting for more than 90% of meteorites. Then a large number of silicate spheres can be seen inside the meteorite. Spheroidal meteorites are the most primitive materials in the solar system. So if you see many spherical acid salt spheres in a mineral, you can basically be sure that it belongs to whispers.
Meteorites without chondrules need expert identification.
And iron meteorites are the most beautiful meteorites. Their surfaces are as bright as pure iron Moreover, friction with the atmosphere will produce all kinds of large and small round pits and grooves. From a commercial point of view, this meteorite is the top grade among meteorites.
If you find a meteorite, please contact the local scientific research department as soon as possible.
