The author came across a sword made of meteorites. I met Xu Shaoguang, a meteorite collector, and wrote a story about him and meteorites. I didn't expect it to be very popular. Many friends sent all kinds of stone appraisal.

Jian Zihao Steel's Damascus Knife comes from Indian meteorite iron ore, and the invention of stainless steel comes from the discovery of nickel in meteorite iron. Up to now, we are still exploring the mystery of making knives from meteorite. Every time I touch it, I feel like a part of the universe, so close to the stars. We should always open our curious eyes and throw ourselves into the vast starry sky.

On July 4th, we published an exclusive interview with Xu Shaoguang, director of Tangshan Meteorological Museum. In less than 24 hours, Gravitational Ingenuity Society received feedback from netizens from the official WeChat public platform, today's headlines, WeChat private messages and other channels. The Meteorological Museum and Director Xu have become popular "stars" on the platform of Gravitational Ingenuity Society!

At the request of netizens, today we visited curator Xu again to learn more about the mystery of meteorites!

Today's Meteorite Museum is "Starlight Glimmer" as always, and curator Xu even feasts his eyes on precious meteorites.

There is also this kind of olive meteorite, which belongs to a stone-iron meteorite. The contents of nickel-iron alloy and silicate minerals in this kind of meteorite are equivalent, each accounting for about 30% to 65%. So the light transmittance is excellent, and it is very beautiful under the light.

Many meteorite lovers left us messages, hoping that curator Xu would help us identify the authenticity of the meteorites in his hand and the details about these meteorites.

Identification of meteorites must be judged by professional institutions. It is irresponsible to identify the authenticity of the meteorite and what kind of meteorite it is according to the picture without seeing the real thing. The Institute of Geology and Geophysics of Chinese Academy of Sciences carries out this business, and the appraisal cost is not high. The majority of meteorite lovers can go to such a formal institution for appraisal.
