VILLCASE 2pcs Meteorite Specimen with Box, Authentic Real Meteorite Litho Siderite Sample, Irregular Meteorite Natural Specimen Science Teaching Material

A bit small and could be anything! But will probably go down a treat as a stocking filler!

Firstly. They come in small plastic display cases and the lid has a display window. Inside is a sponge-like material inlay for the rock to settle in. Each rock is around 10mm and are both different in their appearance and shape. Once the lid is sealed the rock sinks into the sponge and doesn’t rattle around or have the ability to move.Secondly. I was sceptical about how genuine these rocks would be. I decided to dig a little deeper to try and find ways of checking the authenticity of these being genuine pieces of meteorite.It was a nice surprise to find out that these rocks do indeed pass meteorite tests of the Meteorite Museum, University of New Mexico.For reference, the following is information from the USGS website, as quoted from the Meteorite Museum, University of New Mexico.Meteorites have several properties that help distinguish them from other rocks:• Density: Meteorites are usually quite heavy for their size, since they contain metallic iron and dense minerals.• Magnetic: Since most meteorites contain metallic iron, a magnet will often stick to them. For “stony” meteorites, a magnet might not stick, but if you hang the magnet by a string, it will be attracted.• Unusual shape: iron-nickel meteorites are rarely rounded. Instead, they have an irregular shape with unusual pits like finger prints in their surface called “regmaglypts.”• Fusion crust: stony meteorites typically have a thin crust on their surface where it melted as it passed through the atmosphere.Meteorites do NOT have the following:• Light-colored crystals: Quartz is a common, light-colored crystal in Earth’s crust, but it is not found on other bodies in the solar system.• Bubbles: volcanic rocks or metallic slag on Earth often have bubbles or vesicles in them, but meteorites do not.• Streak: if you scratch a meteorite on an unglazed ceramic surface, it should not leave a streak. A dense rock that leaves a black or red streak probably contains the iron minerals magnetite or hematite, respectively, neither of which are typically found in meteorites.Overall, as someone who’s very interested in all things regarding the universe I’m very satisfied with these items and will have them on display in my home.

Totally fake and waste of money don't buy.

In all honesty, I have no real way to validate whether these are from out of space or not but through rudimentary tests and google they do look as though they're completely legitimate. Space has always fascinated me and I feel quite privileged to own a pair of meteorite pieces. Just thinking how far they've travelled, how old they are and other things where numbers become so large they're mind bending.They are very small but you get two very similar rocks in a tiny little case. Maybe these little rocks don't hold the secrets of the universe but they do give a sense of wonder. At £13.99 I'll let you decide whether you think that's worth it or not, as I've no idea how to evaluate something like this, but for me it's more than worth it.

I really don't know if this came from space no identification..a magnet sticks which is fine but still I'm 50/50with it..it's cheap and fun piece to talk bout .
