Meteorite identification


Recommended Posts

Hello I just signed up because I need to know if these are meteorites. I'm almost positive they are. They aren't very big but they are both magnetic. The bigger one has green gemstones all in it. The first two pictures are the one with the green gems. The second one is the size of a quarter and both are magnetic.

Hi,

The only way to know for sure that they are meteoric is to get a sample from them analysed by a recognised meteorite laboratory such as the Natural History Museum in London:

In the USA, the USGS provides the following advice:

I think I found a meteorite. How can I tell for sure? | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov)
