- It might look just like a generic rock, but this rock is special because it doesn't even come from this planet. It's a chunk of a meteorite that came from space and it's magnetic because it's mostly made of iron and nickel.

Rock from outer space, "its quite rare," drops It and breaks a bit off.
Ancient Chinese saying: when you take a rare rock and drop it on the table, it is still a rare rock.
Why did you say rock instead of rocks that just doesn't make sense
Its fake though
@@vanessadearth7628 because technically it's peices of a rock when you cut one, that's like saying:
if you have a pickle and you cut it in half, do you have 2 pickles or do you have 2 halves of a pickle? ... kinda thing
Also let me clarify that when you say "Rock from outer space" it can mean a number of things, but it's also the way you use the word in the explanation that changes the meaning of the word, without making it a plural word by saying "Rocks" ... an in this instance it is about a singular Rock, the Rock we saw, that is from outer space, hence Rock from outer space ... even tho he cut it, it's still a Rock from outer space it's just now a Rock that was cut

If you were to think about it, light from the sun travels about 94 million miles relatively undisturbed just to bounce off of the palm of your hand or be absorbed by your retinas. The photons from stars travel many billions or trillions more, and by the time they reach your eyes, most of the original stars that sent them your way are long dead, and what you see is kind of like their dying message.

so, diamonds are also very interesting. i do get a little sick of them getting all the recognition instead of other, rarer species but diamonds are still undeniably unique.

How'd you end up with the beautiful cross section?
As a 9 year old boy, back around 1983, I was deeply interested in geology and would look for meteorites. I found two rocks that ticked all the boxes I knew of for a meteorite. Dense, attracted to a magnet and blackish brown with what looked like atmospheric melting.
I told my dad about it and we made a family trip to Griffith Park Observatory to get some answers. There was a professor there who looked at both and said that if the smaller, unusually shaped one turned out to be a meteorite, he'd pay me $10,000.00 for it and steered us to UCLA's geology department to have it tested.
Now my family is really excited. My sister and I are already spending the money in our heads. 10K in the early 80s was a good amount of money.
We went there and they did a porcelain scratch test and the color was brown. Magnetite. I was so deflated and it was a very long drive back home.
