Streak Test: Scratch your specimen on a ceramic tile. “Unless it is heavily weathered, a stony meteorite typically won't leave a streak mark on the ceramic.” If the streak is black or gray, your sample is likely magnetite. If it is a red or brown streak, you probably have hematite. - Clemson University
@@vmc001 if it’s just iron ore or magnetite I don’t think so. But I couldn’t tell you. Meteorites are magnetic because they are mostly composed of iron. I honestly couldn’t tell you.
Fragments of meter rock. Are they radiated? Sweet find though.😮😊❤
I don't know how I would check if it is radiated?
Unfortunately, you need a geiger counter. I couldn't tell you if you can own one, let alone where to get one, and where to go. Google it.
Pretty interesting! I don't really know anything about the stuff, but I'm interested in seeing what you can find out.
Love your channel let’s go
Thank you sir.

I'll try it, thank you .
No streak marks were seen
Iron ore?
Could be meteor bitz
Meteors come in hot thus reducing impurities. So reducing it to metal or iron.
That could be magnetite. I know when I pan for gold there are magnetic rocks that are magnetite.
Is it worth keeping?

@retirednavyrob, thank you for your honest feedback.
