I'm a 66-year-old Vietnam area Viet. That contracted hepatitis C in the military. And after almost dying in 2015. I got the cure that came out that year. I pretty much lost everything. My 13 acre ranch, my wife and children left me. And after I got the Cure, which did save my life. I started collecting meteorites. And after 3 years I have a very large collection from around Oregon State. And although I have hundreds of pounds of what I believe to be meteorites and meteorite associated pieces. I am just one person that has taken it upon himself to find and collect meteorites and all things associated with them. Including a lot of impact glass. Not to mention lunar meteorites and meteorites that I believe Are from Mars. But I have had a really hard time getting these verified or even to talk to anyone that actually knows what I know. If you would be interested in seeing and helping me verify which rocks to send in forverification. I would appreciate the help. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to hearing back from you. And I have much appreciated your shows. And the information that I've got from them. Thank you.

Thank you for your service and for watching the channel. I get loads of requests like this and lack the time to help everyone. What did the Facebook Groups (that I mention in the description of 300 videos) say about your submitted photos?

[@kaioken3691]

Thank you for this episode i was waiting long time for tectites and impactites! I spending most free of work time on meteorite hunting! Tectites i hunt only once for rare moldavite from Moravia, but i didnt find any. True moldavite, you can tell under microscope for bubbles and swirls of lechatelierite, which cannot be faked so far! That jewelry piece set in gold was also with garnets. Astonishing green libian desert glass! Museum grade for sure!

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

What a great comment! I am so happy that we got to the impactites for you. It is nice to have people join the conversation that know what they are talking about. Garnets, thanks 👍 Please tell me that you are subscribed. I have a demo Lunar classification video with a meteorite classifier coming up.

Another question. The surface melt on this impact ejecta is peppered with particles embedded in the melt. Is it possible to identify the source using these tiny particles?

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Great question. Search my channel for Mike's complete "Wabar set" for a cool discussion. Yes, most of the material you see stuck to them is terrestrial. But, they can contain meteoritic samples.

[@crazymeteorites3653]

Depends on a lot of things the type of meteorite the materials where it’s from the angle it fell, speed.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

True. Tons of variables. Did you watch the video and subscribe?

[@HoboMinerals]

Tiny vials of stardust on a sterling or gold chain sounds good.. There’s plenty of teeny tiny vials you can put some cool stuff in… And they come with lids you can permanently seal.. Just an idea

Hello. Listen to you and learn much great info. We live in Frederick County Maryland. Believe we have a meteorite from a January 1919 fireball that traveled over Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. Grandfather found this "rock" over 100 years ago. It weighs 85 pounds. We have had it since and are planning to soon get it verified. Very interested in meteorites. Again thanks for your programs!

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Very cool. Please keep us updated.

I don't offer free services to help ID stones. I am not a trained Geologist. Do you believe that you really have a meteorite? Submit pictures to: facebook.com/groups/isitameteorite or facebook.com/groups/meteorite.or.meteorwrong. The power of the Facebook Groups I recommend is that there are a bunch of knowledgeable geologists and meteorite people in there.

[@azoresgems]

Parabéns, muito esclarecedor, sei que tenho impactitas encontradas no mar, o que faz com que tenha a casca mais desgastada, mas dá para ver como seriam além das formas proprias. Após testes são 100% Sio2, mas não há ninguém em Portugal interessado no assunto, que possa validar, com muita pena minha. Após ouvir esse vídeo fiquei ainda com mais certeza😢😢

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

English only please. I suggest using Google Translate!

[@DanSk451]

I have a ball of magnetic iron with a shatter cone of opaque green glassy material through it. The pinch point of the shatter is pristine. The red hematite has been expelled and forms a ring around the cone. Everything outside the red is magnetic. A full description takes paragraphs. I’m working to get it scanned and imaged. Some scientists somewhere should be interested in the force required to turn iron to glass at a molecular level.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Sounds pretty extreme.

[@DanSk451]

@@TopherspinMeteorites I’m going to spend probably thousands to image the interior. I’ve just learned about high res micro/nano tomography and such. I think Cambridge offers the technology at an hourly rate. I don’t want to slice it. The concept of what happened to this object and me digging it up where I did will need a video presentation.

[@TopherspinMeteorites]

Seeing that an official meteorite can be classified for about $400, I would advise you again spending thousands of dollars to do what you're trying to do.

[@DanSk451]

@@TopherspinMeteorites You bet! A microscope may solve my suspicions. Still, I’ve started an account at Cornell. I can trust their microscopes. Basically for that price. And then it’s at the right place if words like wadsleyite arise. It’s not a meteorite so meteorite people have been a straight shut down. Zero curiosity about the word ejecta. If excess of 5 GPA has created something rare here, they can scan longer, and I’ll pay. If not, I’ll slice it for circle of green glass surrounded by a ring of red hematite and 2/3 around with magnetic iron. It’ll look purdy. The strongly magnetic iron section may pose a threat to the instruments though, so cutting a sample will be a last resort. The entire object is interconnected. The iron protected everything above it at a 71 degree angle. Yes, I think I have a horizontal shatter cone. I love the channel, and thank you for caring about people getting scammed.

[@DanSk451]

@@TopherspinMeteorites Hello again, another question. All these years with a magnifying glass, I didn’t notice. I sent a picture to my local university and for the first time expanded a closeup of the flat surface that has always looked like melt to me. Beyond my regular eye magnifying glass. There is definitely separate particles imbedded in that melt. Could a microscope give much information about tiny particles, other than confirm their existence?
