"Pearl" in the "Star Stone" meteorite in Luzhong

There are special stone iron meteorites in Zibo and Laiwu in Luzhongshan District, Shandong. The local people vividly call it "star stone", also known as "star shit" and "moon shit". The title of this image is implicitly a possibility -this kind of meteorite has been witnessed, and the following two pictures are the best explanations:

This stone iron meteorite is relatively uniform, as small as peanuts, as large as a sweet jujube, or round or ellipse, which is different from most stone iron meteorites. It has a bright and smooth shell. Its shell is a scales -shaped crystal. Although the appearance becomes gray face after a long time, after cutting, it is dazzling, as bright as a mirror, this characteristic is also the fundamental difference between it and the earth iron ore. And the earth's iron ore cut surface is black and bright because they are iron compounds.

Some of these "star stones" fall on the bluestone slabs in the Luzhongshan area, and some are scattered in the soil. Because they are generally small, it is difficult to find. According to analysis, the reason why these stars are the surface of the crystal, not the oil -bright shell of the ordinary meteorite, which is related to the water environment and their materials on the surface of the surface. , Suddenly, it was formed.

The attachment on the surface of the star stone is difficult to be clear, and it takes a long time to blisters and brushes to reveal the true capacity.

The clean "Star Stone" was just eye -catching, and the surface of the fish scale distributed crystal surface was shining, like black diamond. Refuse to understand that its main ingredient is rare metal, and the material is hard. Although it is still glorious after thousands of years, meteorite enthusiasts use them to make bracelets, pendants, etc., which are very loving.
