How to Test for Specific Gravity #shorts #meteorite

Did you find a meteorite? Or maybe you're a rockhound. Either way or more, doing a specific gravity test can add more clarity to your specimen's identification.

Meteorites were important in the stone age as source of metal for sparks and firemaking.

Awesome. They used to think stones that were magnetized were struck by lightening, maybe this one was?

now hit that rock with a rainbow and see what the lazer reads.

what should be the gravity of a potential meteorite

[mid-westengineeringandcons]

It's dry weight divided by the difference between the dry and wet weights. I.e 18/(18-3)=1.2

You let the rock touch the scale and let go or count to three so the scale can actually level itself out come on man it'll be honest with you I don't think that's a meeting right it's just so long and rectangle and meteorites can come in all shakes and sizes but when you're coming through an atmosphere and an eye votility and being melted it's usually not long and rectangle it's more oval ground semi symmetrical not rectangle
