Glass meteorites are black or dark green, a bit like stones, but they are not stones. It is a bit like glass, but it is a very special glassy substance without crystallization. Various shapes, generally relatively small, ranging from a few grams to dozens of grams in weight. The identification of glass meteorites mainly depends on the discovery place and chemical isotope characteristics of the samples, and the chemical isotope characteristics are the final basis.

Matters needing attention of glass meteorite

Natural glassy meteorites are mainly yellow-green, with good transparency and bright and lively colors; Natural glass-like meteorites are mainly in green and blue tones, and sometimes there are earthy tones, and the overall color is dark.

Pore holes and simulated pores on the surface of raw materials: the edge of the pores on the surface of natural glass meteorites is sharp, while the edge of the abrasion pits on the surface of simulated natural glass meteorites (used to simulate the pores on the surface of natural glass) is smooth. In addition, the pores on the surface of natural glass meteorites are directional and different in depth, while the pores of imitations are uniform and have no directionality.
