First of all. They come from different sources. Meteorites come from outer space, and they are to ordinary stones what aliens are to mortals on earth. We can't tell at a glance whether it is a real meteorite. Can only be tested with testable instruments. Most meteorites come from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some come from the moon and Mars. And ordinary stones are the products of our earth. It is a small rock mass changed from a large rock mass under the action of external force. It is usually attached to the outside of large rock mass. Some surfaces are rough, others are smooth. Hard stones are used to make stone tools.
Secondly, the appearance is quite different. The meteorite passed through the atmosphere when it landed. The high temperature combustion melted the surface of the meteorite, so a thin molten shell was formed on the surface of the meteorite. This thin molten shell can be measured in microns or millimeters. When the meteorite stays on the earth for a long time, this thin molten shell will disappear by weathering and denudation. Ordinary stones have not been rubbed by the atmosphere and burned at high temperature, so there is no thin layer of molten shell.
In addition, their surface prints are different. Interaction between meteorites and atmospheric abortion. Its surface will leave many stripes and scratches. Just like a person's palm is printed on a surface. And this kind of ordinary stone is not available.
Their internal structures are still different. The internal structure of meteorites is somewhat similar to that of the earth. The contents of iron and nickel metals in each meteorite are also different, so the types of meteorites are also different. Ordinary stones are not that different.
Finally, Bian Xiao would like to say that they have different functions. Meteorites have a high collection value, after all, things are rare. It is because of scarcity that it is so precious. Meteorites also have practical value, and it is valuable for merchants to sell jewelry polished by meteorites on the market. It also has medicinal value. Mainly because meteorites contain more trace elements and minerals. Therefore, some diseases can be cured by meteorites. Meteorites also have preservation value. Just like gold. It is rare and precious in the market, and now many people use it to collect meteorites as a symbol of their own identity, which indirectly raises its value.
Ordinary stones can be used for fire, beauty and food. Drinking clear spring stone water can also regulate human metabolism, help to eliminate harmful substances accumulated in the body and purify human cells. If you drink it for a long time, it can play a role in prolonging life. In addition, ordinary stones can also be used to build houses, handicrafts and building materials.
To sum it up. You can see that meteorites are very different from ordinary stones.
