  • Possible meteorite sphere??

    I found this in field last week only picked because it was round, it’s heavy for it’s size I did a scratch on it today left a mark on first two passes none on the third. Any ideas?

    Hematite sphere? Don't slice it. If it's meteorite it's $$$. Have someone in professional geology look at it.

      Most definitely not a meteorite. 100% certain about that, I’m not the world’s expert by any stretch, but I have collected meteorites for some 40 years. I cannot identify it for you, but we can at least eliminate meteoritic in origin.

        Almost looks like pyrope garnet from the Blue Ridge. Heavy sorta reddish. Scratch plate time.
