Hello all,
I have a question regarding streak testing meteorites. Supossedly, a
meteorite will not leave a streak when tested. I have a known meteorite I
bought (Nantan) and it leaves a red/Brown streak bigger than life. This is
supposed to indicate Hematite. What's the deal with this test?
The meteorite was bought from the Rice Museum of Rocks & Minerals so I have
no reason to believe it's not was it was supposed to be.
???,
Cj (Peanut)
