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)
