Peter, I think MikeG. wrote a very kind reply trying to help you out. And he's correct, there are no granite meteorites. You would do well to follow his advice. My own opinion is that you have some low resolution photos of rusty rocks which I'm doubtful are meteorites. You'll need to shoot higher

Greetings, It doesn't matter what a real meteorite is to these type of people. They believe that what they have is a meteorite and we are all plotting against them. They think we are trying to cheat them out of their specimen worth millions of dollars. You can't reason with insanity by

Mike, I think your approach is great for novices. I know that not only you but many professional meteoricists have your hardline, barely logical, if so, preconceived, paper form reply, when, of course, it is an odd inheritor of the mantle of people who once said meteorites did not even exist,

Hi Peter, It's hard to tell from the photos, but I do not see any outward signs that would suggest these rocks might be meteorites. I do not see any fusion crust, and what I do see is probably desert varnish. Desert varnish forms on all rocks, not just meteorites. Have you done a streak test

Hello Michael, no, but I will pass the Actlabs information on to any representatives of accredited institutions who inquire. The stone is a granite, and the photos may not tell the story of the crust glaringly, but it is apparently what is there, for those of us (me only right now) who have the
