Hello,
Saying that a rock is a meteorite simply because it is attracted to a magnet is
wrong. A magnet is only the first of many tests you must do before you can say
that a rock is "perhaps" a meteorite. But you will not know for sure until it
has been analyzed by a specialized lab.
I recommend you study this site very carefully.

Subject: [meteorite-list] What's matter with this idea of what meteroite is?
Hi all,
My idea is any rock that attracts a cheap magenet, which is not a human
by-product or an ore that contains magnetite(mostly hematite, limonite, basalt,
graphite) is not a terrestrial rock. It's a meterorite. The difference between
a meteorite and a magnetic terrestrial rock is the latter attracts iron and
nickle too but the former dose not.
Is this idea right?
I work under this idea, yet, many hunters say the meteroites I collected are
not meteroite because they do not look alike a meterorite. And they of course
they are not under This Idea. Mostly they say the Same as this many terrestrial
rock also attract magnet.
Thanks
Yan
