I've done some nickel tests on some of the slag/meteor wrongs we have found.
It tests positive for nickel.
Does this sound normal?
So I guess the only way to confirm slag (if you can't do it visually)
is to cut it open and if there are holes / bubbles then it is slag. Or
if the slice doesn't

This report came from a farmer. I don't have an answer for it (its
probably BS), but I wanted to throw it out there.
Guy is in the area. He had some meteor wrongs. While I was there, he
said he had noticed a strange 'orange/rust colored dust' that showed
up one day covering the top of one of his
The test I used was a Nickel allergy test I bought online.

If you can recommend a better test kit, please fwd me the link.
I used some vinegar on the rock for a few minutes and then tested the
vinegar. It turned the swab bright red.
Dear List,
I am seeking help with busting a counterfeit selling ring on Ebay (NOT
related to meteorites). I need help from individuals to report their activity.
Thank you. Dirk Ross...Tokyo
Please contact me offlist. Thank you.

Hi, Mike, List,
My first suggestion would be that it comes
from the (seasonal) passage of large insect
swarms. No idea as to species, but it might
be a variant of the famous Yellow Rain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_rain
Since the color comes from pollen and the
color of the pollen varies
It's Agent Orange. Stay away from it. I sprayed it all over the Nam. It kills.
First it chemically castrates you.
Guido ;o)

Mike:
I have used the nickel allergy test as well and it did not seem to be that
reliable. I had an iron meteorite and it did not test positive for nickel.
However, I did have a small nugget of nickel where it did test positive. Maybe
there needs to be a high concentration in the metal.
Does any one on the list 'know' of a reliable way to test for nickel?
I don't know if the average person can acquire the various chemicals, but
in the back of O. Richard Norton's book Rocks From Space, there is the
recipe to making up a test for nickel found in meteorites. On the side I
Hey Mike,
I've used the nickel allergy test as well with mixed results.
Sometimes is works sometimes it doesn't. In fact I would say it is not
reliable most of the time unless you have a good control specimen.
I kept getting false positives and even negative results on known
meteorites. In

I've also had mixed results with the nickel allergy kit, but I think I've
figured out how to get reasonably reliable results.
I think the problem is that the companies who make these things probably
have liability lawyers telling them to err on the side of false positives

No, it's the DNA of space aliens delivered by panspermia, just like that red
dust found in india a while back.
(or more likely, what you said, something they never noticed before or what
Sterling said...which I think is what the alien DNA truned out to be in India)

Orange skies and dust fallouts are not that uncommon in Florida this time of
year. The dust comes from the Sahara.

I suspect that this is a much greater amount to leave a coating as described.
I'd guess it is much
Yeah, I made this mental link too, although I hear the dust over cities in
Australia is red, isn't it? That, also is known to come from the outback desert.
I remember as a child, dust form the Sahara being blown up to Northern Europe.
I even remember seening it on the headlights of a car that

On TV a bit ago, a 74 year old man in Australia said he that he had

Glad you found it useful. I wanted to share too that native iron
reacts real close to the same as a meteorite will to the magnetism.
So you might want to watch for that.I sent one of about 20 some
pieces of native iron I have to AZ to a lab and they confirmed that
that is what it is.
