Friends in the world who like to pay attention to meteorites and collect meteorites know it! The largest and heaviest iron meteorite in the world is now stored in the exhibition hall of Xinjiang Geology and Mineral Resources Department. More than one ton of Fukang olive meteorite was carved up in the United States and scattered in exhibition halls or safes of many people who like to collect meteorites all over the world ... The world-famous visitors from the outer solar system ... 4 kilograms of Mo Bao green meteorite was bought by a Beijing friend in China at a high price ... Now there is a rare meteorite in Hualingyu Meteorite Building in Urumqi, Xinjiang, with an offer price of 80 million yuan! Friends who like to collect high-grade meteorites can go to Hualing Baoyu meteorite market when they have time, and they will definitely gain something.
In the hands of meteorite collectors in Xinjiang, there are generally different types of meteorites such as iron meteorites, olive meteorites, colorful meteorites and iron meteorites. Octagonal iron-high nickel meteorite, all kinds of olive meteorite, for domestic; The decline is quite large. Meteorite meteorite gem, moon meteorite, should be the first in China!
I have worked in Xinjiang Geology and Mineral Resources for many years. I like to collect gem materials, Xinjiang Hetian jade materials and newly landed meteorite materials. After decades of silent discussion, I have gained a lot of knowledge and gained a lot!
Speaking of which; There must be friends who will say; What makes you say: The most beautiful and rare meteorite in the world is located in Xinjiang with beautiful appearance and excellent price? Why? Xinjiang is particularly large, and it is closest to the Arctic Circle (relative to domestic provinces). There are many large-scale magnetite in Xinjiang, which has many advantages, such as large desert area, vast Gobi desert, dry climate and suitable preservation of meteorite products, and has created the favorite meteorites of Xinjiang people.
Domestic meteorite collectors, hetian jade collectors, have the habit of following suit; Buy more, don't buy less. I didn't start collecting hetian jade in 2008. What is the price of Hetian jade now? Tall! Friends who really love collecting meteorites will think of a beautiful and distant place-Xinjiang when they see meteorites. You like to collect things ... beautiful and colorful meteorites.
The most beautiful meteorites in the world are actually in the hands of every collector and meteorite hunter! The meteorites in the world, whether they come from Xinjiang or not, are all beautiful and valuable for collection, because they all come from the farthest and most beautiful starry sky!
The largest and most beautiful meteorite in the world is in the Meteorite Museum in Jilin City, Jilin Province, China. This museum has a collection of meteorites from all over the world.
According to media reports, a fire broke out in the Meteorite Museum last year. The extent of the loss is unknown.
Although Xinjiang has the largest iron meteorite in the world, I think the most beautiful meteorite in the world is in Jilin, because thousands of people witnessed its falling process.
Jilin Museum has the largest stone meteorite in the world, known as Jilin No.1 meteorite, weighing 1770 kg. It's brown and black with air marks on it. It is the largest stone meteorite found in the world and belongs to the treasures of Jilin Museum. Meteorite Jilin-1 is beautiful because thousands of people witnessed the process that it drew a beautiful arc from the sky and fell to the earth.
1March 8, 976 15, an earthquake of magnitude10.5 occurred at the junction of Jilin city and Yongji county, which was caused by a meteor shower in this area. One of the meteorites, weighing 1770 kg, broke through the atmosphere and fell at the junction of Jilin City and Yongji County, leaving a crater with a diameter of 2 meters and a depth of 6.5 meters. Because it was daytime, thousands of people working at the scene witnessed the falling process of the meteorite. This time, "meteorite shower" fell within 500 kilometers. At that time, * * * collected 138 large meteorites with a total weight of 26 16 kg.
Although there are many meteorites in Xinjiang, and many of them are rare species, such as Mo Bao Green Meteorite. There were no witnesses when the meteorite fell. Thousands of people witnessed the fall of Jilin No.1 meteorite, which is also the meteorite with the largest number of witnesses in the world. Therefore, Jilin No.1 meteorite is the most beautiful meteorite in the world.
When you go to Jilin, you might as well go to Jilin Museum to see its beauty and witness its beauty.
The most beautiful meteorites in the world must be in Xinjiang, and the most meteorites in the world are also in Xinjiang. There is a saying in the world meteorite world that the world meteorite sees China and China meteorite and Xinjiang, and the place with the most meteorite hunters in the world is also in Xinjiang. Xinjiang is the cornucopia of China and the pride of Xinjiang people. Many peers complain that our fathers brought us to the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang, but I am proud of our fathers. It is a pride that we grew up in Xinjiang. We Xinjiang people are born with Populus euphratica spirit. We love this desert Gobi deeply and never want to leave it. It is this big Gobi that has made one miracle after another and one meteorite hunter after another. There is a little girl named Yang Kexin who has been hunting meteorites for five years, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers and hunting 600 meteorites, weighing about 400 kilograms. She opened a meteorite museum from Guizhou and gained great fame. China scientists often visit her. He has become a meteorite science pole. He's just a little meteor hunter. There are also large meteorite hunters in Xinjiang who have been hunting meteorites for more than 20 years. There are more than 30 kinds of meteorites. Large meteorite hunters are very low-key, and they have collected tens of thousands of strange stones. They have been picking up stones all their lives. There are countless stone pickers in Xinjiang, and there are hundreds of meteorite hunters. In this way, the team of meteorite hunters will continue to expand, and the future after 90 s and 00 s will belong to them. Beautiful new strength is a paradise for adventurers and an achievement.
When it comes to "beauty", it is difficult to grasp the standard, because beauty varies from person to person and aesthetics is subjective. As for Xinjiang mentioned by the subject, there is indeed a world-famous beautiful meteorite produced in Xinjiang, and it should be the most expensive meteorite in the world-Fukang meteorite. Let me introduce it below, but we can look at a few meteorites that are not ugly (all expensive) first.
Spring meteorite
This 1 17 pound olivine meteorite was discovered in a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada in 193 1 year. People think it has a history of 4.5 billion years and contains a lot of olivine. After slicing and polishing, beautiful olivine crystals can be clearly seen, making olivine meteorites very suitable for collection. Finally, it was bought by the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto (it is said to be worth about 5 1 1 000 euros), so the museum should not be too rich. But this meteorite is really beautiful.
Conceptually connected meteorite
Researchers believe that this meteorite was once part of an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered by a farmer in Missouri in 2006. It was identified as olivine meteorite by St. Louis University and contains olivine crystals. They are scattered throughout the iron-nickel matrix, just like preserves in cakes. This meteorite is worth 724,000 euros. It looks a little ugly on the outside, but some of the cut sections show the special patterns of olive meteorites, which makes people think. Apart from defeat, it seems more exciting than gold and jade.
Willamette meteorite
June 5438+October 2007 10, this meteorite fragment worth millions of euros was auctioned in new york and donated by the American Museum of Natural History (possibly a charity auction). It is believed that the original stone of this meteorite is one of the largest meteorites found on earth. It is found that at 1902, the weight of raw stone exceeds 16 tons. The slice of the auction is estimated at 85 1 0,000 euros.
Fukang meteorite
It can be roughly guessed from the name that it comes from China. Actually, it comes from Xinjiang, China. In 2000, someone found the original stone of this meteorite on the Gobi Desert in Xinjiang and tried to smuggle it out of the country. The result was divided and auctioned in the American market a few years later. It should be divided into many pieces, and there are many small ornaments supported by Fukang meteorite blocks on the Internet.
Above: Photos of suspected discovery of Fukang meteorite (although uncertain, Nongfu Spring and costumes can be roughly dated, and the hats of ethnic minorities in Xinjiang can also be roughly located).
This meteorite is an olive meteorite composed of nickel and iron, and its internal luster is very unique. The components around olivine (mainly iron and nickel) present a unique metallic silver color, which is very rare. Because scientists believe that only 1% of all meteorites falling on the earth are olivine meteorites.
Above: In order to give you a general idea of the texture of this meteorite, here is a clear photo of a small piece (weighing 33.8 grams) cut and polished by Fukang meteorite.
This meteorite is thought to have a history of 4.5 billion years, almost the same age as the earth. It is not only one of the most expensive meteorites in the world, but also one of the most beautiful meteorites, with the highest auction price reaching 6.5438+0.7 million euros. It should be the following one.
Above: An auction fragment of Fukang meteorite (estimated to be the largest and best-shaped piece) shows a very beautiful light in the sun. Why are humans so obsessed with this kind of thing?
Small science popularization of olive meteorite
Olive meteorite is a rare meteorite, which consists of centimeter-level olivine crystals and iron-nickel metal inlays. Up to now, there are only 6 1 olivine meteorites known in the world, of which 10 came from Antarctica and 4 were observed to fall.
It is believed that olivine meteorite originated from the core-mantle boundary of differentiated asteroids, and then it was crushed by external forces and scattered in space, captured by the gravity of the earth and fell to the ground. Another recent hypothesis is that they are a mixture of asteroid cores and mantle materials produced by the impact.

abstract
Beauty is caused by human desire. For scientists, the information contained in meteorites may be the most desirable. what do you think? Welcome to discuss in the comments section.
The most beautiful meteorite in the world is at the southernmost tip of China.
I don't know if it's a meteorite: ask the teacher for advice:
Look at my stone.
