METEORITE ! SiC COMET GLASSY CARBON PRE SOLAR METEORITE ! 108.20 ct. - $30,000 - (Highland, CA)
THE ASTROID BELT ORIGIN.I had a discussion with the college that researched these Sic glass meteorite diamond stones . It was mentioned and questioned with in the discussion that these black stones came from the asteroid belt which is very interesting and reliable. It has not been confirmed that they come from Vesta that is a theory to realy look into but for now this is great to know the birth place of the meteorites. One of a kind Gem from space no others have been recovered anywhere around the world. This is a super large 113.00 ct. Pre - Solar Silicon Carbide Meteorite. 14.5 billion years old , 10 billion years before our galaxy and the existence of earth.The origins of Moissanite Silicon carbide (SiC) is even older than our solar system having wandered through the Milky Way for billions of years as stardust that was generated in the atmospheres of carbon rich red giant stars and from supernova remnants. The gravitational coalescence of our solar system trapped micron size silicon carbide grains in the meteorites that were forming from the accretion of the debris in clouds of interstellar gas. The discovery of these refractory grains has led to the unlocking of their cosmic chemical memory. This carbon glass meteorite contains SiC that formed the red carbon rich giant stars. stars and planets were formed from pre solar grains like these found inside the matrix. UPDATE...further research was done. on 2-16 2018 testing at Cal Tech has reviled that they can only be carbonado impact diamonds !!! Glass is 5 in hardness and no tektite is harder than 5- 6 that great of a stretch in hardness from 5 to 10 it can only be described as Diamond. (Carbonado}Please read further. The pink corundum sapphire is scratched by the SiC glass polymorph diamond seen in the pink photo. They were tested at the Cal Tech University. SEM, XRF, ROMAN SCOPE TECHNOLOGY WHERE USED. photos are posted from test shots during SEM plus mapping was used to identify bulk mineral content. The XRF PR…
