#WHERE TO SELL A METEORITE FREE#
This will help us determine the approximate amount of free Iron (Fe) in the material and how effective the XRF analysis will be for Meteoritical identification.Ĭontacting US: The STEP 1 Preliminary Photo Evaluation is the best way to initiate engagement with us. Please don't call us or email us, as we simply do not have the staff to handle direct phone calls or extended email communications about your sample. Using a relative scale of 0 to 10, indicate how the sample responds, with 0 being no response and 10 being equal to solid iron. These magnets are widely available and can be found at most Home Depot hardware stores and Hobby Lobby craft stores. Magnetic Response: in the "notes" section of the photo upload tool, please indicate the level of magnetic response to a neodymium magnet from: 0 to 10. Pictures should be sharp and each show the entire stone or sample and be clear enough to zoom in and see surface detail. To Begin: use the "Choose image" button above to upload up to 5 high resolution pictures in good lighting from several angles.

At times of high volume this can be extended to an 8 to 12 week delivery period. Geo Labs’ Preliminary photo evaluations can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to be completed and delivered. *Please note that evaluations are done on a first come first serve basis and evaluation and reports are completed by a part time volunteer resource. You may submit up to 5 images of the same sample for evaluation. The fee for Preliminary Photo Evaluation of a suspected meteorite is: $50 per sample and is non-refundable.

***Please note, most samples are NOT approved for physical submission. We do not accept physical samples without a preliminary visual (photo) inspection of a sample.
