As analyzed in the previous article , meteorites can fall anywhere on Earth, but most of them are very small in size, so not many people realize. But it is worth noting that Vietnam is one of the countries that have discovered the most meteorites in the world.
Quoting Master - Doctor Tran Hoang Tung (Hanoi Gemological Association) said, according to research documents of scientists, Vietnam is one of the countries with the most meteorites in the world. In Vietnam, there are many ways to call this stone such as meteorite, tektite, sky stone, meteorite jade...

According to All About Miracle Healing Minerals and All About Gems by Jasper Stone, meteorites are formed by the impact of asteroid debris on the earth's surface. This impact created a large explosion, the asteroid fragments and pieces of earth matter were melted, shot up into the air, and melted again due to friction with the atmosphere when Falling down, spinning in the air, creating countless special shapes.
According to research documents by David C. Knight (USA), many types of meteorites can be meteorite debris when falling through the atmosphere into the earth or formed by the impact of meteorites on earth, absorbing The energy from this collision creates the meteorite.
Through stratigraphic research and radioactive isotope analysis, the meteorite is about 10 million years old with the main composition of Silicon Dioxide (68 - 82%), the average size rarely exceeds 5 cm, and weighs about 500. g. Classified meteorites may have more weight. Today, there are mainly small meteorites, either made into jewelry or sold raw for collectors. Many people in the world of gem collectors, including local and foreign gem dealers, sometimes buy the wrong type of stone whose appearance resembles a meteorite. These types can be volcanic glass (obsidian), volcanic bombs, ash of pyrotechnics and a black gravel abundant in Yen Bai and Lam Dong areas.
In terms of appearance, meteorites are usually black in color similar to volcanic lava, but when broken, the meteorite has the clear nature of gems and has a bright brown color at the edges. On the surface of the meteorite, there are tiny holes and spots caused by traces of broken air bubbles and there are spiral lines that show that it has been cooled and solidified when falling in the atmosphere.
Beware of fake meteorites
Recently on the market appeared many meteorites weighing up to several tens of kilograms of unknown origin sold at "heavenly" prices. Buyers need to be careful with these types, it is possible that it is faked with fraudulent purposes. Since the meteorite was molten twice during the asteroid-earth collision, it did not burn up easily. Take a small meteorite and burn it under the flame of a gas stove, if it burns and has a burning smell, it means a fake meteorite.
Meteorites are low-energy rocks. If there is another type of meteorite with strong energy that breaks the mirror... it should not be brought home because its radioactive energy can cause health problems such as chromosomal abnormalities, cancer letters...
As with other gemstones, the value of meteorites depends on the size, weight, distinctive shape, and passion of the buyer. There are types that cost about 100,000 VND / kg, there are also types that collectors are willing to spend a few thousand dollars just to own a tablet of only a few hundred grams. Anyone can buy themselves a meteorite at jewelry stores, natural stones in Vietnam. In other Southeast Asian countries, it is sold at souvenir stalls for a few US dollars to tourists.
In fact, the special magical value of meteorites is the extraterrestrial origin or at least the source of its extraterrestrial energy absorption. But it has absolutely no magical features to the point of having to spend tens, even hundreds of billions of dong to own it, like scammers intentionally exaggerating. Through the stories of victims of meteorite trading scams, most of the people who spread the news that want to buy and those who have meteorites for sale are accomplices of each other. They concoct a script to get the greedy middleman in. In fact, this scam trick is old, crooks have used it in fraudulent transactions to buy and sell rhino horns, black copper, and the remains of American soldiers who died in battle ... which the press has published countless times.
