玻璃隕石,是一種天然玻璃物質。由于外觀似黑曜巖,故又稱似黑曜巖。但兩者的成分、結構都不同。中國古代稱之為雷公墨。唐代劉恂著《嶺表錄異》曾有記載。玻璃隕石內常含有氣泡空腔,大小由幾微米至幾毫米,個別可達幾厘米。還含有焦石英、柯石英、斜鋯石和隕石中常見的鐵鎳金屬等包體。
玻璃隕石是某種石隕石降落過程中融化的液質冷卻后的產物。玻璃隕石的母石為淡綠色和黑色兩種,因此,玻璃隕石的降落都是與母石共同進行的。
玻璃隕石是宇宙中偏離運行軌道的小行星互相碰撞的碎塊,被地球引力瞬間吸引進入大氣層劇烈燃燒,統稱為流星。它們大多數在距地面10到40里的高空就已燃盡,即便落在地上也難找到。而沒有燃燒完落到地上,就形成了隕石。
看到這個名字,我們肯定會聯想到玻璃,所以我們可能在猜想這種寶石可以有玻璃般的光澤,也可能有脆弱的結構,但是當我們看到這種寶石的時候,才發現我們所有的猜想都是錯誤的。這種寶石沒有像玻璃那樣的外觀和結構,它就像普通的寶石那樣子。這種寶石的形成可不是什么地底下千萬年形成的,而是太空的隕石降落而形成的,所以從某個角度上來說,這種寶石其實價值更高。
玻璃隕石通體呈黑色,油亮且有光澤,布滿致密的小氣泡,外部有融殼,融殼上有流紋, 外部和融殼下有時會產生大的氣印。質地上乘,是難得的稀世珍品,它對天文的研究和探索有著 重大的意義,更具有極大的收藏價值。
此組共三枚玻璃隕石,總重量為:315.5g。隕石之上,通體呈黑色,油亮且有光澤,留有流星下落穿過大氣層受摩擦時所產生高溫燃燒后的痕跡與微小的氣孔,以及流紋和流線。
Excellent recommendation: Glass meteorite group I (three)
Glass meteorite is a kind of natural glass material. Because it looks like obsidian, it is also called Obsidian like. But they are different in composition and structure. In ancient China, it was called LEIGONGMO. Liu Xun of Tang Dynasty wrote the record of different mountains. Glass meteorites often contain bubble cavities, ranging in size from a few microns to a few millimeters, and a few to a few centimeters. It also contains inclusions such as pyroquartz, coesite, zircon and iron nickel metal which are common in meteorites.
Glass meteorite is the product of liquid cooling during the falling process of some kind of meteorite. The mother rocks of glass meteorites are light green and black. Therefore, the falling of glass meteorites is carried out together with the mother rocks.

Glass meteorites are fragments of asteroids that deviate from the orbit of the universe and collide with each other. They are attracted by the earth's gravity to enter the atmosphere and burn violently. Most of them burn out at a height of 10 to 40 miles from the ground, which is hard to find even if they land on the ground. Instead of burning and falling to the ground, a meteorite is formed.
Seeing this name, we will definitely associate with glass, so we may be guessing that this kind of gem can have glass like luster or fragile structure, but when we see this kind of gem, we find that all our guesses are wrong. This kind of gem doesn't have the appearance and structure like glass. It's just like ordinary gem. The formation of this kind of gem is not formed in tens of millions of years under the ground, but formed by the falling of meteorites in space, so from a certain point of view, this kind of gem is actually of higher value.
The whole glass meteorite is black, bright and glossy, full of small dense bubbles, with melting shell on the outside, with flow lines on the melting shell, and sometimes there are large air marks on the outside and under the melting shell. High quality is a rare rare treasure, which is of great significance to the research and exploration of astronomy and has great collection value.
There are three glass meteorites in this group with a total weight of 315.5g. Above the meteorite, the whole body is black, shiny and glossy, leaving traces of high temperature combustion and tiny pores, as well as streaks and streamlines when meteors fall through the atmosphere and suffer friction.
