Glass meteorites are mysterious objects from outside the atmosphere. They are called extraterrestrial rocks. They are rare and precious. Naturally, some people like to collect them. They fly across the sky with light and attract people's imagination. Almost all ancient civilizations have left records of meteorites. Some ethnic groups and religions still regard meteorites as sacred objects. In contrast, the ancient Chinese view of meteorites is more objective. As early as the pre Qin period, Zuo Zhuan has written meteorites and stars. Up to the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo, a statesman and scientist, recorded in Mengxi graphology that "a meteorite that fell in the Xu's garden of Yixing county was as big as a fist, as sharp as a head, as iron as color, as heavy as it is." In recent years, the collection circle of glass meteorites is expanding day by day. In addition, it is very rare, and its value is rising constantly, which has set off a wave of glass meteorite collection upsurge.

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。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。一般認為，玻璃隕石是巨大的隕石或彗核撞擊地球，使地球表層巖石熔融高速濺出坑外急速冷卻而成。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。

Glass meteorite is a kind of natural glass material. Because it looks like obsidian, it is also called Obsidian like. 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. It is generally believed that glass meteorites are formed by the impact of giant meteorites or cometary nuclei on the earth, which makes the rocks on the earth's surface melt at a high speed and splash out of the crater. There are two kinds of mother rocks, light green and black. Therefore, the falling of glass meteorite is carried out together with the mother rock.

近兩年，中國己躋身世界上少數幾個對隕石開展綜合研究的國家，期望在隕石中尋找到更多外星生命痕跡，直接導致了隕石收藏熱在民間的悄然升起。同時，由于泰國、東南亞等國和西藏的高僧把隕石稱為“天鐵”,做成護身符和金剛杵等法器進行修煉，再加上珠三角地區的收藏愛好者把隕石叫做“運石”，并把其當做護身符隨身佩戴等等原因，隕石開始被一些人當做珍寶一樣收藏起來。數量稀少及市場的追捧是促成隕石收藏價格飆升的重要原因。玻璃隕石可以保持數以十億計年份基本保持不變。科研人員可以通過研究這些隕石對早期宇宙了解更多，科研價值極高，一些發達國家必爭之物，形成如今玻璃隕石瘋漲局勢，真正的一石千金。玻璃隕石，被稱為“天外來石”，稀有珍貴，自然有人愛好收藏。近幾年，國內漸漸興起了一股玻璃隕石收藏熱潮。三四年間，不僅玻璃隕石的價格飆升，國內玻璃隕石收藏市場也日漸成形。四五年前，玻璃隕石所帶來的經濟價值還不為人所熟知。

In recent two years, China has become one of the few countries in the world that carry out comprehensive research on meteorites, expecting to find more traces of alien life in meteorites, which directly leads to the rise of meteorite collection in the private. At the same time, because the eminent monks in Thailand, Southeast Asia and Tibet called the meteorites "Tiantie" and made them into talismans, Vajra pestles and other magic weapons for cultivation, plus the collectors in the Pearl River Delta called the meteorites "Yunshi" and used them as the reasons for wearing the talismans, etc., meteorites began to be collected as treasures by some people. The scarcity of meteorites and the pursuit of the market are the important reasons for the soaring price of meteorite collection. Glass meteorites can remain basically the same for billions of years. Researchers can learn more about the early universe by studying these meteorites, which is of high scientific research value. Some developed countries must contend for it to form the current situation of glass meteorites skyrocketing, a real stone of gold. Glass meteorites, known as "tianwaishi", are rare and precious, and some people like to collect them. In recent years, an upsurge of glass meteorite collection has emerged in China. In the past three or four years, not only the price of glass meteorites has soared, but also the domestic glass meteorite collection market has gradually taken shape. Four or five years ago, the economic value of glass meteorites was unknown.
