石陨石是来自大气层外的神秘坠物，带着光芒划过天空，引人遐想。几乎所有古代文明都留有关于陨石的记载，一些民族和宗教还将陨石视为圣物，相比之下，我国古人对于陨石的看法则较为客观。早在先秦时期，《左传》中就著有：“陨石，星也”。时至北宋，政治家、科学家沈括曾在《梦溪笔谈》中记载了“于宜兴县民许氏园中”坠落的一枚陨石，称“其大如拳，一头微锐，色如铁，重亦如之”。 据悉，每年降落到地球上的陨石有20多吨，数量有两万多块，其中99%以上是石陨石和铁陨石，石铁陨石只占几乎0.3%左右的比例，换句话说，每年降落到地球上的石铁陨石只有60块左右，其中有一部分陨落在大海，一部分不能被人类发现珍藏，还有一部分被收藏在大型博物馆中。物以稀为贵，正因为此，石铁陨石的商业价值极高，即使是大收藏家，能够收藏到石铁陨石的也寥寥无几。
中国是世界上最早记录陨石的国家，《春秋》记：“(鲁僖公)十有六年，春，王正月戊申朔，陨石于宋五。”文中此极其罕见的石陨石：通体呈暗红色，似铁非铁，似石非石，其色浑然天成，独具特色；硫烧痕迹清晰可见，可见银白色颗粒。外表裹着一层黑色的氧化层，叫熔壳；表面分布的许多大大小小的圆坑，叫做气印;此外还有形状各异的沟槽，叫做熔沟，并存在十分醒目的熔流线;这些都是由于它们陨落过程中与大气剧烈摩擦燃烧而形成的。在高倍放大镜下观察该陨石，有明显的晶状颗粒，整块陨石溶壳完整，比重极大，造型规整，它就是具备极高的艺术观赏性及收藏价值！
此陨石整体形状极佳，陨石肌肤表面颜色以黑色为主。正反两面比较平滑，陨石肌肤表面呈现自然的熔流纹，方向一致少量的熔流槽与众多的熔流线痕迹。有陨石坠落时形成头尾方向相一致的定向特征。陨石肌肤前端有明显的冲（撞）击小熔坑，气印明显。
最近十年，随着陨石知识的日益普及，想收藏的不断增多，奇货可居，国内叫价有时甚至远高于国际价格。世界上众多的博物馆和研究机构也对陨石充满了极大的兴趣，一直致力于对其所处星体和时代的研究，进一步促进了陨石经济价值的提升。目前陨石市场上，各类陨石受追捧，根据陨石的主要成分不同，价位也不同，陨石的科学研究价值高，数量罕见稀少，升值潜力无限，值得收藏。科研人员可以通过研究这些陨石对早期宇宙了解更多，科研价值极高，真正的一石千金。
Meteorites are mysterious objects from outside the atmosphere, shining across the sky and evoking imagination. Almost all ancient civilizations have records of meteorites, and some ethnic and religious groups consider them sacred objects. In contrast, the ancient Chinese people had a more objective view of meteorites. As early as the pre Qin period, the Zuo Zhuan wrote: "Meteorites, stars.". By the Northern Song Dynasty, politician and scientist Shen Kuo had recorded in his book "Mengxi Bitan" a meteorite that fell "in the Xu Family Garden of Yixing County," stating that "it was as big as a fist, with a slightly sharp head, as colored as iron, and as heavy as it.". It is reported that over 20 tons of meteorites fall on Earth each year, with a quantity of over 20000 pieces. More than 99% of them are meteorites and iron meteorites, with iron meteorites accounting for almost 0.3% of the total. In other words, only about 60 iron meteorites fall on Earth each year, some of which fall into the ocean, some cannot be discovered or collected by humans, and some are collected in large museums. Rare things are precious, and precisely because of this, the commercial value of iron meteorites is extremely high. Even large collectors can only collect iron meteorites.
China is the country that recorded meteorites the earliest in the world. The Spring and Autumn Annals record: "In the sixth year of the tenth lunar month of the reign of Duke Xi of Lu, in spring, on the day of Wang Zhengyue and Wu Shenshuo, the meteorite occurred during the Song and Five Dynasties period." This extremely rare meteorite is described in the text as having a dark red color, resembling iron rather than iron, and resembling stone rather than stone, with a natural and unique color; The sulfur burn marks are clearly visible, with silver white particles visible. The exterior is wrapped in a black oxide layer, called a molten shell; The many large and small circular pits distributed on the surface are called air marks; In addition, there are various shaped grooves called melt grooves, which have very prominent melt lines; These are all formed due to their violent friction and combustion with the atmosphere during the process of falling. Observing the meteorite under a high-power magnifying glass, there are obvious crystalline particles. The entire meteorite has a complete melting shell, a high specific gravity, and a regular shape. It has extremely high artistic and collectible value!
The overall shape of this meteorite is excellent, and the surface color of the meteorite skin is mainly black. The front and back sides are relatively smooth, and the surface of the meteorite skin presents natural flow lines, with a small number of flow grooves and numerous flow line marks in the same direction. When a meteorite falls, it forms a directional feature with consistent head and tail directions. The front end of the meteorite skin has obvious small impact pits and obvious air marks.
In the past decade, with the increasing popularity of meteorite knowledge, there has been an increasing number of people who want to collect rare items. Domestic prices are sometimes even much higher than international prices. Numerous museums and research institutions around the world are also very interested in meteorites, and have been committed to studying their celestial bodies and eras, further promoting the economic value of meteorites. At present, various types of meteorites are highly sought after in the meteorite market. Depending on the main components of meteorites, their prices also vary. Meteorites have high scientific research value, are rare and rare in quantity, have unlimited appreciation potential, and are worth collecting. Researchers can learn more about the early universe by studying these meteorites, which have extremely high research value and are truly precious.
