Identity Help

This group contains current requests for identity help. Can you help answer these questions? If you are able to help please do.

Please don't reply if you're just guessing about something, only reply if you can genuinely help, thank you!

Also, if you want to show additional photos of the same sample, please don't start a new thread for those... just "reply" to yourself in your original thread and include a new photo in your reply. You can do that as many times as necessary to show all the photos you want to show.

Please note. We are unable to help with meteorite identifications.
