Most of us probably have seen meteors or shooting stars. A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. Meteor refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself. The debris is called a meteoroid. A meteoroid is a piece of interplanetary matter that is smaller than a kilometer and frequently only millimeters in size. Most meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporize completely and never reach the planet's surface. If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
Meteorites do not contain any substantial amount of quartz, whereas quartz is common in many terrestrial rocks. Quartz is harder than any of the common minerals in meteorites. Quartz is so hard that it will easily make a deep scratch in glass.Even if you press hard, a meteorite will at best only make a weak scratch mark. (Use a sharp edge of the rock.). In the photo above, the top scratch was made with a quartz crystal.ottom Line: If you have a rock that bites into glass and makes a scratch mark like the two at the top of the photo above, then it contains quartz and it is not a meteorite. If your rock does not make a scratch, then the rock is still probably not a meteorite because many terrestrial rocks do not contain quartz.
