Do you think you found a meteorite? While testing a specimen is the only definitive method of confirming a meteorite, this graphic will help guide your decision to have a specimen tested or not. Many terrestrial rocks or minerals do look like meteorites!

If your specimen passes the test, email us and we will send you information on testing!

Maine Mineral & Gem Museum posts -
This is a great opportunity to learn more about the lithium deposit in Newry. See the post below for details!

Join us for a virtual workshop on the geology of Newry's lithium depsoit, April 24, 6:30 on Zoom.

Join Myles F***h of the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum as he discusses recent USGS-funded bedrock mapping efforts surrounding the Plumbago North pegmatite (PbN) in Newry and explains the geology of the deposits that host the lithium-bearing mineral, spodumene. He will place the PbN deposit in context with other types of lithium deposits globally and provide an overview of how hardrock spodumene deposits are quarried and processed. He will also touch on Maine's current metallic mining law and explain how the Plumbago North deposit is not a sulfide-bearing mineral deposit. There will be plenty of time for questions.

Myles F***h is a curator and geologist at the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum in Bethel, Maine. He holds two geology degrees and specializes in granitic pegmatites, especially those located in Maine.

Contact CEBE for the Zoom link.
