/kloc-in 0/6, the man picked up 40 "meteorites", and his wife ran away from home. Almost none of them were meteorites. How did this happen?

At 6 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, my son is still sleeping. 46-year-old Huang Xingyuan quietly went out with steamed bread and tea, rushed to Genting Mountain in Jintang County, and stepped on the wet dew to start his stone search. From 65438 to 2006, finding stones in the mountains has become a daily life in Huang Xingyuan. The stone-seeking journey is as short as one or two days and as long as half a month. During this time, he lived a rough life and paid no attention to the secular world.

In order to complete his meteorite dream, Huang Xingyuan almost gave up everything: falling out with his family and separating from his wife; Give up work and only do odd jobs in the stone-seeking room to make a living; Spend a lot of money and pile stones at home. ...

On May 8th, it was identified by professionals in Chengdu University of Technology Museum that the "giant meteorite" that Huang Xingyuan was obsessed with "does not have the structural characteristics of meteorites". 65438+2006' s stone-seeking trip almost fell through. "You shouldn't make meteorites, which will split the family. It is most important for a family to live in harmony. " When I woke up, Huang Xingyuan had some regrets. ...

"Take a gamble and you will get rich." Spend 1.2 million yuan to buy 300 Jin of "Shi Tian"

Chenghua district LAM Raymond Road Refractory Xinyuan Community is an old community, and the surrounding houses have been demolished. On May 8th, Huang Xingyuan looked at a pile of stones at home, lost in thought. On the balcony of the room, there are more than 40 stones, large and small. "I picked it up on the mountain"; In the bedroom at home, there is also a "baby stone" weighing more than 300 kilograms, which is the biggest harvest of collecting meteorites/KLOC-0 in Huang Xingyuan for six years. "I bought this meteorite in 2004 for 6.5438+0.2 million yuan, weighing more than 300 kilograms." He proudly told Chengdu Business Daily that meteorites are priceless. At present, it is sold by grams, and each gram is about 100 yuan. His "baby" can be regarded as sky-high price. Huang Xingyuan was interested in meteorites from the beginning, and later became more and more addicted. In 16, he searched for a road of stone collection, such as a dream in Conan. He said that 200 1 saw foreign programs on TV, which mentioned that meteorites have high investment value and will appreciate in the future. Hearing this opportunity to make money, he began to concentrate on studying meteorites, went to the antique market to inquire, and bought books in bookstores. Unfortunately, there was not much information about meteorites at that time. The first intimate contact with the "meteorite" is coming soon. In 2004, Huang Xingyuan met a 60-year-old man in Genting Mountain, Jintang County, who was selling a Shi Tian. Huang Xingyuan recalled that the old man told him that this painting "Shi Tian" was previously enshrined in a temple.

With the knowledge of meteorites taught by himself, Huang Xingyuan thought this "Shi Tian" was a meteorite after many observations. "Take a gamble and you will become rich." Persuaded by the old man, he bought this "Shi Tian" weighing more than 300 kilograms for1.2000 yuan. "At that time, I was young and wanted to get rich, hoping to get rich overnight." 1.2000 yuan, you can buy a house in Chengdu, but Huang Xingyuan does not regret it, thinking that this investment will definitely get a high return.

Looking for meteorites

Looking for stones over mountains and mountains

40 "meteorites" recovered from 16.

The Shi Tian, which cost 6.5438+0.2 million yuan, started Huang Xingyuan's stone-seeking journey. From then on, he discovered the "new continent" of meteorite collection like Columbus discovered the new continent, and soon became addicted to it. "The book says that as long as there are meteorites in one place, there will definitely be small meteorites scattered around." As a result, he began to "search for stones" in Genting Mountain, Paoshan Mountain and Jintang Mountain in Jintang County all the year round. Every time I look for a stone, I look like an ascetic. Before dawn, he went out with dry food on his back, and after arriving at his destination, he kept burying his head in search. When he is hungry, he eats dry food. I'm thirsty, have a sip of boiling water ... I won't go home until evening. I went again the next morning, day after day, and it took ten days and a half months to look for it every time. But returning empty-handed is commonplace, and "waste meteorites" are often picked up. "These are all crooked meteorites, which I picked up when I didn't understand in the early days." Huang Xingyuan pointed to the stones piled up on the window guardrail and said that among these "meteorites", there are glass blocks, scrap iron and manganese, all kinds. "There were no detours in those years."

Huang Xingyuan began to teach himself about meteorites. He has only received primary education. He looked at the pictures of meteorites and read articles related to meteorites on the Internet, thinking that he had mastered some basic characteristics of meteorites. "You see, these meteorites have elemental iron, and meteorites must have this." He put the magnet on the stone, and the magnet was quickly absorbed; He also showed a "meteorite" weighing more than 300 kilograms. "There are reflective metal points inside, and there are molten shells and air traces on the outer surface ... these are the characteristics of meteorites." After years of research, Huang Xingyuan thought that he was very familiar with the characteristics of meteorites and could tell at a glance. So he firmly believes that the 40 stones in his home are meteorites. These "meteorites" are treasures to him. "I never doubted that I would take it out as soon as I got up every day."

Stone-turning idiot

Quit your job and find a meteorite.

The wife ran away from home with her daughter.

Collecting meteorites, Huang Xingyuan has become "crazy". He used to be a base station repairman in a company, and his income was considerable. As early as the 1990s, he had already bought houses in Chengdu and Jintang. After being fascinated by meteorites, he often doesn't go to work, because it takes ten and a half months to go up the mountain to find stones. "This kind of situation is more, the unit has opinions. In the end, there is no way but to do nothing. " In 2004, Huang Xingyuan resigned from his job. After resigning, he devoted himself to the "career" of finding meteorites. From 2004 to 20 1 1 year, he spent most of his time looking for meteorites and occasionally did odd jobs to maintain his basic living expenses. He not only lost his job, but also lost his family. In 2004, when he brought home the "Shi Tian" that he bought for 6.5438+200,000 yuan, his wife Zhou Yuhua had a big fight with him. "She said it was iron slag, which was worthless at all." There have been countless quarrels between them because of the meteorite. In 2004, the two separated, the wife took her daughter to live in Jintang, and he took his son to live in Chengdu.

"At that time, he was completely fascinated and didn't listen at all." Zhou Yuhua recalled that they were very happy and had a pair of children. Huang Xingyuan had a regular job and they lived a good life. Since Huang Xingyuan fell in love with meteorites, the whole person became crazy. Not only did he spend 1.2 million yuan to buy a rotten stone, but he didn't go to work. For at least half a month, he went to the mountains to look for stones every day. At that time, the children were only six or seven years old, and Zhou Yuhua had to take care of them. Huang Xingyuan hasn't come home to work for a long time, and he has no living expenses. Life is very difficult. Whenever Huang Xingyuan came back from picking up meteorites, the two men would have a big fight. Finally, she left Jintang with her daughter and found a job to live alone. She said that over the years, relatives and friends often advised the two to make up, but she didn't want to, "I don't care about him, I can do whatever I want." In the eyes of relatives and friends, Huang Xingyuan's behavior is also difficult to understand. "You pick up some discarded steel slag and don't want the harvester."

Experts from Chengdu University of Technology

Preliminary identification-

Almost none of the stones in his collection have the structural characteristics of meteorites.

On the afternoon of May 8th, Chen Zhigang, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily and a professional from Chengdu University of Technology Museum, came to Huang Xingyuan's home to preliminarily identify his 40 "meteorites". Seeing the arrival of the experts, Huang Xingyuan excitedly took out the 300kg "meteorite" collected in 16. "My meteorite is bigger than that of your museum."

Chen Zhigang observed that part of the surface of this boulder has been oxidized, but the meteorite will not be oxidized. At the same time, there are no traces of burning and air (referring to the shape similar to fingerprints left by the interaction between meteorites and large airflow). In addition, when checking the cross section of this stone, it was found that the weight did not meet the meteorite standard.

Then, Chen Zhigang took out a meat cleaver and a white porcelain plate and carved them on the stone, leaving traces on the surface of the stone, and observed the metal substance with a magnifying glass. "Meteorites don't leave streaks." Chen Zhigang said that there are some metal spots on the surface of the boulder, but the interior is honeycomb, and the meteorite should be a dense solid.

Chen Zhigang introduced the method of meteorite identification, which needs to meet five conditions: first, whether the rock specimen has black molten crust; The second is whether it is a dense solid; Third, whether it is heavier than ordinary stones of the same size; Fourth, whether it can be attracted by magnets; Fifth, whether it is made of metal or whether metal spots can be seen on the section, section or polished surface of the specimen. "If the above conditions are met, it may be a meteorite. If most or all of them do not meet, then it is not. "

According to the preliminary appraisal, Chen Zhigang said that this "meteorite" with a weight of more than 300 kilograms collected by Huang Xingyuan does not completely conform to the structural characteristics of meteorites, and it has no black molten shell, is not a dense solid and lacks weight. At the same time, there is no historical record of meteorite falling in Chengdu Plain. "If he still wants to identify, he can send the slices to a professional appraisal agency for technical appraisal." In addition, Chen Zhigang also identified the remaining stones, which almost do not have the structural characteristics of meteorites, including iron ore, copper ore, hibiscus and steel slag. ...
