Product details
Description
Discover the reliable way to screen suspected space rocks at home with the Nickel Alert Meteorite ID testing solution. Designed as the essential first step in meteorite identification, this specialized formula uses active dimethylglyoxime to accurately detect trace amounts of free nickel down to 10 parts per million.
Since roughly 95 percent of all meteorites contain nickel, this chemical spot test helps amateur rock hounds and collectors quickly differentiate between terrestrial stones and potential metallic or stony-iron space samples. The compact 0.5 ounce liquid dropper bottle provides enough capacity for up to 200 quick spot tests, making it a valuable addition to any rock collection or prospecting kit.
Simple to apply with ordinary cotton swabs, the solution yields clear visual results within seconds to guide whether your sample warrants formal laboratory verification.
How to use
- Wipe away dirt or surface debris from an inconspicuous spot on the rock.
- Put 2 drops of the testing solution onto a clean cotton swab.
- Press and rub the wet cotton swab firmly against the rock surface for 15 to 30 seconds.
- Look for a distinct pink-red color change on the cotton swab indicating the presence of nickel.

FAQs
What does your rock look like (color, shape, crust)?
True meteorites often feature a dark, smooth fusion crust, irregular shapes, and heavy density compared to ordinary earth rocks. Examining visual characteristics alongside chemical testing helps narrow down potential meteorite candidates.
Did it pass a magnet test?
Many metallic and stony-iron meteorites contain high concentrations of iron-nickel alloys and will strongly attract a magnet. While passing a magnet test is a good preliminary indicator, it is not a definitive proof on its own.
How do you ID a meteorite?
Identifying a meteorite involves checking for magnetic properties, assessing density, looking for a fusion crust or regmagpts, and performing a nickel spot test. Final classification requires professional laboratory analysis by a recognized institution.
Are these imported USA meteorite testing kits authentic on Dropy India?
Yes, Dropy India sources all beauty, personal care, and specialty testing products directly from official manufacturers and authorized distributors in the USA to guarantee 100 percent authenticity.
How do I get a meteorite tested?
