Collect some big rocks from backyards, parks, sidewalks anywhere were you can find rocks. Have a hammer and gently pound on the rock several times until it cracks open. If crystals or gems fall out, be proud and keep them. If they don't, no crystals.

NOTE: Don't use the rocks that you can buy from HomeDepo for decoration because they DO NOT work!! No gems or crystals will fall out!!!

As we all know these rocks are formed at areas of high temperature and pressure. These rocks are ruch in minerals like sillimanite, kyanite, staurolite, andalusite, and some garnet.Other minerals, such as olivines, pyroxenes, amphiboles, micas, feldspars, and quartz. If we see any folded foliation or interlayering formation on the surface of the rock it is definitely a metamorphic rock

Rocks that are in fact meteorites have a fusion crust on the outside. A fusion crust tiny cracks on the surface of the rock that formed as the meteorite crossed into the atmosphere.
