Which country has the most meteorites?
Antarctica has the most meteorites due to its icy surface that preserves them well. Scientists regularly find meteorites there, making it a hotspot for meteorite discoveries.
Are all meteorites attracted to magnet?
No, not all meteorites are attracted to magnets. Some meteorites contain iron and nickel, which are magnetic and will be attracted to magnets. However, other meteorites may not contain these elements and will not be attracted to magnets.
How many syllables are in the word meteorites?
There are four syllables in the word meteorites. Me-te-or-ites.
Processed meteorites with high metal content probably are?

Some meteorites that fell on Earth have been identified as having come from what other planet?
Mars. Some meteorites, known as Martian meteorites, have been identified as originating from Mars. These meteorites carry unique characteristics that link them to Mars, such as gas trapped within their mineral structures that matches the Martian atmosphere.
Do diamonds come from space?
There are some who claim that diamonds have landed on earth carried by meteorites. You can read more, below.

No. Some say that meteorites that fall to earth, which are formed way beyond the thermosphere, have been known to contain diamonds.

What is the only gem mineral found in space?
Diamonds and facet grade peridot have both been found in meteorites. Nickel-iron meteorites are also now being fashioned into jewelry items.
What mineral do diamonds come from?
Diamonds are made from carbon, which is an element. They are made within "kimberlite" rock - I do not know if kimberlite is a mineral, or not. Sometimes, diamonds are washed out of kimberlite by the weather, and can be found in placer (PLASS-uhr) deposits, that is, at or near the surface of the ground. There are also diamonds found in meteorites that fell to Earth perhaps 3.5 billion years ago.
What color are soot diamonds?
Soot is not a colour description of gem-quality diamonds. However, soot and diamonds are both formed by carbon.The colour of soot is usually grey or black. There are diamonds with a blue-grey cast, and there are black diamonds, known as carbonado.Another AnswerApparently, diamonds are formed by detonation, based on a report, linked below, where "...we report the formation of diamonds as a chemical product of the detonation process itself. The diamonds we observe are 4-7 nm in diameter and make up 25wt% of the soot; in size and infrared spectrum they resemble diamonds similarly isolated from meteorites."The colour of these diamonds is not given in the abstract published.
