Hello everybody, and welcome back to Stones&Bones. In this podcast, we'll be talking about meteorites. While meteorites aren't technically a gemstone, they're a very interesting rock and I thought that mixing it up every once in a while wouldn't hurt. Anyways, meteorites are a rock that has had a huge impact on the Earth's history and life as we know it. If the meteor that caused the Cretaceous extinction period would've veered just a bit more to the right or slowed down just a bit, we could've been living with dinosaurs! I hope you enjoy!

Hello everybody, and welcome back to Stones&Bones. In this podcast we'll be talking about Amber. Amber is something that is so unique and different, and because of that is really just stands out from any other fossil.  Amber is a very pretty fossil that is extremely valuable, but with that it comes with fakes. Amber might be the most faked fossil of all time. It might even be the most naturally made thing ever for that matter. Amber is very valuable when it comes in a big chunk, so this leads many people to try and fake it and attempt to make a bit of money. Some people however have made ways to determine if your Amber is real, and it really has helped a good amount of people. I hope you enjoy!
