What are some examples of how these specimens were found?
@BalalBagherzade 1 year ago

Hello, in the flat land, it leads to a hill and a mountain to find a ten-centimeter-sized stone, which after eating the stone is iron rust inside, and black stones are found in it, and corona particles are visible on the black stones, and at the same time, it attracts magnets. It doesn't, I emphasize, it doesn't attract magnets and they are very hard and strong. Please advise if possible. I would appreciate it
