隕石，被稱為“天外來石”，是一種天然玻璃物質。在古代，人們往往把隕石當做聖物。比如，古羅馬人把隕石當做神的使者，他們在隕石墜落的地方蓋起鐘樓來供奉。匈牙利人則把隕石抬進教堂，用鏈子把它鎖起來，以防這個“神的禮物”飛回天上。伊斯蘭教聖地麥加也有一塊隕石，被視為“聖石”。
Meteorites, known as "extraterrestrial rocks", are natural glass materials. In ancient times, meteorites were often regarded as sacred objects. For example, the ancient Romans used meteorites as messengers of gods. They built bell towers where meteorites fell to worship them. Hungarians carried the meteorite into the church and chained it up to prevent the "gift of God" from flying back into the sky. There is also a meteorite in the Islamic holy land of Mecca, which is regarded as a "holy stone".
現在科學研究證明，玻璃隕石是某種石隕石降落過程中融化的液質冷卻後的產物。玻璃隕石的母石為淡綠色和黑色兩種，因此，玻璃隕石的降落都是與母石共同進行的。
Now scientific research has proved that glass meteorite is the product of melting liquid cooling during the landing process of some kind of meteorite. The mother stone of glass meteorite is light green and black, so the landing of glass meteorite is carried out together with the mother stone.
玻璃隕石是一種天然玻璃物質。由於外觀似黑曜岩，故又稱似黑曜岩。但兩者的成分、結構都不同。大多數玻璃隕石的形狀與熔融濺射物的形狀相似，有球狀、細長狀、啞鈴狀、液滴狀、鈕釦狀和不規則的塊狀等。它成群地撒落在大陸上或海底沉積物中。
Glass meteorite is a natural glass material. Because it looks like obsidian, it is also called obsidian. But their composition and structure are different. Most of the glass meteorites are spherical, slender, dumbbell-shaped, droplet-shaped, button-shaped and irregular massive. It is scattered in groups in continental or submarine sediments.
玻璃隕石為半透明的玻璃質體，有微弱磁性，顏色為墨綠色、綠色，淡綠色，棕色，褐色，深褐色，還有少見的硃砂色。比重為2.6至3.0左右。玻璃隕石是在高空、高溫、高壓和高速下形成的，所以它有明顯的形成特證：內部高純度無雜質，通體佈滿緻密的小氣泡，外部有融殼，融殼上有流紋，外部和融殼下有時會產生大的氣印。
Glass meteorites are translucent vitreous bodies with weak magnetic properties. Their colours are dark green, green, light green, brown, brown, dark brown and rare cinnabar. The specific gravity is about 2.6 to 3.0. Glass meteorite is formed at high altitude, high temperature, high pressure and high speed, so it has obvious formation characteristics: high purity and impurity-free inside, full of dense small bubbles, melting shell outside, there are rhyoid on the melting shell, and sometimes there are large gas marks on the outside and under the melting shell.
隕石的珍貴，在於它是最古老的岩石。對於研究外太空有著重要的作用，它能有效地提供地球以外各星球的早期歷史資料和信息，世界各國對於隕石都十分看重，將其作為重要的科研材料。
Meteorites are precious because they are the oldest rocks. It plays an important role in the study of outer space. It can effectively provide the early historical data and information of the planets outside the Earth. Meteorites are highly valued by all countries in the world as important scientific research materials.
