I wonder what the going rate for repairing meteorite damage is?That is amazing and wonderful and so strange. Its also unfortunate that she's got to make roof repairs.
It was a meteor wrong.

more than the value of the meteorite probablyI wonder what the going rate for repairing meteorite damage is?
Hard to say. Don't know much about the value of meteorites or the extent of the damage done to the house.more than the value of the meteorite probably
Your "expert" was probably wrong. The only diamonds that I can find found in meteorites are exceptionally small ones. They are at the most measured in mircometers and at times measured in nanometers. Learning from my past error I did look for multipole sources on this and that seems to be the consensus. The reason why your post immediately raised my eyebrows is that diamonds in the Earth are formed in conditions not seen by meteorites. They are formed deep in the Earth's crust for a prolonged period of time under high pressure. Meteors never became part of a planet. At any rate here is a fairly recent article on diamonds in meteorites:I used to be a rock collector, I had a jet black pot marked and very heavy meteorite about the size of a golf ball I found as a kid with white milky pieces on the surface, but alas I lost it when we moved from Cleveland to California as a kid, later an expert told me those white milky pieces had to be diamonds as anything else clear white would have melted off in re=entry, he said it would have been worth about $3000, this was back in 1980 abouts
Yes...but they are still valuable.The value of a meteorite never relies upon the value of its contents. Its value comes from its rarity, but they do not appear to be as rare as I thought.

You misunderstood. It could have been a meteorite. But the claim of diamonds on it was probably incorrect.Well according to the test I did on the rock, it was either a meteorite or uranium, maybe its just as well I lost it because I used to carry it around in my pocket.

And why either a meteorite or uranium? That seems to be an odd pairing.

Who did the hardness tests? Without a smooth surface it is hard to test the hardness of minerals. Either the testing surface needs to be smooth and one must be very sure of which mineral is scratching it or the surface of the mineral needs to be flat. There are other white minerals besides calcite and quartz.the hardness test, evidently it couldn't have been a meteorite with clear white deposits, theres no quartz or calcite on meteorites

In the US it would be hers, since it is her property. I don't know what the law is for Canada. That meteorite could be easily be worth a million dollars:

Real money, not that funny colored stuff from up north.
Its steep. You have to first of all pay for emergency roofing -- or do that part yourself on a roof which is probably an angled roof. Then you pay a carpenter to fix most everything else. Then you pay the roofer again. Then you pay someone to clean up any water damage. If you are very unlucky there could be plumbing or electrical problems.I wonder what the going rate for repairing meteorite damage is?
