How gorgeous is this pallasite??? It’s called the Fukang Meteorite and was found in the Gobi Desert.
Fukang is the mantle-core boundary of an asteroid that broke apart after a catastrophic collision with a second asteroid. Crystals of olivine and peridot (gem-quality olivine) from the mantle are suspended in an iron-nickel matrix that had been part of the asteroid’s molten core.
How I would LOVE to have this as part of my crystal collection!
If you’d like to own a pallasite, or another spectacular space specimen, Christie’s Auction House is hosting an online auction of meteorites, including this one below, the Willamette, know as the most famous meteorite in the world.
Christie’s auction closes February 23, 2021. If you’d like to participate, here’s the link.

Z, I am so disappointed with earthlings. They harm the innocent way too often.
