How gorgeous is this pallasite??? It’s called the Fukang Meteorite and was found in the Gobi Desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s molten core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How I would LOVE to have this as part of my crystal collection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
