Stones constitute the largest group of meteorites. They originated in the outer crust of a planet or asteroid. Recently-fallen stone meteorites are covered by a thin, black rind known as fusion crust, which forms as the rock’s surface is burned during flight. Fusion crust is fragile and deteriorates easily, so stone meteorites that have been on the surface of our planet for a long time have a similar appearance to Earth rocks. Visible inside most stone meteorites are tiny, glassy, spheres known

Iron meteorites, the most visually intriguing of the meteorite types, come to us from large asteroids with molten cores that once orbited the sun between Mars and Jupiter. Extremely slow cooling of those cores, over millions of years, allowed nickel-iron alloys to crystallize into fantastic geometric structures known as Widmanstätten Patterns. Much like snowflakes, the pattern of every iron meteorite is unique. Such patterns are prominently displayed in these exquisite necklaces. Each piece is o

What's hiding inside of meteorites is mind-blowing. The Widmanstätten pattern is a unique geometric pattern found in meteorites. It forms due to the slow cooling of iron-nickel alloys over millions of years. The pattern is distinctive and cannot be replicated on Earth, making it a remarkable feature of meteorites. | Fossils Explorer

This is mostly what I do with the meteorites I’ve found: cut them into slices to give people the chance to own something as old as our solar system and contemplate it every day. As I mention in the video, the pattern is impossible to replicate. But why? Because its formation took literally billions of years under outer space conditions, such as vacuum and the absence of gravity. When the meteorite was molten metal in space, it cooled at a rate of just one degree every million years. This incredi
