1- Rare Olivine Meteroid

 

is a Meteorite? Meteorites are when a meteoroid (space rocks) survives a trip through the Earth's atmosphere and hits the ground. Once it hits the ground, it is then called a meteorite.

Almost 99% of meteorites recovered on Earth originated from asteroids, or rocky objects that orbit the sun (smaller than planets). Some meteorites are more rare and valuable than others because of the size / quantity of material recovered, distinct features, etc.

An olivine meteorite, also known as a pallasite, is a stony-iron meteorite that contains olivine crystals embedded within a nickel-iron matrix. These meteorites are a type of space rock that originate from the boundary between a planet or asteroid's core and mantle. The olivine crystals, often resembling the gemstone peridot, are a silicate mineral, while the surrounding metal is primarily composed of iron and nickel.
