Description
Piece of a stony meteorite, which is a rock from space that has survived passing through the atmosphere and impacted the Earth's surface. The dark, glassy exterior is a fusion crust, formed when the surface melts due to intense air friction during atmospheric entry. The type of stone is a chondrite, which is the most common type of meteorites. Most meteorites originate from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and are characterized by a dark fusion crust on the exterior and a lighter, stony interior when broken. H: 7" | W: 3" Good condition.
