Meteorite
A meteorite is a fragment of space rock that survived its journey through Earth’s atmosphere and landed on the surface of our planet. Each piece is a tangible reminder of the vast universe beyond Earth, shaped by extreme heat, pressure, and time.
Meteorites are valued for their unique textures, fusion crusts, and natural markings formed during atmospheric entry. They are collected as scientific specimens, display pieces, and rare natural objects that represent the connection between Earth and outer space.
✨ Fact & Fun Fact:
Meteorites originate from asteroids, the Moon, or Mars and are typically composed of iron, stone, or a mixture of both. When entering Earth’s atmosphere, their surface melts and forms a dark fusion crust. Some meteorites are over 4.5 billion years old, making them older than Earth itself.
