Meteorite
Meteorites are rocks that fall to the earth's surface from space. Often originating from asteroid and comet fragments that travel through space till crossing our planetary path, as the effects of gravity pull the meteoroid enough to fall through the planet's atmosphere.
Meteors, also known as shooting stars, are the streaks of light created by the gasses held within meteoroids burning in the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the fastest meteors travel at speeds of 44 miles (70km) per second. These amazing space rocks are then considered meteorites when they crash to earth as the final bang!
Metaphysically meteorites connect us to the flow of the universe, connecting to other dimensions, and communicating with others.
A pallasite is a stony iron meteorite with olivine crystals in an iron-nickel matrix. Distinct green olivine crystals can be seen in its cross-sections.
