In 2000, a 925-pound meteorite crashed in Fukang, China, showing no immediate signs of the remarkable beauty hidden inside. However, when a thin slice of the rock was removed, it revealed an extraordinary surprise. This meteorite was not just any space rock; it was an incredibly rare pallasite, a stony-iron meteorite. Within its silvery nickel-iron structure, large, gem-quality olivine crystals, also known as peridot, were embedded, creating a stunning mosaic of translucent gemstones. This discovery transformed an ordinary-looking rock into a cosmic masterpiece.
