Meteoric Olivine Space Crystals Custom Museum Display

This custom museum display showcases Authentic Olivine Meteoric Crystals 4.26-4.20 billion years old, and found in Belarus in 1810. Large and small impacts have affected Earth since its formation 4.55 billion years ago. Compared with the intensely pitted and cratered Moon, Earth has relatively few preserved impact craters, because they have been destroyed by water and glacial erosion. Impact events are accompanied by tremendous amounts of heat, resulting in melting of much of the ejected pulverized bedrock at ground zero. The melted material cools quickly, and falls back to Earth in the form of Stony iron meteorites.
Olivine has also been discovered in meteorites originating from the M...
