Meteorite Fukang. This beautiful meteorite is a Palasito, a type of meteorite with translucent golden crystals, of a mineral called olivine, embedded in a nickel-iron honeycomb. The original Fukang meteorite weighed about 450 kg, but it was inevitable that everyone would want to get a very special piece of the cosmos. Since then, the Palasito has been cut into slices, which give it that aspect of stained glass when the Sun passes through them. Currently the pieces are usually auctioned all over the world.
