When it slammed into the surface of Earth,
there was little sign of the beauty that lied inside.But cutting the
Fukang meteorite open yielded a breathtaking sight.Within the rock,
translucent golden crystals of a mineral called olivine gleamed among a
silvery honeycomb of nickel-iron.The rare meteorite weighed about the
same as a hatchback when it was discovered in 2000, in the Gobi Desert in China‘s Xinjiang Province.
