The 4.5-billion-year-old Fukang meteorite plunges into the Gobi desert, China, in 2000 a spectacular beauty, with golden crystals.
>>>The spectacular beauty of "cosmic treasures"
Fukang meteorite was discovered in Gobi desert, China. It has a normal appearance but when "dissecting" it possesses perfect beauty and creates a beautiful color effect when under the sunlight.
A climber discovered it. After that, the meteorite is divided into parts to dissect and auction. It was discovered that Fukang had transparent gold-colored crystals of a mineral called olivine that fluttered in a honeycomb-shaped structure of a nickel-iron compound.
Therefore, it is considered to be the most beautiful celestial body ever seen.
Later, the Fukang meteorite was divided into dozens of small pieces that were sold at the top and divided among scientists in many countries.
Among them, 31kg meteorites were sent to the University of Arizona.
In 2008, part of the Fukang meteorite was auctioned at a starting price of $ 2,000,000 in Bonham, New York (USA). As a result, it is sold at twice the price of the original price.
Thanks to a half-formed iron nickel, half of it is olivine, this asteroid has a very similar shape to mysterious stone mosaic.
Experts believe that Fukang originates from deep within the original meteorite. It was formed during the creation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
