This 'meteorwrong' is from the depth of our earth, thrown out at a vulcanic eruption as a vulcanic or olivine bomb. It is filled nearly completely with nice green olivine crystals, most of them shattered by the enormous forces of the eruption. It has been cut and polished as a slice to show the interesting interior. The piece has a very nice lava crust.

This is a Specimen not to be missed in a Meteorite or Mineral Collection, but it is also quite a show piece on it's own.
