This 'meteorwrong' is from the depth of our earth, thrown out at a vulcanic eruption as a vulcanic or olivine bomb. It is generally filled nearly completely with nice green olivine crystals, most of them shattered by the enormous forces of the eruption (please check our slices). It has not been cut and is in as-found condition. 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.
