GEMS FROM SPACE CREATED BY CELESTIAL COLLISION Only a small fraction of all meteorites found on Earth are pallasites: translucent, olivine crystals embedded in an iron-nickel matrix. Pallasites were first identified as originating from outer space more than 200 years ago. New research has shown the likely formation of the pallasites as a collision between an asteroid and a planetary body.
